© Trane 2008 10/11/20144 ASHRAE HQ Renovation Who – ASHRAE Society, their HQ Where – Atlanta, Ga. NE, near I-85 What – Total building upgrade and energy retrofit. 2 story office building, 30,000 sq ft. Expanded by a new training center Why – Become a living lab to allow researchers to find out how to get to net zero energy design without impacting IAQ When – Construction June 2007-June 2008

© Trane 2008 10/11/20145 Challenges of very low energy use buildings Will it have a Sustainable or Green focus? Sustainable is indoor environment and energy Green includes a whole lot more What metrics to measure? Comfort and health. Also need metrics to evaluate performance. IEQ for comfort, EUI for energy. What EUI energy metric will be used? Site, Design, or Source EUI
6
© Trane 2008 10/11/20146 IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality) IEQ is IAQ –Temperature –Humidity –Ventilation –Air Quality Plus –Lighting –Acoustics
7
© Trane 2008 10/11/20147 EUI – Energy Use Index BTUH/Net conditioned sq ft. – yearly average Has several definitions Site EUI is the power coming into the building. Allows evaluation of existing building performance. Easy to obtain. Design or ASHRAE 90.1 EUI - For new buildings, design only, No plug or process loads. Nearly impossible to measure after the fact. Source EUI – Building power use at the power plant. Generally nation wide plant efficiencies are used to source number. Source EUI often relates to CO2 impact of the building.

19
© Trane 2008 10/11/201419 Energy Saving System Strategy DOAS Unit will provide Cool, Dry, Filtered Outside Air. 1.Humidity actively controlled to 44 dewpoint at all times by a series desiccant wheel and cooling coil. It can boost water removal when needed. 2.OA CFM delivered to space based on CO2 3.Building pressure controlled with central exhaust fan Room units will do sensible temperature control. 2 and 3 speed fans match sensible load. This control strategy is very simple, easy to manage.

41
© Trane 2008 Controls Summary Building: DOAS unit controls the building humidity at 44 dewpoint. Room units control sensible temperature and have dry coils. Dry Coils reduces potential for IAQ problems and is more energy efficient. DOAS Unit: Space humidity above dewpoint set point, series wheel is on. Space below dewpoint set point, series wheel is off and coil LAT adjusted to minimize system fighting. Optimized Independent Humidity Control

© Trane 2008 Summary There are lots of ways to control temperature and humidity. Green buildings need lower shr systems. Control humidity at full AND part load. Look at life costs when design and operating the system Measure building performance on an ongoing basis For sustainable and maintainable operation, keep the design and controls simple. 10/11/201480
