Air-conditioning systems. Final report of Task 6.

Author(s) : Armines, RIVIERE P.

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

This is the draft report for Task 6 on the Air Conditioning Systems, as part of the preparatory study on Air Conditioning and Ventilation Systems in the context of the Ecodesign Directive: ‘ENTR Lot 6 – Air Conditioning and Ventilation Systems’. This study is being carried out for the European Commission (DG ENTR). The consortium responsible for the study is Armines (lead contractor), BRE and VHK. The underlying report has been written by Armines. Identify design options, their monetary consequences in terms of Life Cycle Cost for the user, their economic and possible social impacts, and pinpointing the solution with the Least Life Cycle Costs (LLCC) and the Best Available Technology (BAT). The assessment of monetary Life Cycle Costs is relevant to indicate whether design solutions might impact the total user’s expenditure over the total product life (purchase, operating, end-of-life costs, etc.). The distance between the LLCC and the BAT indicates —in a case a LLCC solution is set as a minimum target — the remaining space for product-differentiation (competition). The BAT indicates a target in the shorter term that would probably be more subject to promotion measures than to restrictive action. The BNAT indicates possibilities in the longer term and helps to define the exact scope and definition of possible measures. The intermediate options between the LLCC and the BAT have to be described, and their impacts assessed.
