Professional Education Seminar (PES)
New Insights Into Space Heating Hot Water Systems in Commercial Buildings
Space heating hot water systems are typically the largest generator of both site- and source- carbon emissions in existing commercial buildings in the US. Better understanding these systems is crucial to decarbonizing the built environment as cost effectively and quickly as possible. This presentation will share findings from a recently completed 4 year long research and demonstration project funded by the California Energy Commission that focused on these systems. The results include a demonstration of in-depth efficiency measures that reduced annual natural gas use by 70% in two existing large office buildings in the San Francisco Bay Area, distribution heat losses measured in seven buildings, an analysis of hydronic heating system data from hundreds of buildings nationwide, and more.
