2.3.2 Summarized Results <strong>for</strong> Other Sites<br />

Since some necessary in<strong>for</strong>mation about compressor <strong>and</strong> TXV <strong>and</strong> system<br />

configuration is not available so far, the decoupling-based FDD approach was partially<br />

applied to the other sites. Comprehensive FDD results <strong>and</strong> economic assessment will be<br />

provided after all the necessary in<strong>for</strong>mation is obtained. Similar to Milpitas site, data<br />

collected from April to October in 2002 were used to do analysis <strong>for</strong> the following sites.<br />

There are two modular school sites at Woodl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Oakl<strong>and</strong>. At each site there<br />

are two 3.5-ton Bard wall-mounted heat-pump RTUs (WH421-A). Table 2-1 summarizes<br />

the FDD results <strong>for</strong> these two sites.<br />

Similar to the Milpitas McDonalds site, the Bradshaw McDonalds site uses a 6-<br />

ton York RTU. Both Castro Valley <strong>and</strong> Watt Avenue McDonalds sites have two York<br />

two-stage RTUs, but only one RTU in each site was configured <strong>for</strong> FDD investigation<br />

(one is 10 tons <strong>and</strong> the other is 11 tons). Table 2-2 summarizes the FDD results <strong>for</strong> these<br />

three McDonalds sites.<br />

There are five Trane heat-pump RTUs (one is 6.25 tons <strong>and</strong> other four are 7.25<br />

tons) installed at the Walgreens Rialto site. Table 2-3 summarizes the FDD results <strong>for</strong><br />

this site.<br />
