2 Green Building Codes Progress Toward Sustainability Illinois Energy Conservation Code for Commercial Buildings became effective 2006 Energy Efficiency Building Act New Code incorporates IECC References ASHE State requires new versions of IECC to be adopted within 1 year IECC updated in References ASHE Who s involved: AIA, ASTM, ASHE, USGBC, IES Information is drawn from the U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE) Building Energy Codes Program and the Building Codes Assistance Project (BP) page 5 page 6 SSPC 90.1 Energy Efficient Design of Commercial Buildings Target: New Buildings 2010 Edition, due January % more energy efficient than 2004 edition Over 100 Approved Addendums Controls mentioned 67 times 2013 Edition, the Challenge 50% more energy efficient than 2004 edition. SSPC 100 Energy Efficient Existing Buildings Target: Existing Buildings [Under Development] Purpose: Energy efficient exiting buildings Provide procedures and programs towards energy efficient operation, maintenance, management and monitoring; Increase energy efficiency of energy-using systems and components; and Upgrading thermal performance of the building envelope. page 7 page 8/23 2

3 STANDARD YS Equipment Efficiency Ratings changed from SEER to IEER - Recognizes part load performance - Covers a variety of terminal units Heat pumps Fan Coils VRF Rooftops -Decoupled cooling components - Packaged cooling terminal units VRF and HPs - More points to monitor - More smart terminal units = more integration and less single source controls - Less pure systems - AHUs driven by Vent loads not design cooling loads All AC equipment with water cooled condensers must have a control valve that can stop the flow when cooling is not needed (C ) More Control Valves Coordinate pumps with 0% call for cooling Promotes variable pumping systems with controls Part load efficiency means part load sensing + part load outputs which means smarter controls. page 9 page 10 STANDARD YS Added Water-to-Water HPs Machine efficiency requirement determined by heat rejection method Added VRF Systems Recognizes condenser heat recovery methods -More options for engineers to reject heat - More options to move away from pure systems - More options for using water source heat rejection - More options for synergy between heating and cooling Fan speed reduction required on small packaged AHUs - Tons >9.2 at loads less than 50% - 2 speed or variable fan speed More complex packaged units More smart rooftops integration to BAS is good practice If serving a DCV zone, then more control loops and variable vent page 11 page 12 3

4 Fan speed reduction required on CHW AHUs - fan motor > 5 hp - 2 speed or variable fan speed Zone 4a and 5a Energy Recovery Ventilation Requirements Table Exhaust Air Energy recovery Requirements Fan speed controls Variable ventilation positions Compensation for building pressure balancing Discharge temperature sensors If DCV zones, then I monitoring required More controls points on smaller systems Was 15 hp in % Outdoor Air at Full Design Airflow Rate Climate Zone 30-40% 40-50% 50-60% 60-70% 70-80% > 80% Design Supply Fan Airflow Rate (cfm) 3bc,4bc,5, b NR NR NR NR b,2b,5c NR NR b a-6a >0 7, >0 >0 >0 >0 page 13 page 14 More control points Coordinate with Economizer Bypass for economizer means motorized isolation dampers Exceptions for labs, warehouses, solar heat, distributed exhaust VFDs on unitary water pumps p > 5 hp VFDs on all other system water pumps > 10hp (Down from 50hp) -VFDs on almost all pumps - More points to monitor - Sensor to control pump - More control loops - More communication points page 15 page 16 4

5 Chiller Part Load Efficiency metric to meet (Addendum M) Chiller Part Loads Part II - 80% of chiller operation spent at less than 50% load - Sequencing chiller more complex - Whole system optimization should take into account system loads, pump speeds, tower approach, etc. - Chiller efficiency taken before compressor VFD means less attractive to put VFD on compressor Water distribution improvements: Flatten system flow curve for more better turn down Better matching of control valves to coils to raise coil T More modulating control valves to reduce spikes Temperature reset strategies to keep coils in sweet spots Flow modulation to keep T high More variable primary flow systems page 17 page 18 Data STANDARD Center Additions YS Adds CC units to scope of standard (Addendum Aq) Adds efficiency requirements for computer rooms (Addendum Bu) New requirements when using water and air side economizers Data Center Exceptions Lists exceptions for economizers Data Center modeling is not available in 90.1 Alternative to modeling is power usage effectiveness (PUE) Significant additions to come in future additions to the standard. page 19 page 20 5

6 Water side Water side Requires service water booster pumps p to be controls by VFDs -Eliminates PRVs on domestic water - Adds VFDs, sensors, control loops - More points to monitor - More critical alarms Packaged racks of pumps with controls are common solution. Opportunity for integration to BAS for single source operation. page 21 Isolation valves on systems with multiple chillers or boilers Reduces bypass mixing inefficiencies Improves coil efficiencies Reduces pumping energy Isolation valves added to water loops Need to interlock to equipment Need safety to make sure equipment is not run with no flow Need safety to pumps to make sure not deadheaded Valve sizing more critical Pressure independent valves less attractive page 22 Water side Water side Pump pressure optimization Variable speed pumping over 10hp Pressure sensors to maintain pressure at extreme locations Poll valves to adjust pressure setpoint such that 1 valve is near 100% open Requires a BAS system Temperature Control Reset above 300,000 BTU/h (C ) Effect on Co ontrols Hot water systems traditional resets Effect on Co ontrols Chiller systems look at zone or return loads Require BAS control Tight constraints Move slow page 23 page 24 6

7 Economizers required for systems > 33,000 BTU/h (3 tons) (C ) More strict than 90.1 Motorized and Low Leakage Dampers at outdoor barriers (C402452) (C ) Must be sequenced with the mechanical cooling, not mixed air Must be sized to match max design supply airflow May be needed for zone heat pumps bolt on strategy Water coil economizers can be substituted Exceptions including heat recovery Must operate with ventilation schedules Includes stairways and shafts (fail open) 4 cfm/ft 2 at10inwg 1.0 in.wg Exception for 1 and 2 story buildings and less than 300 cfm page 25 page 26 STANDARD YS required on more special applications: Hospital applications Labs Requires more heat recovery Removed blanket exception for labs and pressurization Many details covered by other standards. Effects on Controls Significantly increases complexity of lab controls Requires hoods Requires pressurization controls Requires MUA units page 27 Effect on Controls Supply Air Temperature Reset Multizone shall automatically raise the supply air temperature when the s served are not at peak loads Infers BAS that can monitor zone statuses as input to the setpoint control Goal is to decrease cooling load, reduce reheat, increase economizer usage Tight constraints - setpoints between 50 and 60F Suspended for dehumidify control page 28 7

For every decision, ask What is impact on energy. 2. Embrace resetting strategies like population counting and setpoint optimizations 3. Automate system reactions to leave operators to handle only exceptions or problems. 4. Use Energy Management Software for info use Automation for control. page 43 page 44 11
