1 Optimizing Indoor Environments for Occupant Satisfaction Presented by: Kelli Goldstone April 2016
2 Outline Function of HVAC Thermal Comfort Air Distribution Radiant Heating / Cooling Case Study
3 Function of HVAC
4 Function of HVAC What is the function of an air distribution system? A major function of an air distribution system is to provide thermal comfort to building occupants.
5 Thermal Comfort Definition Statistics Factors Methods
6 Thermal Comfort Definition ASHRAE Standard 55 condition of the mind which expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment Occupant defines thermally comfortable Physiological & Psychological States Mood Experiences
7 Thermal Comfort Definition Can we make 100% of a building occupants comfortable? Why, or why not?
8 Statistics Goal 80% Occupant Satisfaction Thermal Comfort is easy to define, hard to obtain 11% Air Quality and Thermal Comfort in Office Buildings: Results of a Large Indoor Environmental Quality Survey Proceedings of Healthy Buildings 2006, Hiuzenga, et al., Lisbon, Vol. III,
9 Statistics Goal 80% Occupant Satisfaction Indoor Air Quality 26% Air Quality and Thermal Comfort in Office Buildings: Results of a Large Indoor Environmental Quality Survey Proceedings of Healthy Buildings 2006, Hiuzenga, et al.,lisbon, Vol. III,
10 Thermal Comfort Factors Goal is 80% Acceptance How do we obtain thermal comfort? For given values of humidity, air speed, metabolic rate, and clothing insulation, a comfort zone can be determined. We define the comfort zone in terms of a range of operative temperatures (combination of air temperature and mean radiant temperature) that will provide an acceptable thermal environment.
11 Thermal Comfort Factors Occupant Characteristics Metabolic Rate Clothing Air Temp Radiant Temp Air Speed Humidity Thermal Environment Conditions
12 Thermal Comfort Factors Heat Balance Heat gain or loss can occur through: Conduction transfer from body to air Convection transfer by air motion relative to body Radiation transfer by direct exchange Evaporation sweat Warm Just Right? Cold
13 Thermal Comfort Factors Metabolic Rate(s) May vary by occupant based on occupant activities Restaurant: Diner (1 met) & Server (2 met) Use data in Table for most comparable activity Activity (subset ) Met W/m 2 Btu/h ft 2 Seated, writing Standing, filing Walking on level surface, 2 mph Machine work Calisthenics, exercise Dancing, social Met 108W 353 Btu/h based on Average Adult surface area 1.8 m 2 (19.6ft 2 )
14 Thermal Comfort Factors Clothing (Insulation) Tables A & B clo Clothing Description (Typical Ensembles) 0.57 Trousers, short-sleeve shirt 1.01 Trousers, Long-sleeve sweater, T-shirt 0.54 Knee-length skirt, short-sleeve shirt (sandals) 1.04 Knee-length skirt, long-sleeve shirt, half slip, suit jacket clo: Unit of thermal insulation 1 clo= m 2 C /W = 0.88 ft 2 h F/Btu
15 Thermal Comfort Factors Factors for Graphical and Analytic Methods Operative temperature, : based on average air temperature, t a and mean radiant temperature, Case 1: can be used in place of when: 1. No radiant, and/or radiant heating/cooling system 2. Window Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) < 0.48 Case 2: t a t r A is based on relative air velocity, t o to Ata 1 A tr v 40 fpm; A 0.5 t o r 40 v 120 fpm; A 0.6 r 120 v 200 fpm; A 0.7 r
16 Thermal Comfort Factors Factors for Graphical and Analytic Methods Operative temperature, : based on average air temperature, t and mean radiant temperature, Case 3: Occupants with 1.0<met<1.3 No direct sunlight Average air speed < 40fpm t r t a a 7 F t o t r t o t a 2 t r
17 Graphical Method Graphical Methods Metabolic (MET) rates between 1.0 and 1.3 Clothing Insulation (CLO) between Air speed < 40fpm
18 Analytical Method Analytical Method Metabolic rates between 1.0 and 2.0 Compliance is defined as: -0.5 < PMV < +0.5 PMV -> Predicted Mean Vote Average occupant thermal sensation Uses assumptions at to clothing and activity levels Related to PPD (Percent People Dissatisfied)
19 Analytical Method Analytical Method PPD is an empirical profit fit of Thermal SENsation Surveys (TSENS) A PMV of ±0.5 is equivalent to PPD of 10% (Based on TSENS Data) Due to localized discomfort, an additional 10% PPD is expected PMV of ±0.5 is equivalent to PPD of 20% (local discomfort impact)

21 Thermal Comfort Factors Analytical Method Comfort Zone Methods How to select diffusers to achieve <40fpm Use displacement system Use underfloor system Use diffuser mapping to select overhead diffusers
22 Thermal Comfort Factors Designing for Velocities >40fpm Standard Effective Temperature (SET) Temperature of an imaginary environment at: 50%rh, ta <20 fpm, tr ta Total heat loss from skin of imaginary occupant with 1.0 met and 0.6 clo is the same as that from a person in the actual environment, with actual clothing and activity level SET is used to evaluate all cases of comfort with local air velocity above 40 fpm
23 Thermal Comfort Factors Designing for velocities >40fpm Standard Effective Temperature (SET) Figure B
24 Thermal Comfort Factors Acceptable ranges of operative temperatures and average air speed for the 1.0 and 0.5 clo comfort zone, humidity ratio 0.010

30 Naturally Ventilated Spaces (Adaptive Model) There is no mechanical cooling system (e.g., refrigerated air conditioning, radiant cooling, or desiccant cooling) installed. No heating system is in operation. Representative occupants have metabolic rates ranging from 1.0 to 1.3 met. Representative occupants are free to adapt their clothing to the indoor and/or outdoor thermal conditions within a range at least as wide as 0.5 to 1.0 clo. The prevailing mean outdoor temperature is greater than 10 C (50 F) and less than 33.5 C (92.3 F).

48 Comfort Metrics Draft, vertical stratification, ADPI ASHRAE Standard 55 Thermal Environmental Conditions for Human Occupancy Air Speed average air speed at three heights over 1-3 minutes Draft limit below 72.5 F the air speed limit is 30 ft/min Air speed limit above 72.5 F & no occupant control, 160 ft/min Vertical temperature limit 5.4 F from head to ankle ADPI Air Diffusion Performance Index. Measure of mixing. Well mixed ADPI > 80% ensures ASHRAE 55 vertical air temperature limit per ASHRAE Fundamentals Ch. 20
49 Air Diffusion Results Summary Diffusers Flush with Ceiling (PDF, PDN, SDB, SPD) % ADPI regardless of flow or temperature Lower air speeds at lower flow Average air speed below ASHRAE 55 draft limit Lower air speed at 65 F discharge temp compared to 55 F No Ceiling (RCD, 520 grille) % ADPI at 65 F Lower air speeds at low flow Average air speed below ASHRAE 55 still air limit Sidewalls can dump at 55 F and low flow
50 VAV minimum reduction conclusions Counter to the original hypothesis, comfort improves rather than gets worse Explanation for summer over-cooling Dumping & draft do not occur at low flow Ventilation is maintained Energy savings is significant and similar to simulation predictions Significant retrofit opportunity for existing building with DDC controls. Less than 1 year payback.

51 Conclusion ASHRAE Standard is code intended Thermal Comfort is subjective Thermal Comfort Factors need to be part of your design Overhead mixing does not equal draft generation
