With an estimated % of all the electrical energy used in Europe consumed by HVAC systems, the improvement of their efficiency is a key element to reach these targets. When looking at the energy flo in typical European HVAC systems, one can observe important degradation in efficiency associated to heating and cooling energy transportation systems together ith a non-optimal use of the production plant. These inefficiencies are direct consequences of the system design ith, quite often, a lack of consideration of the system part load or its off-design operation.

2 Francois Randaxhe et al. / Energy Procedia ( 0 ) heating and cooling energy transportation and a non-optimal use of the associated production plant, leading to significant reduction of their performance. To date, little research has focused on the optimization of HVAC systems from a building integration perspective. Nomenclature,boiler Water flo rate in the boiler [kg/s],ev Water flo rate in the evaporator [kg/s],ev,n Nominal ater flo rate in the evaporator [kg/s] VFR Volume flo ratio [-] T a,cd,su Condenser supply air temperature [ C] T,boiler,su Boiler supply ater temperature [ C] T,boiler,ex Boiler exhaust ater temperature [ C] Evaporator exhaust ater temperature [ C] T,ev,ex In most European country HVAC system design procedure, the focus is made on satisfying the nominal design conditions for heating and cooling system. The procedure usually starts ith the determination of the internal and external loads, together ith hygienic criteria, to calculate the corresponding sensible and latent heating and cooling demands. The evaluation of these loads is typically defined in EN or national standards/methods. The second step consists in the selection of the type of secondary system to integrate into the building and the calculation of its cooling and heating capacity.). The selection and sizing of the heat sources and heat sinks are then the third and often the last step of the design procedure and is based on available types of energy sources/sinks. The total installed poer of the primary systems comprises the nominal installed poer of the previously selected systems (terminal units and AHU components) and the evaluated nominal heat losses in the supply pipes (often a percentage of usable installed poer ith a typical maximum value of %). In this procedure, the evaluation of the performance of the system operating at part load or in off-design conditions and its optimization are not considered. This paper investigates the influence of such conditions on cooling and heating primary system performance. A sensitivity analysis is performed for an air-condensed chiller and a condensing boiler, to idely used systems in European buildings. The integration of these systems into the buildings is also discussed in the second part of the paper. The difficulties but also the possibilities of global optimization are presented.. Sensitivity analysis of typical European primary HVAC systems.. Heat sink : Air-Condensed Chiller The first part of the study focuses on the sensitivity of the primary HVAC system to part load or off-design operation. As a starting point, a typical European chilled ater production system, the air-cooled liquid chiller, is selected and analyzed using a semi-empirical model[] validated on manufacturer data. The selected chiller is an aircooled scre compressors chiller. Its operating range and the nominal conditions considered for the sensitivity analysis are presented in Table. Table.

3 Francois Randaxhe et al. / Energy Procedia ( 0 ) Fig. presents the sensitivity of the chiller efficiency to T,ev,ex for different T a,cd,su considering PLR = (the load at the evaporator is the nominal load),,ev =,ev,n and T,ev = K (Fig..a), PLR = 0. (the load at the evaporator is 0% of its nominal load),,ev =,ev,n and T,ev = K (Fig..b). It shos the important influence of T,ev,ex on the chiller efficiency ith, for an increase of K of the T,ev,ex, an increase in from.% and.% at PLR= and from.0% and.% at PLR=0.. It means that if an outside temperature of C is considered as example, the chiller can increase from. to. at PLR= by increasing the T,ev,ex from C to C hich ould lead to a % improvement of efficiency of the system. Comparing Fig. a and Fig. b, one can see the chiller performance are decreased at part load conditions (at PLR = 0.). From the chiller point of vie, the introduction of high temperature cooling is clearly beneficial. Hoever, these increase of ater temperature ill have an impact on the sizing of the secondary system leading to an increase of auxiliaries consumption (due to additional pressure drop in the hydraulic system and probably also on the air-side for the AHU). In Fig., the sensitivity of the chiller efficiency to evaporator ater flo rate is presented considering the same conditions as in Fig. but ith ater flo rate equal to 0% of the previously considered nominal ater flo rate. The impact of a reduction of the ater flo rate (leading to an increase of the T beteen supply and exhaust ater temperature in the evaporator), is loer than the impact of T,ev,ex. One can observe an average decrease in of 0.% PLR= and of 0.% at PLR=0.. It is also orth noting that the chilled ater flo rate could be considered as a sensible parameter in the optimization procedure for the cooling system since its impact on the chiller efficiency is lo hile its impact on the system performance can be high ith its direct and indirect influence on the auxiliary s consumption.

C).. Heat source : Gas Condensing Boiler 0 T,ev,ex In non-residential European buildings, one of the most commonly used heat source is still the boiler. A sensitivity analysis of a gas-condensing boiler is presented using a simplified boiler model[] based on manufacturer data. The variables considered for the boiler sensitivity analysis are the boiler supply ater temperature T,boiler,su, the boiler exhaust ater temperature T,boiler,ex, the part load ratio PLR and the volume flo ratio VFR (defined as the ratio beteen the actual ater volume flo rate and the nominal ater volume flo rate in the boiler).the first results are presented in Fig. ith the sensitivity of the condensing boiler efficiency to T,boiler,su for different T,boiler,ex at full
4 Francois Randaxhe et al. / Energy Procedia ( 0 ) load (Fig..a) and at 0% PLR (Fig..b), From Fig., it can be concluded that the loer the return temperature is, the more efficient the boiler is (since more latent heat is recovered in the boiler fumes). The influence of the boiler exhaust ater temperature (usually the setpoint) is also noticeable but ith a much smaller impact. At first, hen analyzing these results for the boiler, one can considered that the optimal point of operation should be chosen to achieve not only the loest boiler supply ater temperature but also the loest boiler ater exhaust temperature. Hoever, in the perspective of the system integration, it is interesting to look into a third direction ith the sensitivity of the condensing boiler efficiency to VFR for different T,boiler,su at full load (Fig..a) and at 0% PLR (Fig..b) T,boiler,ex = 0 C T,boiler,ex = C T,boiler,ex = 0 C T,boiler,ex = C T,boiler,ex = 00 C T,boiler,ex = 0 C T,boiler,ex = C T,boiler,ex = 0 C T,boiler,ex = C T,boiler,ex = 00 C T,boiler,su T,boiler,su Fig..

