Hybrid Cooling

Hybrid Cooling

Our goal is to reduce the energy consumption of US commercial buildings through broader adoption of hybrid indirect evaporative cooling technology. Our objective is to implement a flexible hybrid evaporative cooling system model in EnergyPlus to allow Title-24 credit to be awarded for use of this novel low-energy cooling technology. This project is ongoing and is expected to complete fall 2014 with the public release of a plug in model to EnergyPlus, and user guide.
