Technology employs evaporative effect, in lieu of electrically-driven refrigerant compression, to chill water for HVAC cooling...

The purpose of this project is to develop a laboratory test method for evaluating FDD technologies on a Commercial Packaged Rooftop...

This is a study of the market barriers that prevent emerging technologies from being adopted by the HVAC market. Its benefit is definition of possible solutions to increase adoption of EE...

Field assessment of contact toasters for quick service restaurant applications. New contact toasters will replace two baseline units: one toaster for sourdough buns and one for regular buns. The new unit will eliminate the need for multiple heating elements. The expected outcome is validated energy...

The purpose of this project is to perform a laboratory assessment of fault detection and diagnostics technologies (onboard and in-field) on a packaged rooftop unit air...

This system eliminates the central engine room, long piping runs and associated parasitic losses with a traditional ammonia-based system. All components are energy optimized, fully automated, remotely monitored and auto DR ready. This assessment looks at low temperature (-15'F) refrigerated...
