Radiant heating and cooling, displacement ventilation with heat recovery and storm water cooling: an environmentally responsible HVAC system.

Author(s) : CARPENTER S. C., KOKKO J. P.

Summary

This paper describes the design, operation, and performance on an HVAC system installed as part of a project to demonstrate energy efficiency and environmental responsibility in commercial buildings. The systems installed in the 2180 m2 office building provide superior air quality and thermal comfort while requiring only half the electrical energy of conventional systems primarily because of the hydronic heating and cooling system. Gas use for the building is higher than expected because of longer operating hours and poor performance of the boiler/absorption chiller.
