This final report presents the results of research completed during Phase III of the project, "Localized Thermal Distribution (LTD) for Office Buildings," sponsored by the California Institute for Energy Efficiency. The project team consisted of researchers from the University of California, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, and Humboldt State University. Work was performed in three task areas: (1)Whole-Building Energy Simulations, (2)Field Studies, and (3)LTD Engineering and Applications Guide Outline. Following this Executive Summary, the final report is presented in four separate parts, each addressing one of the above task areas with two describing work on the two separate field studies.
