Presents the analysis method of carbon footprint of HVAC system, and puts forward two indices for assessing the impact of HVAC system in operation on environment: carbon emissions and carbon emissions per output energy. The former is for comparing various HVAC system design schemes for the same space, and the latter is for any systems. The both can be used as not only the environmental evaluation indices for various HVAC system design schemes, but also as the theory basis for carbon emission monitoring of the operational systems. In addition, suggests building up baseline carbon emissions of HVAC system.
