System Performance: Maximizing Energy Efficiency in Heating and Cooling

The world around us is evolving and the drive to reduce energy consumption is stronger than ever. The increasing demand on dwindling resources has challenged us to find ways of further reducing overall energy consumption. HVAC Systems constitute forty to sixty percent of the total energy consumption in buildings within the United States.

Developed to aide technicians in many proper techniques and procedures used to both verify and optimize performance of HVAC systems

Efficiency ratings such as the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating (SEER), Energy Efficiency Rating (EER), Coefficient of Performance (COP) and Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) have been established to aid the public in identifying the efficiency of new equipment. These ratings allow consumers to accurately compare HVAC systems prior to purchase. These ratings are also used by technicians to determine whether equipment meets or exceeds their stated energy ratings.

The majority of older existing homes and structures have less efficient systems in operation that use more power than today's high efficiency systems. Many factors can lead to a system operating less efficiently than its designed specification. Improper installation, service and maintenance of both new and existing systems and changes to both indoor and outdoor conditions may lead to systems operating less efficiently than their original designed specifications.

 
The System Performance Verification training and certification series is not intended to be a comprehensive guide to all system performance issues; it was developed to aide technicians in many proper techniques and procedures used to both verify and optimize performance of HVAC systems with specific emphasis placed on:
  • Proper refrigerant charging procedures and net capacity verification
  • Psychrometric fundamentals
  • Combustion efficiency
  • System airflow testing processes
