Author(s) : ROTH K. W., WESTPHALEN D., DIECKMANN J., et al.

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

This report is the third volume of a three-volume set of reports. It addresses opportunities for energy savings in commercial building HVAC systems in the USA, specifically technology options and their technical energy savings potential, current and future economic suitability, and the barriers preventing widespread deployment of each technology in commercial building HVAC systems. Extract from the table of contents: energy saving technology selection process; 15 technology options selected for more refined study (adaptive and fuzzy logic control; dedicated outdoor air systems; displacement ventilation; electronically-commutated permanent magnet motors; enthalpy-energy recovery heat exchangers for ventilation; heat pumps for cold climates; improved duct sealing; liquid desiccant air conditioners; microchannel heat exchangers; microenvironments: task-ambient conditioning; novel cool storage concepts; radiant ceiling cooling/chilled beam; smaller centrifugal compressors; system/component diagnostics; variable refrigerant volume/flow). The appendix gives data sheets for 40 technologies studied in more detail.
