50 % Energy Savings with McQuay PTAC units
By Greg McNary | July 8, 2008
Glenn Anderson and George Kane, building engineers in Arlington, VA needed to replace some old, outdated PTAC units. After testing and completely tearing down 3 different units from various manufacturers, they determined that the McQuay Enersaver PTAC best suited their need. The McQuay PTAC unit was simple and easy to service, and was better engineered and more efficient than the others that were tested.
To further test the efficiency, 26 new units were installed and connected to the buildings energy management system. Alongside were 26 of the older units. Each group was sub-metered for electricity usage, and the new McQuay Enersaver units used 45-50% less energy than the old units. A combination of new custom controls and higher efficiencies helped produce the large reduction in energy use.
