    My answer would be option A, as you take more outside air, the operation of the AHU will increase to cool the air which has taken from outside. Which results into increased energy.

    A is the right option.f you increase fresh air from 10% to 30%, the HVAC must: cool more hot outdoor air (in summer) heat more cold outdoor air (in winter) → leading to higher energy use.

    Right Option: D — Over-ventilation Explanation: When a system brings in more outside air than required, the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) improves because fresh air dilutes indoor contaminants. However, conditioned outside air is the most energy-intensive load on an HVAC system. More outside air means increased heating/cooling and fan energy → higher energy consumption. While higher fan speed or filter clogging can increase energy, they do not directly improve IAQ. Over-ventilation does both: improves IAQ and increases energy use.

    A because When indoor air quality (IAQ) improves, it’s often due to bringing in more fresh outside air to dilute indoor pollutants

    D. Over-ventilation. When ventilation rates are increased to improve IAQ, more outside air is brought in, requiring the HVAC system to work harder to heat or cool it, leading to higher energy use.
