Abstract

High-efficiency buildings in arid environments present unique challenges for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system implementation. These environments, characterized by extreme temperatures, low humidity, and high solar radiation, demand innovative approaches to maintain indoor comfort while minimizing energy consumption. This paper explores the specific challenges associated with HVAC systems in high-efficiency buildings located in arid regions and proposes potential solutions. Key challenges include managing high cooling loads, maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ) despite dust and pollutants, and ensuring system efficiency under harsh conditions. Solutions discussed include advanced cooling technologies, effective filtration and ventilation strategies, and the integration of renewable energy sources. The findings highlight the importance of tailored HVAC strategies that address the unique conditions of arid environments, thereby contributing to the overall sustainability and energy efficiency of high-efficiency buildings.
