Typically, either VAV reheat or fan-powered terminal units are used to provide the tempering needed to balance the reduced cooling load.

Changeover/Bypass VAV System

Many smaller buildings cannot afford commercial, or applied, equipment. Often constant-volume, light-commercial equipment, like a small packaged rooftop unit, will be used.

Nevertheless, it may still be desirable to accommodate many independently controlled spaces economically. For these applications, a special VAV system called a changeover/bypass VAV system is available.

Like a typical VAV system, a changeover/bypass VAV system contains an airflow-modulation device for each individually controlled space. This device modulates supply airflow in response to the space load. Instead of modulating the central supply fan, however, this system supplies constant primary airflow.
