Rooftop Unit Replacement: Target's Rooftop Unit Replacement Program

Abstract

This case study describes how Target developed an optimized, re-engineered process that integrates several energy-efficiency measures such as reduced lighting loads, improved roof insulation, optimized ventilation, and more accurate load calculations through its rooftop unit (RTU) replacement program. Target's approach achieved ongoing energy reduction, operations and maintenance reduction, and improved heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) performance by reducing equipment cycling.
