Summary
Rooftop units toil away during the day under hot conditions; consequently, their energy efficiency, as compared with chiller systems for building cooling, is generally much lower. One manufacturer, Calmac Corp., has created the Roofberg system, which allows conventional rooftop units to be converted to a central chiller system with ice storage.
