Document Description
EPRI proposes to design, develop and install a Heating, Ventilation, Air, Conditioning (HVAC) system to replace one aging air handling unit (AHU) at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego, CA, in collaboration with Conservant Systems, Inc. The project requires removing an outdated AHU, modifying existing equipment and installing new technology for the baseline and demonstration data collection.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 gas and electricity ratepayers by demonstrating the energy and costs saving generated by the HEDS AHU(s).
