Please join us in welcoming Hoy Bohanon as we review how to commission energy savings equipment such as air-to-air energy recover systems. What are key performance factors that must be measured? When can you simulate and when must you measure? Devices addressed include air-to-air energy recovery plates and wheels, desiccants, run around loops, and water-side economizers.
