This seminar addresses the issues mechanical system design engineers encounter in daily situations, but cannot appropriately address with energy analysis only. Since exergy analysis enables the comparison of different forms of energy and different energy qualities, it makes it possible to optimize the performance of an HVAC system holistically, including fan and pump powers. This session includes presentations from practitioners and from researchers, and will cover the applicability of exergy analysis in optimizing the HVAC system performance, and how we can use exergy analysis to reach net zero energy or exergy building targets.
