SUMMARY:Designing for IAQ: Complying with Requirements of Standard 62.1 (MENA)
DESCRIPTION:This course focuses on the basic requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2016\, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality. The newest version of the standard includes a major change to the scope of the standard by which residential occupancies are moved from ASHRAE Standard 62.1 to 62.2. This course provides an overview of the requirements of the new standard with emphasis on changes from the previous version and practical application of the standard to modern VAV systems. New requirements to the indoor air quality procedure for determining minimum ventilation rates are discussed. In the 2016 version\, changes were made in determining air class for laboratory exhaust systems and the use of sensors for demand control ventilation\, and these changes are discussed as well. The course presents sample calculations for code review and for physical operation.

SUMMARY:The 5th edition of the World IEQ Forum 2018
DESCRIPTION: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. \nA 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?’ \nIn 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. \nWhen 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. \nThe 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.

SUMMARY:Innovative HVAC Systems for Energy Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:Event Sponsor M/s Conex Banninger \nCo Sponsor M/s HIRA Industry & M/s Hisense \nAgenda\n6.00 – 6.30 PM Registration\n6.30 – 7.15 PM Presntation on Topic 1\n7.15 – 8.00 PM Presentation on Topic 2\n8.00 PM onward Dinner and Networking \nTopic 1 -Innovative HVAC Systems for Energy Efficiency     (6.30PM to 7.15PM)\nPrsented By – Daniel H. Nall\, P.E.\, Vice President\, Syska Hennessy Group \nThis 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: \n\nImproving 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.\nUsing 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.\nSelective application of low temperature cooling to achieve desired space humidity goals with minimized reheat\n\nThe 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. \nLearning goals for the presentation.  After the presentation\, the attendee should be able to: \n\nUnderstand the importance of first principles analysis to improve the design of HVAC systems that must achieve specific environmental goals.\nAnalyze systems over daily and annual time periods to identify thermal resources that can reduce energy consumption.\nUse psychrometric analysis to identify and validate energy efficiency opportunities related to dehumidification.\nExploit load and ventilation diversity among different occupancy types to achieve more efficient environmental control for mixed-use buildings.\n\nTopic -2 The Opportunity to move from Brazing to Pressing\nBe part of the global team leading the transition from brazing to >B< MaxiPro press technology in air conditioning and refrigeration (ACR) applications. \n\nThe conversion from brazing/soldering to >B< Press is still growing after 30 years with no sign of slowing down within the plumbing industry.\nACR is about to embark on this transition\, which will provide significant opportunities for decades to come.\n>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.
