Mechanical Performance Factor Development for HVAC System Performance

Document Number: PNNL-32140
Document Type: Technical Support Document
Publication Date:

Total System Performance Ratio (TSPR) is a metric for evaluating overall system efficiency instead of individual component efficiency, a solution that could also eventually facilitate the transition to a 100% performance-based code structure. TSPR is a ratio that compares the annual heating and cooling load of a building to the annual energy consumed by the building's HVAC system. This technical documentation provides background on the TSPR and support for the mechanical performance factors that are developed each 90.1 edition cycle to be used in the calculation. The current factors are developed for the 2022 edition of 90.1 in combination with addendum AG.
