Summary

Annual HVAC energy savings of up to 60% and annual HVAC cost savings up to USD 28.31/m2 of building floor area can potentially be realized in commercial, industrial or institutional type buildings using the most viable heat reclaim and/or economizer system. However, for most systems, a combined heat reclaim and economizer system with priority to heat reclaim operation is most likely to result in the least annual total HVAC energy and be the most viable heat reclaim and/or economizer system. The feasibility of adding thermal storage is under investigation. Additional savings by using other schemes that retain and use internal building heat before it is discarded to the environment (such as air-to-air heat recovery systems), in combination with the heat reclaim-economizer systems analyzed in the study, may be investigated in the future.
