- Document Description
- EPRI proposes to design, develop and install up to two Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems to replace 2 aging air handling units (AHU) at the Jacobs Medical Center in La Jolla, CA, in collaboration with UC San Diego Health and Conservant Systems, Inc. The project requires removing outdated AHUs, modifying existing equipment and installing new technology for the baseline and demonstration data collection. This project combines AHU technology with a High-Efficiency Dehumidification Systems (HEDS), known as a HEDS AHU system, that will greatly reduce and often eliminate energy consumption to reheat air post cooling and dehumidification and which will help meet California’s statutory energy goals. This project will benefit California Investor Owned Utility electricity ratepayers by demonstrating the energy and costs saving generated by the HEDS AHU(s).
