An experimental study of building-integrated off-peak cooling using thermal and moisture ("enthalpy") storage systems.

Summary

The approach was designed to shed air-conditioning load from peak demand periods by using both thermal and moisture storage in buildings. This paper presents results of room-scale experiments performed in two side-by-side test cells where the building-integrated off-peak cooling strategy was tested. The experimental setup and configuration established for this purpose are described. Results from three sets of tests are then presented. Results are given and discussed.
