UOW Demand Flexibility Case Study

Carried out by the University of Wollongong (UOW), this case study performed HVAC load flexibility trials to determine the cost reduction and emissions savings. The impact on building occupants’ thermal comfort during the trials was also investigated. Under the case study trial scenario, environmental conditions and building-specific factors, a 32% reduction in energy consumption and carbon emissions was seen, along with a 29% reduction in energy costs. Occupancy comfort was seen to remain consistent under both normal and trial conditions.
