<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>

assuming this is in Michigan. I’d bet on CO<sub>2</sub> 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><o:p></o:p></p>
