Webinar - SUS HVAC Replacements cohort research project

Rooftop units (RTUs) are the most prevalent form of HVAC units in Ontario’s K-12 schools. Current general practice is to replace end-of-life equipment with the same or an equivalent type of equipment which, while more efficient than older technology, does not take advantage of more efficient alternatives. Continuing addition of air conditioning in schools is expected to primarily consist of RTUs and must be done as efficiently as possible to avoid excessive utility costs and strain on the electrical system. As well as equipment selection, design details, commissioning practices and BAS programming can have a substantial effect on the efficiency of RTU installations.

Sustainable Schools program is conducting a research project to help inform school boards’ and their design consultants’ decision-making on best practices for upcoming projects and the business case for higher standards. This webinar presents the findings of the research project.
