ASHRAE Handbook (2008): What is Heat Recovery?“In many large buildings, internal heat gains require year-round chilleroperation. The chiller condenser water heat is often wasted through a coolingtower” “[Heat recovery] uses otherwise wasted heat to provide heat at thehigher temperatures required for space heating, reheat, and domestic waterheating”Heat recovery creates and uses energy at higher chiller lift conditionto improve overall building efficiency11Johnson Controls - Proprietary

Today’s and tomorrow’s challengeAdditional component-level efficiency gains will be insufficient.1".we are reaching maximum technological limits at a componentlevel and that in the future the industry will have to look at thefull HVAC system for further improvements. AHRI is in the processof forming a new working group to address systems approaches forefficiency improvements and will work closely with Standard 90.1.”- Dick Lord, co-writer of addendum ‘ch’ to ANSI/ASHRAE/IESStandard 90.1-2010, ASHRAE Press Release, December 12, 2012Johnson Controls - Proprietary
