Next Meeting: 8/22/12 at 9 am(no July meeting)
Potential Topics: – Compile list of PNW VRF installations & brainstorm how
to “mine” for useful information– Develop M&V best practice and standard protocol– Develop research plan to verify model accuracy– Compare actual RTU annual fan kWh/SF to models– Develop VRF savings estimates (IEER plus fan?)– NEEA RTU Replacement Discussion
