Summary

The energy performance of buildings is becoming increasingly important to define. Energy monitoring and analysis techniques using degree days have usually been confined to heating systems. This paper sets out how cooling degree-days can be used to assess the operational performance of a refrigeration plant, using real data to demonstrate the potential of the method.
