- Energy savings from occupancy based control of the fan coil unit speeds: a case study Lorenzo Hernánde Tabares Ingeniería HVAC hotel fan coil unit Energy savings occupancy based control The guest spends a considerable time out of the hotel room but he usually k eeps working the highest speeds of the fan coil unit . These units are frequently overlooked as a potential source of energy savings. On the other hand, with real time occupancy measurements and simple co ntrol algorithms high degree of energy saving is possible t obtain. In this work was analyzed the guest beh avior toward s the fan coil unit speed. The possible energy saving to obtain, if during the absence of the guest th e 2n d or the 3rd speed of the fan coil unit is switched to the 1st, was calculated. The selected fan coil speed is proposed as an indicator of guest comfort. An occupancy based control that acts over the fan coil unit speed, when the guest is not in the roo m, is recommended for hotel rooms. 2017 artículo científico 1815-5901 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=329152934006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3291 Ingeniería Energética application/pdf Universidad Tecnológica de La Habana "José Antonio Echeverría" (CUJAE) Ingeniería Energética (Cuba) Num.3 Vol.XXXVIII
