Undesired oscillations (hunting) in process variablessuch as fan speeds, and valve and damper openings. in heating,ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems results notonly in suboptimal performance, but also component wear andincreased energy costs. This paper first presents a simple algorithmto detect these undesired oscillations in building HVACsystems. The paper then provides the results of a survey doneto gauge the magnitude of the problem of hunting in buildingHVAC systems by implementing the algorithm on dataobtained from air-handling units (AHUs) of 10 different buildingson the Texas A
