The larger the energy factor the more energy will be used to produce th
needed supply air temperature given the weather conditions for a spec
geographic area. This value is purely used for compairson. The lower t
greater energy saved due to taking advantage of free cooling.

The larger the energy factor the more energy will be used to produce th
needed supply air temperature given the weather conditions for a spec
geographic area. This value is purely used for compairson. The lower t
greater energy saved due to taking advantage of free cooling.
