Napier Building, University of AdelaideThe existing Napier Building on the city campus of the University of Adelaide was originally equipped with a central chiller to provide cooling to air conditioners throughout the building.
TRINAMIC Consultants undertook a detailed life cycle cost analysis on options available for replacement of the chiller which was beyond economic repair. As a result of our analysis, the optimum long term solution was found to be a combination of smaller chiller and ice storage to accommodate the peak demand, subsequently avoiding installation of a single large chiller, and thereby significantly reducing operating costs. |
