Long operating hours
Systems run early in the morning and late at night, every day of the year.
A terminal is cooled over large volumes, with passenger numbers changing hour by hour and operations that almost never stop. Cooling weighs heavily, on the bill as well as on the carbon trajectory.
Systems run early in the morning and late at night, every day of the year.
Large glazed volumes, solar gains, occupancy that follows the flight schedule: demand keeps changing.
Operators commit to cutting their emissions, and cooling is one of the items to address.
We start from the existing chilled-water network: the regime actually in use, the comfort limit, the hydraulics, the controls. This is Value Smart's first path. We then compare cooling technologies for the same demand, on whole-life cost and emissions, backed by energy audits and chiller refurbishment. For a coastal airport, sea water is part of the comparison.
A chilled-water regime matched to actual occupancy
Constant comfort for passengers
Work compatible with continuous operations
A measurable contribution to the carbon trajectory

Where to start?
Before changing your installation, check the regime of your chilled-water network: that is often where the first gain lies. Value Smart then points you to the right technology.
