3 EarthWise Systems? Energy Efficiency Emissions

4 Buildings use 39% of the Primary Energy Consumed in the United States

5 U.S. Buildings = 9.8 percent of Total Global CO ² Emissions

6 Number of EarthWise Systems Chilled water/vav systems Low flow, low temperature high efficiency systems What do they do? How do they do it? Why use them?

7 Low Flow, Low Temperature, High Efficiency Systems +/-$ air handlers +/-$ ~/ $ ductwork controls +/-$ ~/ $ piping +/-$ chillers

8 How? Supply temperature Flow rates Fans Ductwork Temperature differential Pump Piping

9 Why Use LLH Systems? Good for business Offers the potential to lower first cost and/or operating cost while enhancing comfort, IAQ, and acoustics Environmentally responsible Reduced utility generated greenhouse gas emissions Uses less natural resources Ideal for use in Health care, institutional, governmental, office building, education Other markets where VAV systems are used

10 Chilled Water/VAV Systems

11 Chilled Water/VAV Systems % of HVAC energy consumption LEED EAc1 Atlanta Minneapolis Los Angeles Denver Philadelphia Portland 60 Conventional System 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% Trane EarthWise System 83% 93% 70% 83% 89% 80%

12 Chilled Water/VAV Systems 1970 s % 9% 31% 73% 17% 51% Chiller Cooling tower Water pumps

13 History of Chiller Performance Chiller efficiency, COP Centrifugal >600 tons Screw tons Scroll <100 tons Reciprocating <150 tons ASHRAE Standard 90.1 best available

14 Cool More or Pump More? Pump efficiency 70% COP 0.7 Chiller COP 7.0 Chiller COP 10x the pump COP Conclusion work your most efficient equipment harder

15 chilled water plant design... Old rules of thumb 44 F chilled water supply 10 F delta T across the evaporator - that s at 2.4 GPM/ton 10 F delta T across the condenser - that s at 3.0 GPM/ton

16 chilled water plant design... New rules of thumb F chilled water supply 16-18F delta T across the evaporator GPM/ton 15 F delta T across the condenser GPM/ton Potentially downsized the cooling tower

17 Show Me the Impact Cooling towers Cooling coils Pumps Chillers Air handlers Controls

18 waterside example Cooling Tower Performance (800 tons) 95/85/ GPM 10 F range 7 F approach 40 hp 32 kw 98/83/ GPM 15 F range 5 F approach 40 hp 32 kw

19 waterside example Cooling Tower: Size?, Cost? 95/85/ GPM 10 F range 7 F approach 40 hp 32 kw 98/83/ GPM 15 F range 5 F approach 40 hp 32 kw 100/85/ GPM 15 F range 7 F approach 30 hp 24 kw Same Tower Smaller Tower

20 lessons learned Cooling Tower Performance!Tower water should be hot! Towers should use inverters!

21 Cooling Coil MBH WTR GPM/Ton EWT LWT GPM F F 54 F F F 57 F 63.0 GPM reduction of 37.5%

22 Chilled Water Pump (800 tons) Flow rate 1920 gpm Pump head 110 feet Pump efficiency 80 pct Motor efficiency 95 pct Pump power 52 kw 1200 gpm 49 feet 80 pct 95 pct 16 kw In this installation: a 37.5% reduction in flow = nearly 70% reduction in chilled water pumping energy consumption

23 lessons learned: Cooling Cool Performance!Chilled water should be cold!

24 waterside example Chiller Energy (800 tons) Capacity 800 tons LWT 44 F Power 464 kw LWT 41 F Power 490 kw

25 waterside example System Power (Chilled Water) Low delta T Low flow Chiller 464 kw 490 kw +26 kw CHW pump 52 kw 16 kw -36 kw Total 516 kw 506 kw -10 kw

26 lessons learned Chiller Performance!Chillers should be efficient! Factory witness tested

27 How can we eliminate the 26 kw penalty? Ideal for use with variable primary flow: series chillers

28 variable primary flow systems Three Key Application Requirements: Chillers must be able to accommodate Change of flow of at least 10% per minute 30% or even 50% is even better Minimum and maximum flows Must not be violated! Bypass is required Maintain minimum flow

29 Ideal application for Free Cooling Series Chillers

30 For Air-Cooled Screws: Series air-cooled chillers are more efficient at 41 F LWT than parallel chillers are at 44 F LWT

31 thermal storage ideal for: Low Flow, Low Temp Systems Reduce first cost Lower first cost on air cooled jobs Key is partial ice storage If not lower you likely have too much ice

32 Airside: What is different? Supply air Room setpoint Airside delta T Interior zone SAT Common practice 55 F 75 F 20 F 55 F Low air temp.system F 77 F 32 F F Lowers the required air flow by 30-40%

37 Yeah, but. Cold downdrafts Condensation

38 three keys to Eliminating Cold Downdrafts Parallel fan-powered units on the perimeter Cooling-only boxes on the interior Both with linear slot aspirating diffusers...

39 Linear Slot Diffuser vs. Typical

40 Linear Slot Diffuser vs. Typical

41 Linear Slot Diffuser vs. Typical

42 Linear Slot Diffuser vs. Typical

43 What about Condensation? Cold surfaces must be kept inside the humidity controlled envelope Night set back and morning pull down controlled off of interior dew point sensor Positive building pressure is critical for no condensation and IAQ Install a vapor barrier with reasonable construction Design the P traps and pitch the condensate drains correctly LEED - WEc1.2

44 For more information: This document covers these key points: Provide a good moisture barrier around controlled spaces Put indoor HVAC equipment inside the controlled spaces Actively control the space dew point to manage moisture

52 next generation VAV box control Capabilities That Are Available Today!! Wireless zone sensors Auto-commissioning Auto-calibration

53 Wireless Zone Sensors Reduce installed cost Lower risk Ability to handle churn

54 Auto-Commissioning Do you remember? Retro-commissioning Why not automatically?

55 Auto-Calibration Automatically calibrates the flow transducer, air valve, and hot-water valve Calibration occurs on the transition to unoccupied The calibration can also be scheduled Necessary for 24/7 applications
