- constant volume

Constant volume systems, as their name

suggests, generally deliver a constant
airflow to each space. Changes in space
temperatures are made by heating or
cooling the air or switching the air handling
unit on and off, not by modulating
the volume of air supplied. These systems
often operate with a fixed minimum
percentage of outdoor air or with an air
economizer feature

- variable air volume system

Variable air volume systems maintain
thermal comfort by varying the amount of
heated or cooled air delivered to each
space, rather than by changing the air
temperature. (However, many VAV
systems also have provisions for resetting
the temperature of the delivery air on a
seasonal basis, depending on the severity
of the weather). Overcooling or
overheating can occur within a given zone
if the system is not adjusted to respond to
the load. Underventilation frequently
occurs if the system is not arranged to
introduce at least a minimum quantity (as
opposed to percentage) of outdoor air as
the VAV system throttles back from full
airflow, or if the system supply air
temperature is set too low for the loads
present in the zone.
