In a recent Monday Live discussion, industry leaders gathered to explore the critical relationship between governance and standards in the world of smarter buildings. The

By controlling these four variables — and continuously measuring total kW/ton — AI can optimize a chiller plant to the limit permitted by mechanical condition.
That limit is real And it matters.

We move to the variable that dominates centrifugal chiller electrical efficiency:
Compressor lift.
If there is one concept every operator should understand about chiller performance, it is this:
Lift drives compressor kW/ton.
But as we will see, reducing lift is powerful — and dangerous if misunderstood.
