Abstract

Through undertaking monitoring and measurement of the energy use in 42 AC systems and their components in 8 EU Member States, HARMONAC has been able to provide an evidence based report on the Energy Conservation Opportunities (ECOs) generally available in Air Conditioning systems. These in-depth Case Studies have then compared with ECOs found from Field Trials of HARMONAC AC system inspection procedures which are based on EN15240 - the CEN Standard for AC Inspection. This comparison has enabled conclusions to be reached about how many of the ECOs that are available would be able to be identified and implemented in EU Member States as a result of the EPBD Inspection process. The project has also produced tools for use in the Inspection process, and a Teaching Package to assist in the Training of Inspectors.
