University of Maryland engineers offer long-term relief for heating and cooling costs
As winter marches on, and with energy resources in question after a disastrous hurricane season, American homeowners are opening their energy bills with trepidation, and heating and cooling system manufacturers are seeking ways to offer them relief.
New software developed at the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering, with support from industry sponsors, may provide some answers. Called CoilDesigner, it helps manufacturers design customized heating and cooling systems that cost less to build and use less energy.
