1. A system comprising:
an air handling unit connected to one or more supply ducts and the one or more supply ducts connected to a plurality of variable air volume (VAV) units; and
a calibration unit configured to:
turn off a fan of the air handling unit and initiate zero flow balancing for each of the plurality of variable air volume (VAV) units;
calibrate one or more airflow sensors associated with one or more reference variable air volume (VAV) units of the plurality of variable air volume (VAV) units using a step measure technique or using a value of airflow of the one or more supply ducts measured by an airflow sensor of the air handling unit or by an airflow sensor in the one or more supply ducts;
determine a reference airflow value of the one or more reference variable air volume (VAV) units; and
calibrate other airflow sensors associated with other variable air volume (VAV) units of the plurality of variable air volume (VAV) units based on the reference airflow value of the one or more reference variable air volume (VAV) units.
