Weather . . . The importance of weather:

It’s why we calibrate models

T.M.Y. isn’t good enough => A.M.Y. (8760 hrs)

Its why we do degree-day correlations & Normalizations. ENERGY STAR adjusts for weather to provide national scoring (1-100)

Record dry bulb temps in summer of 2019

Record summer rainfall and humidity in summer of 2018 leading to mold, mildew and water damage

Winter New England weather fluctuates between mild and harsh so just looking at utility data and operations and ignoring weather won’t give you the entire picture

EMA’s data Logger – zone loggers collected CO2, indoor / outdoor temperatures and light levels for a week in Partners offices. They reveal that baseline minimum ventilation is more than adequate (greater than we need) and that fans run longer than needed (82% of the time), two opportunities for savings that this report addresses in its recommended EEM section. Also, given the concurrent OAT & indoor CO2 levels we can observe a) the fans run when nobody is using the space and secondly, the unit was clearly running on minimum fresh air, yet we can observe that the CO2 levels are never above. 550 ppm, given an ambient CO2 level of 400 ppm, and a met level for office workers of 0.01625 CFM of CO2 generation per person, that yields (10,600) / (550 – 400) = 71 CFM of fresh air per person. Note Sept 21 and 22 is Sat/Sunday.

Newer ECM Strategies1. Turn if OFF, slow it down!

2. Retro-commissioning / Re-commissioning of Controls and ongoing commissioning (data analytics)

3. Reduce minimum VAV TB airflow from 50% of max flow to 20% of max flow, use CO2 as a watchdog to ensure adequate ventilation

4. Well designed CO2 based demand-controlled ventilation strategies

5. Air & Water Source Heat Pump Domestic Hot Water Heaters

6. Zone ultrasonic humidification

7. Lab ACH: 6-12 ACH => 2-4 Fan Wall for 12:1 turndown, with triple ganged VAV TBs in lieu of induction/chilled beam

8. ECM motor swap outs for small hp applications <5 hp

9. Liebert non-compressor direct refrigerant cooling

10. Emerging technology - solar assisted vapor compression

11. Emerging technology - Belimo energy valves for Chilled Water Plants for low delta T syndrome.

12. Emerging technology - drop in refrigerants; waiting on white papers.
