η "Air conditioning was a most important invention for us, perhaps one of the signal inventions of history. It changed the nature of civilization by making development possible in the tropics. Without air conditioning you can work only in the cool early-morning hours or at dusk. The first thing I did upon becoming prime minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the civil service worked. This was key to public efficiency."

System Efficiency Index (SEI) Developed by ClimaCheck & SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden (RISE). Funded by Swedish Energy Agency. • ClimaCheck determines the COP that your chiller is able to deliver for the actual conditions that thermodynamically limits your chiller performance. • Manufacturer’s method are based on design data, but systems “never” operate at design data. ClimaCheck calculates the actual COP (and kWh/ton) based on actual and ambient conditions. It identifies Energy Efficiency opportunities to maximize the COP even beyond the manufacturer standard. ClimaCheck provides a third party analysis without bias. As such, it will be able to identify calibration • needs in your sensors.
