Abstract
Experts have suggested that using compressed CO2 as a refrigerant may be a cleaner alternative to the current energy systems. Studies have shown that a CO2 energy system saves 80% of the final energy use in urban areas at a cost lower than the current conventional systems. Over the course of five months, the team investigated whether implementing a CO2 district system is a viable option for the University. The team concluded that some of the components in the proposed system are favorable, but due to the heating demand from Grainger buildings, CO2 is not a viable option.
