AI for District Cooling Load Optimization & Chiller Sequencing

Use AI to forecast cooling loads, optimize chiller sequencing, and reduce energy costs while maintaining comfort in district cooling systems.

District cooling plants consume significant energy. AI forecasts load, sequences chillers and TES, and optimizes pumps and setpoints to lower kWh/RT and demand charges.

Pump/VFD setpoint optimization for delta-T

Runtime balancing to manage maintenance.

Detection of fouling, refrigerant issues, sensor drift.
