Low Energy Cooling System Case Studies

Collage of various images associated with the Low Energy Cooling System Case Studies including: bar, line and pie charts, a data table and the cover of the PIER brochure — Low-Energy Cooling Systems for Commercial Buildings

Motivation / Problem Statement

Designers and clients do not have enough information about the field performance of low energy cooling systems; analysis tools do not treat all low energy cooling systems.

Activities / Approach

Case studies of field performance and design projects, design assistance.

Accomplishments / Outcomes

Analysis tools improved but deficient in controls, low energy cooling systems have operational problems just like conventional systems.

Future / Follow-on

Commissioning and diagnostic methods?
