Winning Projects Combine Energy Conservation, Comfort, and IAQ
A hybrid chilled-water plant that allows selection of the lowest-cost energy source has been recognized for technological innovation by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE).
The new chilled-water plant at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio, is expected to use $100,000 a year less energy than the single-stage absorption plant it replaced, according to a computer model estimate.
