Cover of Boiler Replacement PackageBoiler Replacement Package

 

This guide describes a package of efficiency measures that can be incorporated with a boiler replacement. It provides information on performance requirements for energy efficiency, energy savings, and implementation costs. 

 

Cover of Chiller Replacement PackageChiller Replacement Package

This guide describes a package of efficiency measures that can be incorporated with a chiller replacement. It is primarily for school facilities staff involved with the planning, design and specification of infrastructure upgrades. It may also be used by stakeholders such as designers, energy consultants and service providers. 

 

 

Cover of Roof-top Unit (RTU) Replacement PackageRoof-top Unit (RTU) Replacement Package

This guide describes a package of efficiency measures that can be incorporated with a roof-top unit (RTU) replacement. In addition to a high efficiency RTU, the package includes several complementary measures that provide deeper savings and allied.

 

 

Topics: accessibility, connectivity, product line comprehensiveness, scalability, compatibility, trending, control capabilities, analytics, managed services and subscriptions, and delivery modelProduct Selection Guidance for Small Building Control

The table of considerations linked here can be used by building owners to help define the roof-top (RTU) control solution features required to meet the needs of their building or building portfolio. The considerations listed in the table are not exhaustive, but are meant to spur conversation with different stakeholders within an organization (e.g., IT, maintenance, energy management, etc.) to determine their requirements. The owner can then use the defined requirements in discussions with manufacturers to help determine if a solution meets the needs of the building(s) and stakeholders.

Each product is categorized into one or more of the following control categories: 1) Networked Thermostatic Control; 2) Advanced RTU Control; 3) Light Commercial BAS – Integrates with Multiple-Zone HVAC Systems; and 4) Light Commercial BAS – Integrates with Other Energy End Uses. Categorized Listing of Packaged Rooftop HVAC Unit (RTU) Controls 

The landscape of building HVAC controls can be difficult to navigate due to the number of solutions readily available on the market. In particular, it is often unclear which solutions are best suited for small to medium-sized buildings. To help clarify the landscape, the table within this guidance document categorizes manufacturers and their respective controls products suited for small to medium commercial buildings equipped with packaged rooftop HVAC units (RTUs).
