Overcoming Low Delta T, Negative Delta P at Large University Campus PDF

The University of California, Riverside (UCR) in Southern California is the fastest growing campus in the UC system. The campus has approximately 3 million ft² (279 000 m²) of assignable facilities, including many science buildings with 100% outside ventilation air.

Planning and modifying the campus’ chilled water system has occurred slowly, as resources were available. Unfortunately, those modifications have not always kept up with the campus’ rapid expansion. Moreover, a lack of enforced chilled water system design standards resulted in many different building interfaces.
