Home » Tomorrow's Engineer: Backtrack to Central Plant Savings
Among the many technical sessions and meetings that occurred at this summer’s ASHRAE meeting was a session by a group of professionals assessing central chiller plants with a focus on establishing standards for monitoring, measuring, and benchmarking central plant performance.
One issue in this task is determining the ways chilled water plant performance can be stated.
