Hi James,<br><br>Sounds like fun and you're getting all kinds of cool ideas!<br><br>There is a locally owned pizza parlor here in Portland that has done many inventive things. Below is the like that you can read at your leisure. They have great pizza, too!<br>
<br>Hot Lips Pizza: <a href="http://www.hotlipspizza.com/about/sustainability/greenpower.html">http://www.hotlipspizza.com/about/sustainability/greenpower.html</a><br><br>The page you'll open to covers a cool sounding refrigeration technology. They quote a 30% energy savings just from using it. There's a lot more on their website including the use of locally grown organic ingredients, sustaining bees, composting, etc., etc. I'm sure you'll find some ideas applicable to Subway's, if not all of them.<br>
<br>It would be fun to hear how this turns out for you. Maybe you can make a presentation at IBPSA's conference or an ASHRAE conference or somewhere.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Carol<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 7:03 AM, Eric O'Neill <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:elo@michaelsengineering.com">elo@michaelsengineering.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

ventilation control (although I’m not sure what the exhaust requirements
are). You may even only need a single CO<sub>2</sub> sensor, although it will
make control system selection a little more interesting. Avoid in-slab radiant –
night setback will be important. An energy recovery unit may work out as well
(~5 year payback?), considering the high occupant density, cold winters, and
humid summers (Michigan makes you appreciate the blue sky). </span></p>
