GREEN GLOBES #1.6.1.1-A At least 50% of chillers are high-efficiency, or there are no chillers? (If yes, also select the "At least 25% . . ." option below.)

Tooltip

If 50% or more of the chillers are high-efficiency or there are no chillers, check the boxes for both criteria 1.6.1.1-A and 1.6.1.1-B.

High-efficiency chillers are typically rated at full-load efficiency in the range of 0.46-0.65 kW/ton compared to old CFS-11 or CFC-12 chillers which have an efficiency in the range of 0.72-0.90 kW/ton.

GREEN GLOBES #1.6.1.1-B At least 25% of the chillers are high-efficiency, or there are no chillers?

Tooltip

If 50% or more of the chillers are high-efficiency or there are no chillers, check the boxes for both criteria 1.6.1.1-A and 1.6.1.1-B.

High efficiency chillers are typically rated at full-load efficiency in the range of 0.46-0.65 kW/ton compared to old CFS-11 or CFC-12 chillers which have an efficiency in the range of 0.72-0.90 kW/ton.

GREEN GLOBES #1.6.1.2 : Variable speed drives?

Tooltip

These electronic devices control motor speed by varying the frequency of the electrical supply, thereby reducing energy consumption, improving fan or pump control, and extending the life of the equipment.

GREEN GLOBES #1.6.1.3 : Combined heat and power (CHP) plants?

Tooltip

Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of heat and electrical or mechanical power achieved by capturing and recycling the rejected heat that escapes from an electricity generation process in the building. Cogeneration can be used to reduce peak demand.

GREEN GLOBES #1.6.1.4 : Energy recovery ventilation systems?

Tooltip

Energy recovery ventilation systems reclaim waste energy from the exhaust air stream and use that heat to condition the incoming fresh air.

GREEN GLOBES #1.6.1.5-A : Other energy-saving systems or measures?

GREEN GLOBES #1.6.1.5-B : Describe any other energy-saving systems or measures being used.

Tooltip

If 1.6.1.5-A is checked, use 1.6.1.5-B to describe any other energy-saving systems or measures (e.g. deep lake cooling, displacement ventilation, underfloor air distribution, dehumidification methods etc.) used to save energy.
