Energy Savings Potentials in Residential and Small Commercial Thermal Distribution Systems-An Update.

DE200415006982

Publication Date	2004
Personal Author	Andrews, J. W.
Page Count	78
Abstract	This is an update of a report (Andrews and Modera 1991) that quantified the amounts of energy that could be saved through better thermal distribution systems in residential and small commercial buildings. Thermal distribution systems are the ductwork, piping, or other means used to transport heat or cooling from the space-conditioning equipment to the conditioned space. This update involves no basic change in methodology relative to the 1991 report, but rather a review of the additional information available in 2003 on the energy-use patterns in residential and small commercial buildings.
