Working on a research project (which is NOT focused on finding the most efficient HVAC system) I need to pick a HVAC system for energy simulation.

I would be grateful if you could let me know which HVAC systems are the most energy-saving (and/or most common) for high-rise office buildings in tropical desert climate (Dubai), and why? Could you please also send links to available literature supporting your reply?

I have read about pros and cons of some HVAC systems in some papers including: this and this

I use Ladybug/Honeybee (LB/HB) for connecting Rhino models to Energyplus and OpenStudio. It has a list of different HVAC systems to pick from (*please see the list below the text).

I guess one of these systems might be a good option: VAV w/ Reheat or VAV w/ PFP Boxes or VRF + DOAS. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.
