For the 16 systems included in this report, some of the general conclusions, supported by the data, are the following: no one type of system or subsystem was superior good system performance was more dependent more » on proper selection and sizing of the system components than on the type of system and the most common cause of poor system performance was controller failure or malfunction. Specific detailed data and information necessary to support the development of results presented are contained in the appendices to this report. Section V provides a list of reference material used. This section also summarizes the mechanical problems which reduced system performance. Section IV provides a summary of comparative results for systems monitored during the 1981-1982 space heating season with conclusions which may be drawn from the data. In addition, analysis results are presented in graphic form to highlight key summary information.
Section III contains comparisons of seasonal performance data for the 16 systems. Section II presents an overview of the systems evaluated in this report, including a summary of the individual system parameters. Sections of this report have been organized to permit the reader to examine areas of special interest as well as to highlight general results.
