- Cooling tower · rejects the chiller's heat outdoors
- Chiller · makes the chilled water for air-conditioning, often the biggest single electrical load
- Condenser water pump · circulates water between the chiller and the cooling tower
- Chilled water pump · sends chilled water to the air handlers; a VSD lets it follow the load
- Air handling unit (AHU) · blows air across the chilled-water coil and into the building
- Ultrasonic flow meter · clamped on the chilled-water pipe to measure flow and cooling load (RT)
- Power logger · logs kW, kWh and power factor over days: Meatrol Mi550 / Fluke 430 Series II
