Type of article: Article

Summary

Because a central plant is responsible for a third or more of a facility's total energy bill, the lack of knowledge about a single variable (e.g., system piping) can have a big impact and add to the challenge of central-plant optimization. The main notions are: energy being supplied by and to the chiller plant; knowledge of the features of the equipment of the central chiller plant; knowledge of indoor and outdoor simultaneous conditions.
