Abstract
A system and method for conditioning air is provided. A building has a hot water source and a cold water source. The system includes at least one heating-cooling unit, a primary water storage device, at least one heat pump, and a controller. The heating-cooling unit transfers heat into or out of air passing within an air handling system of the building. The primary water storage device stores a volume of water within a predetermined temperature range. The primary water storage device is in communication with the hot water source and the cold water source. The heat pump is connected to the primary water storage device and a chilled beam. The controller selectively drives the heat pump to transfer heat between the primary water storage device and the chilled beam. The controller selectively controls the system to transfer heat into or out of the primary water storage device.
