Environmental factors from a cooling perspective PEF, RES AND CO2.

Author(s) : Capital Cooling Energy Service AB

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

The recommendation in this report is to follow Ecoheat4cities’ (2011) standards and use primary energy, carbon dioxide emissions and renewable and recycled energy fraction as indicators on district cooling’s impact on the environment. From a cooling perspective the primary energy and carbon dioxide emissions are the most important indicators due to the fact that RES is already considered in non-renewable primary energy factors and is not required as separate criteria. The three labels weight different aspects of a produced product’s environmental burden. It is important to understand this difference and how it affects district cooling. A major advantage with a DC system is that the system can use energy sources that otherwise would go to waste or use natural cooling sources that would not be used.