Sensitivity of the gas condensing boiler efficiency to ater flo rate ratio (ith respect to nominal flo rate) for different exhaust ater temperature setpoint: (a) at PLR =, (b) at PLR = 0. The influence of the ater flo rate on the condensing boiler efficiency is clear. When controlling properly the ater flo rate in the boiler, high efficiency can be achieve regardless of the boiler exhaust ater temperature. Anticipating a bit the rest of the papers, these observations paves the ay for the optimization of the systems ith a trade-off beteen reducing the flo rates (and thus the consumption of the auxiliaries), and reducing the ater temperature decreasing the heat losses in the distribution system and slightly increasing the boiler efficiency.. Whole system simulation and optimization This section presents a first approach to analyze the performance of the hole system hen integrated into a building. It aims to give an overvie of the difficulties but also the possibilities to further optimize a system design and operation. To do so, a reference building, here the cooling and heating loads are knon, is considered. This building is coupled to the primary system investigated in the previous section using a simplified distribution model... Reference building The reference building loads are evaluated based on a reference office building model developed in the frame of IEA EBC Annex project[]. Only a reference floor of this building is actually modeled ith occupied zones ( peripheral zone and one core zone) and according to the commonly used RC-equivalent netork technique []. In this model, the total building loads are obtained by duplicating times the reference floor to obtain a building ith floor.
5 Francois Randaxhe et al. / Energy Procedia ( 0 ).. Model In the first approach, the model is simplified to demonstrate the methodology for system analysis. The schematic given in Fig. shos the model components. The chilled ater and hot ater distribution system are considered as a to circuit (one for the chilled ater and one for hot ater) ith a pressure drop and a pump associated. The circuits are connected to the building hich is just considered as a cooling load and a heating load. The boiler and the chiller are supposed to produce the required heating/cooling energy. Fig.. Schematic diagram of the production and distribution system integrated in the building as modeled in the first approach The pressure drop in the circuits is evaluated in nominal conditions based on a reference building HVAC system also developed in the frame of IEA EBC Annex project[]. It considers the nominal pressure drop of the primary system given in the manufacturer datasheet, the linear pressure drop (considering 00 Pa/m pipe) and the pressure drop in the terminal unit. It gives respectively for the cooling and heating system. kpa (for.kg/s) and.kpa (for.kg/s).as first assumption, the actual pressure drop in the circuit is evaluated as: Δp = Δp M, n M, n The pump consumption is then evaluated based on: Δp pump = M v f η () pump W ith v f the specific volume of the fluid and pump the pump efficiency. The heat losses beteen the pipe and its environment can be ritten as: Q loss ( T, su Tamb ) ( NTU ) ( ) = M c exp ( ) () NTU = UA M c ith T amb, the ambient temperature (considered constant and equal to 0 C) and NTU, the Number of Transfer Units. The overall heat transfer coefficient UA is calculated given as input the pipe dimensions and insulation materials. In this case the value considered are UA c = 0.W/K and UA h =.W/K... Results Based on the observation made in the first section of the paper, different scenarii ere tested for the operation of the systems. Results are presented for the cooling system in Fig. and for the heating system in Fig.. For both simulations, hourly eather data of a typical Frankfurt year are used. For the heating system, the influence of the boiler exhaust ater temperature and the selected ater flo rate are evaluated considering a minimum boiler supply ater temperature of C hile for the cooling system the chiller operating conditions presented in Table are still considered. For the cooling system, the influence of the exhaust ater temperature is significant. Hoever the impact of the ater flo rate is quiet obvious and is consistent ith the line of ork presented in this study. There is a clear trade-off beteen chiller performance and auxiliary s consumption. For the heating system, the observation made in () ()
6 Francois Randaxhe et al. / Energy Procedia ( 0 ) the first section for the boiler alone are quite similar ith ater flo rate having an important impact on the boiler efficiency and then on the hole system consumption. The integration of the heat emitters should also impact the system performance ith additional auxiliary consumption and ith different average emission temperature benefiting to the highest boiler exhaust ater temperature.

Influence of the boiler exhaust ater temperature and the VFR on the primary energy consumption of the hole heating system.. Conclusion From these results, it can be said that for a required cooling or heating load, it exists a combination of ater flo rate and supply temperature that results in a minimum primary energy consumption. As observed, for an air-cooled chiller, it is beneficial to supply the required cooling load ith the highest ater temperature possible. In the gascondensing boiler, its supply ater temperature is clearly the most influent parameter. The influence of its exhaust ater temperature is not as important. The use of lo temperature heating supplied by a gas condensing boiler is than questionable if an optimal ater flo rate control is available. From the system integration point of vie, it is then clear that the optimal operating conditions of the hole system can be different from the optimal primary system operating conditions. Both design and operation of the system should consider those influences and take into consideration the trade-off beteen primary system performance, auxiliaries consumption and secondary system efficiency. Hoever, to practically achieve an optimal design and operation of a system, it is essential to develop a methodology based on clear models for each component of the system and capable of representing their performance sensitivity to fluid temperature, flo rate and part load.
