A solar dedicated ventilation system based on active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) has been designed in this study and tested by experimental research to acquire better control accuracy and energy-saving potential compared with former systems. This system involves photovoltaic, solar thermal, and dedicated ventilation systems and ADRC. The solar energy replaces traditional energy to realize energy-saving potential, and ADRC takes the place of a conventional controller to gain control accuracy. The experimental results show that the temperature standard deviation is from 0.09 to 0.15 °C and difference between maximum and minimum is 0.33 to 0.49 °C (<0.5 °C) at different outdoor conditions to meet accurate control requirements. The results also show the energy-saving potential of the solar dedicated ventilation system as being equal to the power consumption of traditional systems, not including extreme situations. The solar dedicated ventilation system was used for actual operation of the cooling system of a laboratory precisely and efficiently. Consequently, the solar dedicated ventilation system based on ADRC is most suitable for hot and humid places to achieve the energy-saving objective.

Combined system of radiant cooling and dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS) has advantage in energy-saving and thermal comfort. In order to investigate the energy saving potential of the system under different climate conditions in China, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Xi’an were selected, where summer energy consumption of the combined system and fan coil + fresh air system in reference building was calculated with BIN method respectively. The results show that radiant cooling system has better performance in energy saving than fan coil system by saving of 12-16%. The system operation time and outdoor climate are main factors influencing energy saving effect.

The proposed research presents a dedicated outdoor-air system (DOAS) integrated with a vacuumbased membrane dehumidifier (VMD). The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the energy-saving potential of the proposed VMD–DOAS combination. VMD–DOAS comprised a membrane-energy exchanger (MEE), dew-point indirect evaporative cooler (DP-IEC), and VMD. VMD possessed a characteristic by virtue of which the dehumidification process was isothermal; i.e., no temperature change was observed during the VMD process. While VMD served to control the dry-air supply, the required target temperature (i.e., 17 °C) was maintained via DP-IEC operation. The remaining sensible heat of the conditioned zone was controlled by the ceiling radiant cooling panel (CRCP). The load of the conditioned zone was driven by TRANSYS 18, and an engineering equation solver (EES) was used for evaluating the energy-saving potential of the proposed system with CRCP by comparing it against the variable-air-volume (VAV) system. Results of this study demonstrated that the proposed DOAS with CRCP consumed 37% less operating energy compared to the VAV system. This observed energy-saving potential of the proposed system was driven by reducing the dehumidification load and subsequent energy recovery by MEE.
