Funding will support laboratory research and bench and pilot-scale testing of a building-integrated, membrane-based enthalpy recovery ventilation system designed to increase the efficiency of vapor compression air conditioning units in buildings. The proposed work is consistent with the goal of Building Energy Efficiency Through Innovative Thermodevices: to develop energy-efficient building cooling technologies that will reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Proposed work consists entirely of research, development, and demonstration work to be completed in laboratories, testing, and analysis facilities located at Membrane Research Technology, Inc., in Menlo Park, California, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California. The work performed will be limited to in-lab design, development, testing, and analysis.
