1 PagesEnergy Efficiency Case Study Facility: Medical Outpatient Facility A mission critical medical outpatient facility with operating rooms that has to maintain HVAC and comfort control for daily operations. Problem: Inefficient operation without reserve capacity Two original 179-ton constant speed chillers with Y delta standard starters providing a combined 358-ton cooling capacity, however, there was a loss of cooling capacity over time of 20%, down to a combined 285-tons. The documented energy consumption to cooling capacity ratio was .95Kw per ton. Whereas, advanced technology at design conditions provides an efficiency level of .55Kw/Ton to .65Kw/Ton availability. Furthermore, with these losses the two original chillers were borderline at maintaining the present coo
