DEC The Trane chiller does not meet the specification in regards to refrigerant and thus the sustitution request is denied. The example of energy savings provided is not accurate as the chillers will not be operating at full load for 2000 hours per year. This is very misleading information. A better analysis would be to use the NPLV of each chiller and the manufacturer should be aware of this. The District's facilities department, program manager, and engineering group decided on the refrigerant early in the design process and selected a refrigerant, R134, the basis of which was outlined in the schematic design phase based upon an Ozone Depleting Potential of ZERO, and the lack of current regulations phasing out the Trane chiller's refrigerant, R123, production by /15/ /22/ Temp Controls UMEC 1) Per M1.7 & Sequence of Operation: Building 620 requires replacing valves, determining valve position, installing new Differential Pressure Sensor, updating programming, etc. Question A) What brand and version or type of existing DDC controllers are currently installed on these existing Air Handlers AHU1, 2, &3?
