Series Fan Powered Box

A series fan powered box has a fan that must run throughout the occupied mode in order to deliver ventilation air to the zone.

Required Objects

The Series Fan Powered Box (SFPB) must have the following properties.

• It must be attached to an air system.
• It must be attached to a conditioned zone.

Design Assumptions

• The air flow is sized for the sensible peak on a traditional air system and only ventilation for a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS).

Property	Value	Notes
Cooling supply air temperature	N/A	Determined by the Air System (typically 12.7778°C).
Heating supply air temperature	40°C

Reheat Coil

The reheat coil has the following assumptions.

• The electric resistence reheat coil is 100% efficient.
• The furnace reheat coil is 80% efficient.
• The hot water reheat coil has the following properties.

Property	Value	Notes
