Building Energy Management and Conservations- HVAC -Part III

Energy Efficiency in HVAC: After reducing cooling/heating loads through passive design strategies, enhancing the efficiency of HVAC systems should be the top priority for any building energy efficiency

Outline.

1. Energy Saving Potential in HVAC System Design: Chiller, Air Distribution System, Water Pump, Cooling Tower
2. High efficiency chillers: Chiller is the highest energy consumer in the HVAC system. Chiller efficiency is rated in kW/ ton or coefficient of performance (COP)
3. Radiant cooling system: : Schematic Diagram of a Radiant Cooling
4. Energy-efficient pumps and fans (HVAC system)

Solar Cooling: Schematic Diagram of a Solar Air Conditioning System
