Pilot Evaluation

Validate the Savings Before Making Your Investment Decision

A structured pilot lets you measure actual COOLNOMIX performance on your equipment using controlled baseline-and-trial comparison before committing to a full investment. Measured data — not projections — drives the decision.

Why Run a Pilot?

Manufacturer-reported savings and published case studies are useful reference points, but actual performance depends on your equipment type, operating conditions, installation configuration and measurement methodology. A pilot establishes a defensible, meter-based result for your facility before capital is committed.

Measure, don't assume

Direct meter-to-meter comparison replaces projections with verified consumption data.

Controlled comparison

Baseline and trial periods are matched for weather, occupancy and operating schedule.

Decide with evidence

Validated savings feed a financial evaluation so the purchase decision rests on real numbers.

The Pilot Process

  1. 1

    Preliminary assessment

    We review your HVAC equipment inventory, electricity baseline and operating profile to identify candidate systems and a provisional AC-01 quantity for evaluation.

  2. 2

    Equipment review

    Our technical team examines compressor configuration, control type, nameplate data and suitability considerations for the candidate direct-expansion or refrigeration systems.

  3. 3

    Technical approval

    Manufacturer-approved documentation and qualified personnel confirm the installation scope and AC-01 device quantity before any work begins.

  4. 4

    Pilot agreement

    A formal agreement defines parties, scope, metering, acceptance criteria and responsibilities. Legal and technical review is required before use.

  5. 5

    Baseline measurement

    Eligible system electricity is metered over a representative baseline period to establish pre-installation consumption under normal operating conditions.

  6. 6

    Qualified installation

    Authorized installers fit the approved AC-01 units per current manufacturer documentation. No confidential wiring is published on this site.

  7. 7

    Trial monitoring

    Post-installation consumption is metered over a comparable trial period, controlling for weather, occupancy and operating schedule.

  8. 8

    Results analysis

    Baseline and trial readings are compared on a meter-to-meter basis. Adjustments, if any, are documented with their technical basis.

  9. 9

    Financial evaluation

    Measured savings feed the Executive Investment Analyzer to estimate payback, ROI, NPV and IRR for your facility's actual tariff and operating assumptions.

  10. 10

    Purchase decision

    With validated performance and a financial justification in hand, you decide whether to proceed to full deployment — no obligation from the pilot itself.

Measurement Periods

A

Baseline period

14–28 days

Illustrative, not guaranteed

Meter eligible system electricity under normal operating conditions before any AC-01 installation. Establishes the pre-intervention consumption reference.

B

Trial period

14–28 days

Illustrative, not guaranteed

Meter post-installation consumption over a period comparable to the baseline. Compare meter-to-meter, controlling for the factors below.

Adjust for confounding factors: weather, occupancy, operating hours, production activity and other relevant variables. Measure eligible system electricity and relevant auxiliary loads — do not rely only on compressor runtime. Periods are illustrative planning values, not guaranteed durations.

Pilot Agreement Scope

A formal pilot agreement protects both parties and defines the terms under which the evaluation is conducted. The agreement should cover the following items, and requires legal and technical review before use:

Parties
Equipment identification
Approved installation scope
Safety responsibilities
Device ownership
Access permissions
Metering
Data handling
Baseline and trial periods
Performance acceptance criteria
Warranty responsibilities
Removal / restoration procedures
Purchase decision
Confidentiality
Publication permissions

CoolIndoors does not publish confidential installation procedures or wiring diagrams. The confidential February 2014 COOLNOMIX installation guide is for restricted internal historical review only and is not uploaded to this website or any AI knowledge base.
