Emission Reduction Fund Advice on HVAC Equipment

A technical review of the efficiency levels for commercial air conditioners, chillers and close control air conditioners appliances, including a determination of the baseline and the top 25 percentile levels.  The review helped establish the potential energy and emission savings that might occur via the installation of high efficiency HVAC appliances.  The results were to be included in the draft High Efficiency Commercial Appliances method for the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF).  The advice was based on EnergyConsult’s prior extensive research and modelling of the energy use of air conditioners, chillers and close control air conditioners.
