2.0 GENERAL The mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems shall be installed and or augment the base building systems to meet requirements of local and national codes and regulations as well as sound engineering practices, including but not limited to: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ASHRAE 90.1-2013 ASHRAE Standard 62.1 ASHRAE Standard 55 ASHRAE Standard 9.9 IT temps 2015 International Building Code 2015 International Mechanical Code 2015 International Energy Conservation Code 2015 International Fuel Gas Code 2015 International Fire Code State and local amendments to the International Codes Standard for Emergency and Standby Power Systems, NFPA 110, 2009 Edition National Fire Alarm Code NFPA 72, 2009 Edition Life Safety Code NFPA 101, 2009 Edition National Electrical Code NFPA 70, 2017 Edition Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators ASME A17.1, 2007 Edition Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) and applicable RP and DG publications Underwriters Laboratories, Inc (UL) LEED version 4 LEED Reference Guide for Green Building Design and Construction 2009 Edition Colorado Department of Health Rules and Regulations Governing Schools in the State of Colorado Colorado Department of Education, Capital Construction Guidelines Colorado B.E.S.T. Grant Program Rules and Resolutions 6 BranchPattern.com

3.0 MECHANICAL SYSTEMS 3.1 - PRIMARY DESIGN ASSUMPTIONS Climactic Design Conditions: ASHRAE 0.4% cooling and 99.6% heating design conditions for Colorado Springs, Colorado (nearest ASHRAE Weather Station to Canon City). Site elevation is 6181 feet above sea level. Summer Winter 90.9 F DB / 58.7 F WB 1.4 F Below are two graphics that indicate outdoor thermal temperatures. The chart on the left shows the months where outdoor air temperatures are comfortable. Green is comfortable, red is a hot stress, and blue is a cold stress. The inner ring is night time temperatures and the outer is daytime temperatures. The graphic on the right shows the number of hours the Canon City climate spends in each temperature range. Space Environmental Requirements: ASHRAE Standard 55 is used for selecting set points for occupied spaces. ASHRAE Standard 9.97 is used for selecting set points for IT closets and server rooms. Humidity is not controlled in the facility, including IT closets and server rooms, and indoor relative humidity will track ambient humidity levels. Summer Setpoint ( F) Winter Setpoint ( F) Occupied Set Point 75 72 Unoccupied Set Point 85 62 Kitchen Occupied Set Point 80 72 IT Closet 85 95 Server Rooms 75 75 Mechanical and Electrical Space 105 60 7 BranchPattern.com

Space Use (to be populated during DD) The total building area is 44,273 S.F. There are classrooms The gymnasium is S.F. The office space is S.F. The library is S.F. The cafeteria is S.F. The kitchen is S.F. 3.2 -REDUNDANCY Heat pumps and energy recovery ventilators are not redundant. Failure of any one will result in loss of HVAC to the spaces it serves. The fluid-cooler and its associated pump and heat exchanger are also single points of failure. Failure of any one will result in loss of cooling to the building. There are 2 boilers, each sized for 66% of the heating load. Many of the heating season operating hours can be met with a boiler sized at 66% of the load. This reduces equipment cost and allows the boilers to operate more efficiently because smaller equipment better matches the load for most of the heating season. There are 2 heat pump water pumps. Each pump is sized for 100% flow and operating lead/lag. The lag pump is redundant and will start if the lead pump fails. Airside equipment such as rooftop units and energy recovery ventilators are not redundant. A loss of an RTU serving a single zone or VAV system will result in a loss of heating and cooling to those zones. A loss of an ERV will result in a loss of ventilation to the spaces served. 3.3 DIVERSITY Sum of peak occupancy is people. Actual expected occupancy is people, which results in a % diversity. (TBD during Design Development phase) Space Zoning Each classroom will be a dedicated zone. Hallways will be served from adjacent spaces. Conference rooms holding more than 15 people will be a dedicated zone. Conference rooms smaller than this will be served from adjacent spaces. Office spaces will be limited to 700 S.F. per zone, which will place up to 6 offices in a zone. Zones will be configured to group spaces with similar occupancies and exposures. The cafeteria, gymnasiums, locker rooms, and large public restrooms will each be dedicated zones. Individual restrooms on exterior walls will be provided with heating only. IT closets, server rooms, and elevator equipment rooms will be separately zoned and have dedicated HVAC systems. Mechanical and electrical spaces will be dedicated zones with heating and ventilation fans. 8 BranchPattern.com

Separate systems capable of independent occupancy schedules will be provide for the classrooms, offices, gymnasium and cafeteria. The classrooms and office spaces will be occupied 8 hours/day, 5 days/week, 36 weeks/ year. The Cafeteria and multi-use/study area can operate nights and weekends in occupied mode as required for sporting events. 3.6 - NARRATIVES The target of this project is to provide energy savings above the baseline system to allow for up to 15 LEED points. With LEED Gold goal, the number of points to target is 18 points. The baseline system to 9 BranchPattern.com

compare against in the energy analysis, is a Variable Air Volume (VAV) system with hot water reheat and direct expansion (DX) cooling. In order to achieve 18 points, the energy savings of the entire building compared to the baseline must be 50% savings. The three systems presented as viable options to achieve savings over the baseline are: 1) VAV Hot Water Reheat with Chilled Water Cooling (Chiller/Cooling Tower System). 2) Water Source Heat Pumps with Geoexchange Field and Condensing Boilers and Cooling Towers. 3) Radiant Heating and Cooling Slab with Displacement Ventilation and Condensing Boilers and Cooling Towers.

