Buildings can cost less to construct and be more comfortable. This report tells how reduced cooling loads and whole-system integration of properly sized cooling and air handling equipment can save money and energy, increase occupant comfort, enhance productivity, and free up valuable space. Topics include end use and market data, efficiency standards, indoor air quality, the effects of the CFC phase-out, as well as in-depth technological assessments of load reduction, air handling systems and components, evaporative and radiative cooling and other alternative cooling techniques, unitary and central cooling systems, gas cooling, and thermal storage systems. The appendices contain lists of manufacturers and trade, professional, governmental, and public interest organizations in the space cooling and air handling field, as well as an index.
