Simulation of source energy utilization and emissions for HVAC systems.

Author(s) : GANSLER R. A., REINDL D. T., JEKEL T. B.

Summary

From the results of the tests performed with several plants, and on an annual basis, thermal energy storage systems have lower source energy requirements and resulting environmental emissions than a base case of an electric direct chilling system. Emission results in all categories were lower than the base. Chilled water systems tended to have the best performance, but ice storage with cold air also performed very well. Absorption systems tended to have lower NOx and SO2 emissions; however, they had the highest source energy consumption, the highest CO2 emissions, and the highest GWI (Global Warming Impact) compared with all other options.
