Retrofitting Air Conditioning and Duct Systems in Hot, Dry Climates

Building Technologies and Science Center

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

This technical report describes CARB's work with Clark County Community Resources Division in Las Vegas, Nevada, to optimize procedures for upgrading cooling systems on existing homes in the area to implement health, safety, and energy improvements. Detailed monitoring of five AC systems showed that three of the five systems met or exceeded air flow rate goals.
