Author(s) : GRAY B. F.

Summary

THE PAPER INVESTIGATES THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT PRIMARY HEATING/COOLING SYSTEMS AND UTILITY RATE STRUCTURES ON THE THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF A LARGE COMMERCIAL BUILDING LOCATED IN SASKATOON, CANADA. THE MAIN COMPONENT EVALUATED IS THE USE OF HYDRONIC THERMAL STORAGE. THE BUILDING INVESTIGATED IS A UNIVERSITY BUILDING. COMPARED TO AN OPTIMIZED CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM, THE THERMAL STORAGE REDUCED OVERALL ENERGY CONSUMPTION WHEN USED FOR BOTH CHILLED AND HEATED STORAGE. THE RESULTS SHOW SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL SAVINGS WHEN THERMAL STORAGE IS USED WITH RATE STRUCTURES WHICH HAVE HIGH DEMAND CHARGES.
