About - HVAC and Lighting Retrofit at the Rifle Range (UC Davis)
Project quantified the energy reduction of 1) variable refrigerant flow heat pump system with dedicated outside air relative to a conventional rooftop air conditioning with gas furnace heating and of 2) Ethernet-powered LED lighting relative to a conventional fluorescent lighting in an office building by performing the following tasks: analyzing monitored data across a limited time-frame (winter season) and estimating the building performance across the year using eQuest simulation. The energy use intensity (EUI) of the building with the implemented systems was estimated at 16.8 kBTU/ft2relative to the baseline EUI of 33.7 kBTU/ft2.
