Abstract

When JCPenney wanted to reduce their dependence on CFC refrigerants, in reaction to the imminent CFC production phase-out, they were very careful not to overlook the additional economic benefits that they could realize with a correctly engineered HVAC upgrade. Not just the improved efficiency of today`s chillers, but also a correct application of Variable Speed Drives (VSD) and strategic engineering could reduce their utility bills dramatically. In 1994, JCPenney contracted Energy Related Projects, Inc. (ERP) of Dallas, Texas, to replace 29 of their chillers, in as many stores, with these energy savings in mind.
