Training Overview
Is your chilled water system operating efficiently? Are you thinking of implementing changes to your chilled water system? What cost savings can you expect from implementing various energy conservation measures? The U.S. Department of Energy’s Chilled Water System Analysis Tool (CWSAT) is a software tool that is available at no charge to help answer this question. This Chiller Tool Training workshop only the second to be offered since the DOE recognized CWSAT as a Best Practices tool in 2005. This training will provide attendees with the background, methodology, and skills needed to begin utilizing this valuable asset.
