The discussion for upgrading a chilled water plant begins for a
number of reasons including repurposing a building, utility rates or
dated equipment. A U.S. DOE-funded study concluded that commissioning
is indeed cost-effective for both new and existing buildings with
potential energy cost saving of over $18 billion. This ENL program
will provide designers with specific strategies for chiller upgrades,
optimization or replacement. We’ll discuss reusing components of a
chilled water system and identify areas where control upgrades would
be beneficial.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify opportunities to upgrade or repurpose chillers
- Summarize the opportunities various design strategies offer existing systems
- Explain how to apply the use of variable flow in existing systems
- Identify and apply control strategies to optimize and reduce system energy use and lower energy costs
