SCOPE
A two-phase approach
may be required. In Phase I, described herein, existing standards
and published methodologies will be evaluated for possible use
or adaptation by NFRC. A variety of such methodologies have been
published and used for many decades in estimating air cooling
system loads for purposes of cooling equipment sizing and longer
term energy performance simulations. Several early publications
are listed below for reference. From this work, recommendations
will be made for additional needed research to develop and validate
any new methodologies that may be useful. The output of this Phase
I contract will be a report of the findings and recommendations
of this contract. This report will identify existing methods that
may be included in a proposed procedure plus any additional research
which the contractor believes will be needed to develop and evaluate
additional methodologies.
Phase II, if needed, will be separately funded, and will pursue
the work called for in a new RFP that will be written, based on
the conclusions of this Phase I effort.
