HVAC Talk of the Week: Performing a Pareto Analysis
Join our Energy Engineer Ruben as he delves into the captivating world of HVAC engineering, and discusses why it's important perform a Pareto Analysis on your optimal design.
How do you determine your optimal hydronic design? Every HVAC design is unique, and for every project, the most optimal solution is very dependent on you specific set of key performance indicators. You might be looking for a solution with the lowest operation costs, or you might want the lowest investment cost. At the same time, you might also be looking at the system that reduces your carbon emissions the most. Ideally, you want all three of them to be true.
However, those key performance indicators very often contradict each other and therefore trade offs have to be made. To this end, we use a Pareto Analysis: for every system we consider to design, we determine the impact on our key performance indicators. The Pareto Analysis then shows us a Pareto front of the optimal designs. Choosing your optimal design then becomes a question of which KPI you value the most.
Of course, the output of you Pareto Analysis is very dependent on your design input. The question therefore becomes: how to you determine which design to use, and how do you calculate their impact on your KPIs?
Tune in to watch the video now, and discover how the Hysopt software can help you determine the optimal design, while assisting you in your engineering process.
