Simplicity for Control of Heating and Cooling Systems for High-Rise Buildings

摘要

Probably the single most important feature for energy efficiency and comfort for high-rise and large buildings is the balanced flow of energy through the distribution systems. With hydronic heating and cooling, water is the medium for the flow of energy. If flow rates are not balanced or regulated on mains, secondary branches and distribution risers, water will follow the path of least resistance. Unregulated water will take shortcuts throughout the piping network, resulting in uncontrolled flow rates that cause wide temperature variations throughout the building, reducing the control for comfort and increasing fuel costs.
