Flashcool Evaporative System

Nexant, in coordination with HMG, monitored the two AC units with FlashCool for a 14-week period (July 26th to August 12th and August 23nd to November 2nd), and without FlashCool for a two week period (August 12th to August 22nd), to determine the overall impact of the FlashCool Technology on energy consumption, peak demand, and water usage. The analysis findings are:

- Reduced average energy consumption of the AC units by 36,193 kWh a year (AC#1 (LENNOX) by 22,061 kWh/yr and AC#2 (TRANE) by 14,132). The percentage reduction of average energy consumption is 36.9% (AC#1 (LENNOX) by 44.1% and AC#2 (TRANE) by 29.4%).
- Reduced the peak demand of the facility during 4 PM to 7 PM on the hottest days  by 8.3 kW (AC#1 (LENNOX) by 5.0 kW and AC#2 (TRANE) by 3.8 kW). The percentage peak demand reduction is 13.1% (AC#1 (LENNOX) by 16.7% and AC#2 (TRANE) by 11.2%).
- Reduced energy usage of the AC units during summer days from 4 PM to 7 PM by 1,376 kWh a year (AC#1 (LENNOX) by 379 kWh  and AC#2 (TRANE) by 997 kWh ). The percentage reduction of energy usage during peak hours is 19.2% (AC#1 (LENNOX) by 17.6% and AC#2 (TRANE) by 19.7%).
- Maximum water usage rate was 18 gallons per hour for the two AC units.
- The annual water usage is calculated to be 34,559 gallons for the AC units.
