Guidelines for Energy-Efficient Commercial Unitary HVAC Systems
White Paper for the Guidelines for Energy-Efficient Commercial Unitary HVAC Systems
In March 2001, CEE's Board of Directors adopted Guidelines for Energy-Efficient Commercial Unitary HVAC Systems, a document that defines energy-efficient installation practices for commercial unitary HVAC systems. These guidelines will augment the existing HECAC initiative.
In response to research indicating that proper sizing and installation of HVAC systems could significantly improve operating efficiency, CEE contracted with the Davis Energy Group to develop the guidelines in December 1999. The project was funded by Pacific Gas & Electric, Sacramento Municipal Utility District, New York State Energy Research & Development Authority, National Grid USA and NSTAR.
These guidelines provide a resource for CEE members and others to develop their own products and program components to encourage proper installation of commercial HVAC equipment. In light of the recent demand shortages, the guidelines will also serve as a valuable resource to help reduce peak load.
Utility members of the Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships are taking advantage of the CEE Commercial HVAC Installation Guidelines through NEEP's Cool Choice program. Click here for details.
