This paper presents a new laboratory set-up for the air-conditioning operation analysis in the Laboratory for Automatic Control at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Belgrade. The new HVAC laboratory is designed to investigate different complex HVAC system working regimes and to provide desired space comfort. The emphasis is specially given to an impact on energy consumption. The laboratory set-up is designed to operate in the complex, dynamic regimes, when indoor environment parameters are intensively changed, together with a change of outdoor conditions. In order to minimize energy consumption, a new software and various automatic control algorithms are designed for automatic control of the air handlig unit.
