Chilled water-based cooling systems are frequently used to aircondition large office buildings or campuses that encompass multiple buildings. They represent a large investment from the perspective of first cost, physical space they require within the building, as well as energy and maintenance cost. The strategies discussed in this design brief can provide the basis for designing chilled water cooling systems that can beat the more aggressive 2001 Title 24 Energy Efficiency Standards by 30 percent or more.
