Project Number ET24SWE0028
2024 - 2026
SWE (Statewide Electric ETP)
ACTIVE
Standard designs for large commercial buildings rely on separate gas-fired hydronic heating and chilled water loops. This technology has slowly been refined with incremental energy efficiency improvements over several decades. The HVAC industry has not yet had enough time to establish how to serve...
