THEME: Student

PROGRAM: You Can’t Afford Discomfort

While much has been said about saving energy, little is said of the downside if the savings strategy re-duces occupant productivity. The average salary in any office is 100 times greater than the full cost ofheating and cooling that space. Strategies that add to the first, renovation, or operating cost of a spacehave to be weighed against the potential for reduced productivity when calculating the time to payback.

We aren’t doing a very good job, it seems. BOMA continues to report that the #1 reason for tenants notrenewing the lease is “occupant dissatisfaction with the thermal environment”. ASHRAE Standard 55 de-scribes the conditions that will satisfy a majority of the occupants. It is often referenced in code, andmany LEED projects have been awarded a point for compliance, at the design stage, of course.

In practice however, we find that systems don’t operate at design, or even as designed. We will discussthe issues related to maintaining comfortable conditions at all loads, and discuss the benefits of ventila-tion and economizer operations.

HOST: Daniel Int-Hout

Mr. Dan Int-Hout, Chief Engineer, Krueger, is responsible for the presentation of technical data andadvanced application engineering for the Grilles, Registers and Diffusers, as well as the VAV airterminals, produced by Krueger.

A Winning Hand: ASHRAE 2017Winter Conference, AHR Expo InLas Vegas

ATLANTA – When it comes toopportunities for professionaldevelopment, networking and accessto the latest technology, ASHRAE hasstacked the deck in favor of its 2017Winter Conference and AHR Expotaking place in Las Vegas.

The Conference dates are Jan. 28-Feb. 1 at Caesars Palace with theExpo being held Jan. 30-Feb. 1 at theLas Vegas Convention Center. Thetwo events are expected to drawthousands of industry professionalsfrom around the world, drawing onthe record breaking attendance fromthe 2011 Conference and Expo heldin Las Vegas for the first time.

To register for the Conference, whichincludes free access to the Expo,visit: www.ashrae.org/lasvegas

The Conference offers some 200Professional Development Hoursrecognized by most U.S. states, AIALUs and LEED AP credits throughASHRAE Learning Institute courseand Technical Program sessions.

ASHRAE’s Technical Program raisesthe stakes in addressing thechallenges faced today and in thefuture by industry professionals. Viaeight tracks, the program attemptsto bridge the gap between the designdecisions made today that will impactthe future. New tracks that addresschanges in technology include Water-Energy Nexus, Advances in MissionCritical Design and Operation,Climate Change and Its Effects onHVAC&R Design and Technologies,and Energy Efficiency IndustrialBuildings and Life Safety. The fullprogram will be available later thismonth.

Twenty Professional DevelopmentSeminars and Short courses areoffered by the ASHRAE LearningInstitute. New courses includeCogeneration from the Basicsthrough Construction and Operation,Complying with Standard 90.1-2016,Complying with the Requirements ofStandard 62.1-2016, New ASHRAE-Classified Refrigerants to MeetSociety’s Changing Needs, VariableRefrigerant Flow System Design andApplication, Complying withStandard 90.1-2016 Appendix G, andDesign of Affordable and EfficientGround Source Heat Pumps.

Additionally, ASHRAE is offering twoadministrations of its six certificationprogram exams, including its newBuilding Commissioning Professional(BCxP) certification developed withthe goal of achieving U.S.Department of Energy (DOE)recognition by summer 2017. Theother certifications are the ANSI-accredited Building EnergyAssessment Professional (BEAP),Building Energy ModelingProfessional (BEMP) and High-Performance Building DesignProfessional (HBDP) as well as theHealthcare Facility DesignProfessional (HFDP), and Operations& Performance ManagementProfessional (OPMP).

The keynote speaker at the openingPlenary Session is Adam Steltzner,team lead and chief engineer forNASA’s Mars Rover, Curiosity. For 10years, Steltzner led a team ofengineers inventing, designing andtesting the revolutionary “sky crane”landing system that successfullyplaced the over on the Martiansurface in 2012. Five times heavierthan its predecessors, Curiosityrequired an entirely new landingsystem for the 7-minute phase whenthe one-ton rover—entering Martianatmosphere at 13,000 mph—must

stop fully on the surface. To inspireattendees, Steltzner discusses thepower of human curiosity and theimportance of fostering a culture ofcollaborative innovation.

Data Center Standard PublishedBy ASHRAE

ATLANTA – A newly publishedenergy standard for data centersfeatures a performance basedapproach that is more flexible andaccommodating of innovativechanges that rapidly occur in design,construction and operations in thatindustry.

ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 90.4-2016,Energy Standard for Data Centers,establishes the minimum energyefficiency requirements of datacenters for design and construction,for creation of a plan for operationand maintenance and for utilizationof on-site or off-site renewableenergy resources.

“We worked very hard to craft thisstandard in a manner that does notstifle innovation in the data centerindustry while simultaneouslyoffering criteria to help ensureenergy savings,” Ron Jarnagin, chairof the 90.4 committee, said. “It isimportant to keep in mind that datacenters are mission critical facilitieswhere risk management is theprimary concern.”

Jarnagin noted that high plug loadsand rapidly advancing IT technologymake data center applicationssignificantly different from theircommercial building counterparts.

News Update Committe Chair

Jeff Watson2016-2017 OVC CTTC ChairChorley + Bissett


9Capital Communiqué October 2016

Standard 90.4 specifically addressesthe unique energy requirements ofdata centers.

Standard 90.4 is a performance-based design standard that offers thedesign components for mechanicalload (MLC) and electrical loss (ELC).Calculations of the MLC and ELC aremade and then compared to themaximum allowable values shown inthe standard based on climate zones.Compliance with Standard 90.4 isachieved when the calculated valuesdo not exceed the values containedin the standard. An alternativecompliance path is provided thatallows tradeoffs between the MLCand ELC.

“The committee initially pursued aGreen Grid power use effectiveness-like (PUE) process for setting thecriteria in the standard but the GreenGrid’s PUE metric is actually based onmeasured energy use data ratherthan design criteria calculations,”Jarnagin said. “We realized that the

design calculations contained inStandard 90.4 would not likely matchup with the actual energy use data sothis approach was amended. We feelthat we’ve recommended therequirements for 90.4 based on ajustifiable 80/20 rule where only thelower performing systems will beaffected.”

The Standards Committee, which hasoversight of all ASHRAE standards,will work together with the chairs ofStandard 90.4 and ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1, Energy Standardfor Buildings Except Low-RiseResidential Buildings, to remove datacenters from Standard 90.1.Standard 90.4 already refers users toStandard 90.1 for requirements onlighting, service water heating andthe building envelope.

Other requirements in Standard 90.4include:

• A sample compliance checklist• Diagrams to illustrate compliance

• Sample calculations

Jarnagin noted that industry input isvital as the standard moves forward.The standard now is under acontinuous maintenance process thatallows changes to the standard to bemade on a continuous basis throughthe mechanism of addenda to thestandard. This process will allow forfrequent changes to the standard asneeded to keep pace with the rapidlychanging technologies in theindustry, he said.

The cost of is Standard 90.4-2016,Energy Standard for Data Centers, is$89, ASHRAE members ($105, non-members). To order, visitwww.ashrae.org/bookstore orcontact ASHRAE Customer ContactCenter at 1-800-527-4723 (UnitedStates and Canada) or 404-636-8400 (worldwide) or fax678-539-2129.