System Baseline For reference only (Do not include in pricing exercise). 12 BranchPattern.com

Option 1: VAV Reheat with Boilers All options include a condensing boiler plant with variable speed building pumping distributing hot water to terminal devices. Pumps are sized for 100% of flow and operate in a lead/standby configuration. Pumps are controlled with a differential pressure sensor. In option 1, the hot water serves VAV reheat coils, unit heaters, and cabinet unit heaters. Each zone of control includes a VAV reheat box with an air damper and reheat coil. Rooftop Units with DX cooling and gas-fired heat provide tempered primary air in a supply duct to the VAV boxes. 13 BranchPattern.com

Option 2: Water Source Heat Pump with ERV, Fluid Cooler, and Boilers This option includes a condensing gas boiler plant that provides heating energy to a central heat pump water loop. Boiler capacity is estimated at 1500 mbh each (2) @ 66% of capacity. The heat pump water loop serves condenser water to the building heat pumps and modulates to maintain a differential pressure setpoint. Including a geoexchange system to utilize the constant temperature of the earth below grade will be considered as an alternative within this system type. This would allow the fluid cooler to be deleted and utilize a backup boiler. The ground loop would utilize its own set of pumps to circulate water through the geothermal piping and circuits. An ERV designed to be ducted into the return air ductwork of the zone level water source heat pumps (WSHP) will be sized for the calculated ventilation requirement. It will be a variable speed DOAS system that varies flow based on a static pressure sensor. Zone level VAV boxes will modulate ventilation air flow as a result of CO2 sensors located in the zones. 14 BranchPattern.com

Option 3: Radiantly heated and cooled slab with ERV, Air-Cooled Chiller, and Boilers This option provides heating and cooling through radiant tubing installed in the concrete slab. Each zone of control includes a radiant manifold header with 3-way control valves on the chilled and hot water piping routed to each zone. Each zone can change over from heating to cooling and each system includes a balancing valve for setting of the chilled and hot water flow rates. There is an air-cooled chiller sized for the building cooling capacity located on grade adjacent to the mechanical room. Two primary chilled water pumps are sized redundantly for 100% of flow of the chiller. This option includes a condensing gas boiler plant similar to option 1 with building distribution pumps. An ERV designed to be directly ducted into displacement ventilation diffusers will be sized for the calculated ventilation requirement. It will be a variable speed DOAS system that varies flow based on a static pressure sensor. Zone level VAV boxes will modulate ventilation air flow as a result of CO2 sensors located in the zones. Displacement ventilation provides an opportunity for a reduction of required ventilation air and size of ERV based on the improved efficiency with which ventilation air is delivered to the space. 3.7 - SYSTEM SIZING CRITERIA HVAC systems are designed for current building area. No extra capacity is provided in central equipment or primary distribution systems to accommodate future expansion. A 10% safety factor is applied to all system selections. 15 BranchPattern.com

The cooling source for a DOAS system ducted into the return air ducts for a water source heat pump system will be indirect evaporative media in lieu of dx cooling. Plenum return will be used to get relief air back to the ERVs. Ducted exhaust will be used between the ERVs and janitor s closets, restrooms, locker rooms, copy rooms or other spaces requiring exhaust. Sensible only heat wheels with VFD driven motors will recover energy. Per LEED for school requirements the ERVs will have MERV 13 filters. Equipment : Annexair Central Hydronic Plant The heat pump water central plant has two variable volume pumps that circulate water through the building. Branch piping in the central plant allows for heat to be added or rejected from the heat pump water loop as required to maintain the loop supply set point. Condensing boilers with dedicated pumps connect in a side-stream configuration to the main heat pump water supply header. A plate and frame heat exchanger couples the closed-circuit cooling tower to the heat pump supply water header. A pump on the tower side of the heat exchanger circulates 40% propylene glycol through the closed-circuit cooling tower. A 3- way valve across the heat pump loop side of the heat exchanger allows the system to bypass the heat exchanger when heat rejection is not required. Equipment Boilers: Lochinvar Crest. Pumps: Bell & Gossett Series 1510 base-mounted pumps Heat Exchanger: Alfa-Laval SS plate and frame heat exchanger Closed Circuit Cooling Tower: BAC. Air Handling Units The gymnasium and cafeteria will be served by dedicated rooftop units. The units will have variable airflow, economizer, and CO2 demand control ventilation.
