Altieri Principal Kristen Butts, PE, LEED AP, WELL AP wrote an article for High-Profile magazine examining how heat recovery chiller systems can improve building performance, energy efficiency, and sustainability.
In “Altieri Optimizes Building Performance with Heat Recovery Chiller Systems,” she explains how these advanced mechanical systems simultaneously produce chilled water and hot water by capturing and reusing heat that would otherwise be rejected to the environment. By recovering this energy for use within a building, heat recovery chillers can significantly reduce energy consumption and operating costs while supporting decarbonization goals.
“Altieri specializes in the design of high-performance building systems that often address simultaneous heating and cooling demands through the strategic implementation of heat recovery solutions. For facilities requiring both hot water and chilled water distribution, Altieri integrates heat recovery chillers as a central component of the mechanical system.
A heat recovery chiller is capable of producing hot water and chilled water simultaneously. Unlike conventional systems that reject heat to the environment via air-cooled condensers or cooling towers, this technology captures and repurposes that energy for use within the building’s hot water system, significantly improving overall system efficiency.”
