Effect of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning)-Systems on the Energy Management

摘要

The study is concentrated on four states in the U.S. (Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin) and Finland. The study consists of five main chapters. These are: factors effecting on the HVAC-technical decisions; typical HVAC systems in the U.S.; flexibility, technical properties and energy efficiency of typical conventional HVAC systems in the U.S.; new VAC systems and equipment; and electricity consumption peak levelling. Most important factors effecting on the HVAC-technical decisions are: climate, primary energy sources, construction industry, community structure, and various standards and codes.
