2 Presentation Overview Guideline 36 is 176 pages. We will not cover EVERYTHING! GL 36 advocates for: Using technology, experience and science, even if it results in complexity, to reduce energy use. Using Closed Loop Controls Using the variable you are trying to control to inform your control system. Identifying potential problems before they become alarms.

94 Guideline 36 vs Status Quo SAT Control Status Quo 1) Supply air temperature will be reset proportionally based on the outside air temperature per the following schedule: OAT SAT

95 Guideline 36 vs Status Quo SAT Control GL 36 Importance Multiplier Example 1) Supply air temperature will be reset using a weighted heating and cooling request and response. A PID will handle the response portion to the summed heating and cooling requests where: 1) Heating and cooling requests cancel each other out. 2) The heating/cooling request value is calculated as the difference between room and overage of the current heating or cooling set point as seen in Figure 3 - Heating Cooling Request Graph (Zone level Logic). A pseudo logical block diagram of this can be found in ATC ) The request value is multiplied by the design CFM of the box. This multiplication is called an importance multiplier and will be referenced in other sequences. 4) The result of the multiplied value is then summed with all the other requests from all the other s. 5) The result of that summation is then divided by the discharge total CFM provided by the AHU. 6) The result of the division is then used as the input of a PID with a fixed set point of zero. This result may be multiplied by 10 or 100 if required by the specific PID being used. The PID shall be configured in such a way that the loop will output 50% when its input is equal to set point (or PID Bias will equal 50%). 7) The result of the PID is then used as the input of a linear reset. This reset shall use the PIDs output range (0-100) to reset the supply air temperature set point between SAT-min and SAT-max. 8) The calculated supply air temperature set point shall be able to be overridden at the user interface.

102 Importance Multiplier Quick Review GL 36 uses an integer importance multiplier. Requires user / designer input Allows for future modification Can default to 1 for all zones at turnover We suggest including the zone design CFM.

114 Network Traffic Guideline 36 is a collection of sequences, and doesn t give much guidance in terms of the controls network All these new sequences create more dependency on a fully networked control system Therefore, it s important to discuss the network architecture when talking about implementing the guideline.

133 Network Architecture Quick Review GL 36 sequences require more network traffic that usual ASHRAE GL 13 architecture limits failure impact Easy to implement, requires planning Collaborate with your implementer (this may be new to them). Yes Traffic is increased, however, not beyond the capacity of a modern day control system using a industry standard open communications protocol.
