title = "Efficient Air Dehumidification Can Save 15\%-50\% of Cooling Energy in Commercial Buildings",
abstract = "Current approach to dehumidification in commercial buildings with chilled/hot water AHU systems is to overcool return + supply air to dewpoint, and then reheat before supply to zone. This is energy inefficient, with reheat often being gas-fired. To reduce energy consumption, building operators will often operate at little-to-no outside air, sacrificing IAQ. Decarbonizing commercial buildings requires solutions to reduce and fully electrify dehumidification energy consumption. The Altaire ADAPT and Conservant HEDS systems aim to solve this problem by decoupling humidity control from cooling reduces energy consumption while enabling improved IAQ management.",
