Evaluating the Role of HVAC System Configurations in Energy Management and Sustainability in Urban Areas

Luong Van Thanh

Abstract

Urban areas face significant challenges in managing energy consumption and ensuring sustainability due to high population densities and the extensive use of buildings. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems play a crucial role in this context, as they are among the largest consumers of energy in buildings. This paper evaluates the role of different HVAC system configurations in energy management and sustainability in urban settings. Through an analysis of various configurations, including centralized, decentralized, and hybrid systems, this study identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each approach in terms of energy efficiency, environmental impact, and operational effectiveness. The findings suggest that hybrid HVAC systems, which combine elements of both centralized and decentralized systems, offer the best potential for optimizing energy use and enhancing sustainability in urban environments. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and practical implementation strategies to maximize the benefits of advanced HVAC configurations in urban areas.
