Wilmington, DE
Shotgun start will be at 12:30 pm.
Online registration and full outing
details to follow.
Our March trade show went well with a great turnout. Thanks to everyone who attended!
To encourage more interaction between the engineers and vendors we did the raffle a
little differently this year. The vendors gave each engineer a raffle ticket for stopping at
their table and asking about their products. It wasn’t surprising that the Galaxy tablet
winner had spoken with many of the vendors! It looked like he had around 30 raffle
tickets to check when we were reading off the raffle winner number!
This month there are a lot of ASHRAE activities planned! On Thursday, April 14th, we
are privileged to have Jim Newman, an ASHRAE distinguished lecturer, give an
afternoon technical session and speak at our April dinner meeting that evening. Jim is
active in several ASHRAE technical committees as well as other organizations such as
US Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Energy and Environmental Committee
and Sustainability Committee of BOMA. Come out and bring your colleagues from
USGBC, BOMA and AIA! See page 1, page 4, and page 5 for more details.
On Thursday, April 21st, ASHRAE will be having a webcast – “Making New Zero Net
Positive: Solving the Efficiency & Cost Paradox”. There will be several presenters
including ASHRAE’s current president David Underwood. The webcast can be viewed
independently or at Northampton County Community College where the Lehigh Valley
ASHRAE chapter is hosting the webcast. Please see page 10 for more information.
Finally, on Thursday, April 28th, we will be having a tour of the Wm J. Donavan Sheet
Metal Facility (http://wmjdonovan.com). The tour will start at 4pm and will include pizza.
Registration information will be sent shortly via a Star Chapter invite.
Have a great April! Hope to see you at some or all of the ASHRAE events this month!

April Meeting Summaries
Thursday, April 14, 2016
Technical Seminar Summary
This presentation will increase the awareness level of how the heating and air conditioning system, as well as people
and processes, contribute to space contamination. It will also show how proper design and operating and maintenance
procedures can minimize IAQ problems while conserving energy, improving morale and contributing to higher
productivity.
The costs of energy, operating and maintenance and personnel will be compared. Problems caused by improper or
inadequate system maintenance, and changes to the original design of the system or building will be addressed.
Defensive strategies to minimize potential legal liability when faced with an IAQ complaint will also be discussed.
Presentation Summary
Learn how to better coordinate with other design professionals, and with owners and their teams to surpass ASHRAE
Standards and design building systems with a higher indoor environmental quality (IEQ). This will not only help to
conserve energy but will enhance the health, well-being and productivity of the building occupants, while saving money
for building owners in the long run.
Presentation is AIA & GBCI Certified:
AIA Approved | 1.5 LU/HSW | NEWMAN01
GBCI Approved | 1.5 CE Hours | 0090010516
Learning Objectives:
Identify how to coordinate better with other disciplines, as well as with owners and their teams
Recognize good design trade-offs between the building envelope and the mechanical/electrical systems
Understand why people don’t want to change (especially building engineers) – and how to help them “play well
with others”
Discover new resources that will help develop your expertise in sustainable design
Learn how to apply ASHRAE Standards to help achieve sustainability goals
Find out what’s happening to building industry codes in North America – and how buildings around the world are
changing to meet and surpass codes
Grassroots Government Advocacy Committee Announcements
Please remember government advocacy is a grassroots committee.
You as members need to take action to shape your industry / career.
The State of New Jersey just adopted their new State building codes. Below is a link to a list of their codes.
http://www.nj.gov/dca/divisions/codes/codreg/
Also, the Committee is looking for buildings that have earned a rating in the ASHRAE Building Energy Quotient (bEQ)
Building Energy Labeling Program. If anyone is currently utilizing, or plans to utilize, this program to evaluate a
building’s potential energy, please contact Edward Decker ([email protected]).

Energy Recovery Technologies
Energy recovery is a common solution to provide comfort ventilation for commercial and institutional applications. Due to
the large variety of technologies, there is a need to differentiate the advantages of each. Three of the most common
technologies in the energy recovery market are:
1. Total Energy Wheel
2. Total Energy Core
3. Sensible Aluminum Plate
Although ASHRAE 90.1 drives when energy recovery should be applied, understanding the composition, design and
total efficiency of these technologies can add to an educated decision on which technology will be the best for an
application.
Total Energy Wheel
Construction and Performance
Total energy wheels are the most efficient energy recovery device currently available in the market, with the capability to
transfer both sensible and latent energy. Wheel technologies have a total effectiveness up to 80 percent when the
supply and exhaust airflows are balanced. There are two predominate types of total energy wheel media: aluminum
wheels and polymer wheels. Both of these wheels have the capability of transferring latent energy by applying a
desiccant to the wheel, but the application of the desiccant significantly varies between the two types of wheel. Although
desiccants can be applied in different ways to the wheel media, the aluminum wheel most commonly uses a molecular
sieve desiccant that is sprayed onto the surface of the wheel, whereas a polymer wheel uses a silica gel desiccant that
is embedded into the polymer material by a solvent. By embedding the desiccant into the polymer material, the desiccant
has roots in the material as indicated in Figure 1.
Due to these roots, the desiccant embedded into the polymer material will not wear over time and the unit will continue to
perform with an 80 percent total effectiveness. Unlike the desiccant on the polymer wheel, the sprayed-on molecular
sieve on the aluminum wheel tends to wear and flake off over time, which has the potential to decrease the latent energy
transfer of the aluminum wheel. As a result, the polymer wheel has a longer latent energy lifespan compared to that of
the aluminum wheel.
Maintenance
The polymer energy wheel is composed of pie-shaped wheel segments as indicated in Figure 2, while the aluminum
wheel is designed as one solid wheel. A segmented wheel is beneficial because each segment can be removed and
physically washed. Polymer wheel manufacturers recommend washing the polymer wheel every two years to remove
any particles or oils that may have accumulated on the wheel. However, because the wheel is constantly rotating, it is
always being cleaned by the counter-flowing air streams. Because all of the energy transfer occurs in the vapor stage,
the wheel is always dry. Thus, if particles deposit on the surface
of the wheel, they will be displaced when the wheel rotates (click here to read the entire article)
