A procedure to identify energy savings of variable speed drive (VSD) applied to chilled water network is proposed. The purpose is to identify on which type of building and climate this opportunity can be preferably examined among the list of Energy Conservation Opportunities (137) identified in the HARMONAC project [1]. First, a preliminary analysis of the likely energy savings is led using two methodologies. A simplified approach is proposed in order to create parametric benchmarks. Results of the parametric simulations for several representative buildings of the French stock can be used to select this ECO according to the approximate potential of energy savings. The effect of appliance loads and climatic condition are examined. These procedures, to identify ECOs on site, could be used to be integrated into inspection procedures across Europe in order to apply Article 9 of Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD).
