Reduction in Peak Cooling Loads
The installed cooling loads for some TermoDeck projects in Saudi Arabia (one of the hottest climates in the world) have been compared with the designed cooling loads using conventional HVAC systems.
Installed Cooling loads (capacities) have been more than halved leading to a reduction in Peak cooling loads by over 50%.
Project Location | Area (kvm) | Cooling Load, Conventional (Tons) | Cooling Load, TermoDeck (Tons) | Difference, TermoDeck / Conventional (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Lotus Centre Jeddah | 4 400 | 180 | 76 | 42% |
Gulf Centre Jeddah | 37 000 | 2 200 | 1000 | 45% |
SNS Offices Riyadh | 650 | 23 | 11 | 48% |

During three to five hours the reduction in peak cooling loads can be further reduced up to 90%.
