This appendix contains information on the hypothetical building and air-handling system used to illustrate the concepts in the Functional Test Guide chapter on Integrated Control and Operation. Portions of this information are also reproduced at appropriate points in the chapter for easier reference.
Project: Renovation of the student center and administration building on a Midwestern college campus located in the vicinity of St. Louis, Missouri. The building contains 47,500 conditioned square feet. The renovation project focused on the basement and first floor of the building, renovating the shipping and receiving offices, the student union, the student lounge and snack bar, and creating space for a local history museum that is operated by several of the departments on the campus. The museum has demanding requirements in terms of environment and hours of operation, but many of the other areas also operate for a significant number of hours every day.
System: As apart of the renovation work, a new air-handling system—AHU1—was installed to condition 17,500 square feet on the basement and first floor levels. Both AHU1 and the other existing systems in the building were connected to the campus central chilled water and heating water plant via pumped secondary connections to improve the building’s efficiency and redundancy. The existing boiler and air-cooled chiller located in the AHU2 roof-level mechanical room were removed from the building at the completion of the project. Because of the varying usage, AHU1 must have good turn-down characteristics and control strategies that optimize primary set points, allowing the needs of the museum to be met while minimizing the associated energy penalty.
Documentation: This chapter describes the complex issues that must be addressed in this renovation project.
