All,<br><br>Should always be the goal but it is soooo hard to define. I have worked on tiny commercial buildings as well as huge commercial buildings. All types. Right sizing is always my goal and as far as I know is always the goal of the ME's. It was mine when I did HVAC design work. Building occupants are intolerant of too hot and too cold. And, in a building of any size with more than one person in it you will find disagreement about whether it is too hot or too cold at least some of the time. So what do you do? Especially if you are just the hapless, overworked, under paid energy modeler? You can see my project list if you want to. If you listen closely you will hear whatever opinion you want to hear about me and my work. Thank god for VFDs, VRVs and EC motors, eh?<br clear="all">
