District Cooling for Designers and Owners (MENA)
2019-04-17 08:00 - 17:00 (Asia/Dubai)
This course presents practical guidance contained in two NEW ASHRAE publications: Design Guide for District Cooling, Second Edition and Owner’s Guide for Buildings Served by District Cooling. District cooling systems, when designed and operated properly, can be an energy-efficient alternative to conventional in building chilled water plant adding to an owner’s sustainability portfolio and allowing the building owner to focus on their own business, rather than operating and maintaining a chilled water plant. District cooling systems can provide buildings in a particular area with chilled water for comfort and process cooling with the benefits to the building owner of greatly reduced or eliminated maintenance cost, much lower space requirements, and no concerns as to plant capacity or load growth. This 6-hour course covers what designers and owners need to know about district cooling to enable it to provide energy efficiencies and reliable operation. Topics covered include Planning, Central Plant Design, Distribution Systems, End User Interfaces, Thermal Energy Storage, and Operation and Maintenance from both the designer and owner perspectives. The instructors will take attendees through the guidance provided in these new tools made available from ASHRAE to advance the successful applications and use of district cooling technology.

The 5th edition of the World IEQ Forum 2018
2018-05-03 08:00 - 17:00 (Asia/Dubai)
Given the profound nature of the implications, the IEQ story for 2018 would have to begin in the tranquil shores of the island of Kauai, in Hawaii. In a high-profile move, Tesla, in the first quarter of 2017, deployed a 13MW solar power system, linked to a 13MW/52MWh Powerpack System, which came with the promise of powering up the island during daytime and, according to current estimates, up to 10pm. The project, for the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC), involves the use of approximately 55,000 solar panels and 272 Powerpack units to store the energy generated by the panels. Based on a power-purchase agreement with KIUC, the “solar energy shifting”, utility-scale project will serve over 30,000 customers in the island – Tesla would be selling generated and stored energy at 11 cents per kWh, which according to Tesla would be significantly cheaper than the cost of power that is generated through burning fossil fuels. According to estimates, at full throttle, the project would be instrumental in replacing the use of over two million gallons a year of diesel with clean energy.
A significant implication of the project is its clean nature, which opens very interesting possibilities, indeed. Among them, perhaps an answer to the question, ‘How do we balance the need for greater energy-efficiency with the demand for better indoor air quality?’
In 2016, during the 4th edition of the World IEQ Forum, in Dubai, delegates saw an interesting debate unfold on whether the pursuit of greater energy efficiency was at the cost of indoor air quality. Tighter insulation profiles and fewer fresh air changes, the IAQ camp argued, were putting paid to efforts to ensure healthier buildings. They called for many more fresh air changes than the number prescribed by ASHRAE, say. The counter-argument rode on the premise that fresh air changes would mean more energy usage, which would increase indirect emissions.
When viewed from that context, the Kauai Island project, if successfully scaled up across the globe, would deem the argument based on indirect emissions irrelevant. Clean energy, available round the clock without any disruption – or minimal disruption that is limited to non-peak hours – and, importantly, able to power the critical mass of HVACR equipment, including energy-intensive large-tonnage chillers – would be as close as we would ever get to energy-utopia and healthy air in the built-environment.
The 5th edition of the World IEQ Forum will keep Kauai as the centre-piece to discuss the possibility of a new world order, where IEQ is given the importance it truly deserves among policy-makers, consultants, building owners and equipment manufacturers, among others.

Innovative HVAC Systems for Energy Efficiency

Agenda
6.00 – 6.30 PM Registration

Topic 1 -Innovative HVAC Systems for Energy Efficiency (6.30PM to 7.15PM)
Prsented By – Daniel H. Nall, P.E., Vice President, Syska Hennessy Group
This presentation examines several different innovative approaches to HVAC systems that demonstrate significant improvements compared with conventional systems. These HVAC systems incorporate several first principles strategies to both increase the efficiency of the heating and cooling sources and also to reach desired environmental goals more directly. These principles include:

Improving the efficiency of the heating and cooling source for the building by operating it to provide the highest temperature cooling and lowest temperature heating required to achieve the desired psychrometric outcome.
Using both diurnal and annual storage of heat rejected from the cooling process to reduce make-up heat for heating mode of water source heat pump systems.
Selective application of low temperature cooling to achieve desired space humidity goals with minimized reheat

The projects demonstrating these approaches are of several types, laboratories, healthcare, office and high-rise residential. Strategies for reducing lift for compression refrigeration comfort systems are presented, one strategy utilizing ground-coupling to reduce condensing temperature, and the second approach involves tailoring chilled water temperature to cooling end-use (sensible cooling or dehumidification). Two projects presenting alternate utilization of thermal storage are presented, one using building systems for diurnal storage and the other using ground annual thermal storage to provide make-up heat for heat pump systems. Finally, two airside system approaches to minimizing reheat for dehumidification are presented. The systems are designed for high airflow, humidity controlled spaces that ordinarily rely on reheat to maintain conditions, but the presented configurations significantly reduce the need for reheat.
Learning goals for the presentation. After the presentation, the attendee should be able to:

Understand the importance of first principles analysis to improve the design of HVAC systems that must achieve specific environmental goals.
Analyze systems over daily and annual time periods to identify thermal resources that can reduce energy consumption.
Use psychrometric analysis to identify and validate energy efficiency opportunities related to dehumidification.
Exploit load and ventilation diversity among different occupancy types to achieve more efficient environmental control for mixed-use buildings.

Topic -2 The Opportunity to move from Brazing to Pressing
Be part of the global team leading the transition from brazing to >B< MaxiPro press technology in air conditioning and refrigeration (ACR) applications.

The conversion from brazing/soldering to >B< Press is still growing after 30 years with no sign of slowing down within the plumbing industry.
ACR is about to embark on this transition, which will provide significant opportunities for decades to come.
>B< MaxiPro was invented as an extension of press technology and is capable of handling the higher pressures involved in air conditioning and refrigeration applications.
