The electrical consumption of a printing works can be reduced by utilising thermal storage loads. In order to achieve a balance between 100% outdoor air and conditioned air, different ventilation schemes were compared. The subsequent cooling load derived from the comparison was further evaluated to see if a chiller plant together with a thermal storage system would reduce energy costs.
