Program Requirements

Better definition of Program elements, such as economizer change-over settings, system airflow measure and documentation requirements

Market Transformation

More training, streamlined protocols and better tools are needed for cost effective application of energy efficiency measures

Missed Opportunities More aggressive thermostat adjustments, fan scheduling, economizer change-over settings and follow-up with the end-use consumers

Page 28: PNW Rooftop Unit Working Group - RTUG – Rooftop Unit Research Project Phase 4 May 26, 2010

RTU Service Protocol – 1/19/10

• Economizer recommissioning: C7650 sensor & snap disk changeouts, 2-stage t-stat, actuator circuit-dampers, controls as needed; changeover temp recommended @ 68°F [track problems]

• Option: add economizer for 3-4-5 ton units [ETO ≤ 7yr newer]• Temperature split screening for charge check. Check if split is over

30deg.• Agnostic on refrigeration charge diagnostic approach/tools• Airflow! Legal/contractor issue, not a program issue? ASH 62!

seasonal? Don’t need prog spec. Discuss with RTF? Document as found condition. Inform contractors on Best Practice.

• Condenser coil cleaning #1; evap #2 wet or dry, brush/water preferred.

• Scheduling/fans where feasible• Filter - visible inspection• DCV?

Premium Ventilation:Significant RTU Savings

• Premium economizer savings, plus

– Fan savings when not heating or cooling

– More accurate ventilation during occupied period

– Reduced ventilation when not occupied

• Estimated (DOE2) HVAC savings: 25% - 45% regionally

• Compare potential savings in Sacramento, CA:

– SEER 13 to 15: 0.22 kWh/sf

– Premium Ventilation: 2.0 kWh/sf

• Limited field testing for functionality:

– Two RTUs with adequate data for savings prediction:

RTU Savings (n=2) 13.1%; 66.3%

– Savings vary widely with base condition and loading

Page 35: PNW Rooftop Unit Working Group - RTUG – Rooftop Unit Research Project Phase 4 May 26, 2010

Its Time for Stand-Alone DDC• Its time to let the low

cost, 35-year old solid-state economizer controllers go

• Just too many wires up on the roof.

• A combined programmable thermostat with BACnet DDC controller is now here at a reasonable price from multiple manufacturers

Page 36: PNW Rooftop Unit Working Group - RTUG – Rooftop Unit Research Project Phase 4 May 26, 2010

DCV Integrated Fan Control (DCV-IFC)

Sequence Improvements– Occupancy Sensor based setpoint

and ventilation– Duty cycling would circulate air at

least every 30 minutes– Stand-alone demand reduction– Allow night flush cooling

Advantages of DCV-IFC– Interface with any staged

rooftop unit with an economizer,

– With the fan off when not needed less damper leakage

– Greater savings than VSD power reduction at low speed

– Lower cost as no VSDs and associated wiring or motor upgrades are required.

– Higher reliability, as electronic economizer (solid-state) controls are replaced with digital logic.

– Ventilation monitored and controlled

IEER Rating Background

Acknowledgement to Dick Lord for content from his presentation at CEE 09/09/2007

Page 66: PNW Rooftop Unit Working Group - RTUG – Rooftop Unit Research Project Phase 4 May 26, 2010

New Proposed Part Load Metric (IEER)• The ARHI 360 Engineering committee elected to base the

procedure on the general format used for chillers– A single metric would be used for part load ratings– It would be based on a weighted average of performance

at 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%– The weighting factors would be based on a US market

average– The performance would be determined at a ambient

conditions associated with the part load operation.– The committee elected to change the name from IPLV to

IEER so that people would not confuse the old and new requirement

Page 67: PNW Rooftop Unit Working Group - RTUG – Rooftop Unit Research Project Phase 4 May 26, 2010

Development of the Equation• In order to evaluate the A, B, C, D weighting factors for the

IEER equation as well as the temperature re-schedule temperatures we have developed a model with the following attributes;– Based on 3 buildings types – Office, Retail, School– Based on the 15 benchmark cities – see map– Looked at the analysis with and with economizer hours– Weight averaged the factors based on distribution of

building types and volume of packaged units for each region

– Performed the analysis for both air and water cooled conditions

Weighting Factors• For each of the 15 cities and 3 building profiles we then used a

tool that we have developed for ASHRAE 90.1 energy analysis which results in determining the number of operating hours per 5 degree temperature bin

• A typical city load profile is shown below:

Weighting Factors

• Determine the % load vs the full load design point and then grouped the load into the following 4 bins

Load Level EER Weighting Ambient Test Load range

100% 2.0% 95.0°F 97-100%

75% 61.7% 81.5°F 62.5%-97%

50% 23.8% 68.0°F 37.5-62.5%

25% 12.5% 65.0°F 0-37.5%

Page 71: PNW Rooftop Unit Working Group - RTUG – Rooftop Unit Research Project Phase 4 May 26, 2010

Economizers• Technically we should include the economizer hours or the full

occupied hours, but this would require us to test with economizers as well as have ratings with and without economizers

• Based on this the ARI committee agreed to only base the IEER on the cooling mechanical hours as it therefore represents a measure of the refrigeration system

• Economizers are addressed separately by ASHRAE 90.1

Page 72: PNW Rooftop Unit Working Group - RTUG – Rooftop Unit Research Project Phase 4 May 26, 2010

Advantages of IEER• The new IEER will allow for a uniform rating of all products including

single stage and multiple stage

• It allows for improved part load IEER values with variable speed or stepped speed fans

• It encourages control logic and designs that can improve part load performance

– Compressor unloading

– Variable flow supply fan

• Accounts for fan energy when refrigeration is cycling

– Encourages more efficient fan design & fan motors

• Provides one national number focused on energy use

Page 73: PNW Rooftop Unit Working Group - RTUG – Rooftop Unit Research Project Phase 4 May 26, 2010

Issues with IEER• Static pressure test conditions lower than typical field

conditions retained

• Does not include effects of

– Economizer

– Fan low speed or cycling during idle

– Evaporative assist or heat recovery

– Other efficiency impacts

• Does not provide regional data

Four phases of CPR development

The four phases include:• Develop method of test for unitary systems in a constant load

condition using and inverse models for system performance • Develop a performance protocol for using the testing, model,

and projection developed in phase 1 to reflect the load profiles and climatic conditions

• Expand the method of test to include transient load impacting parameters changes in indoor maintained temperature and occupant loading relative to ventilation control. Develop or adapt and calibrate a software unitary system emulator that can be used for testing real-time controls performance impact.

• Further test the method and procedure to verify its repeatability at multiple labs. Develop a protocol for using the testing, model, and emulators to project annual system performance. Develop load profiles and climatic conditions to allow annual regional performance projection.

Adaptive ECM for Res/Light Comm Retrofit Concept 3 motors should deliver the following savings:

• 50% reduction in fan electrical energy use during heating

• 11% reduction in cooling energy use

• 10% reduction in peak demand

• 80% savings for continuous ventilation applications

Page 108: PNW Rooftop Unit Working Group - RTUG – Rooftop Unit Research Project Phase 4 May 26, 2010

Concept 3 Adaptive Controls

• In dry climates, the fan runs at normal cooling speed during the air conditioner cycle, and then runs at very low speed for a time after the compressor turns off to re- evaporate condensate and recover unneeded latent capacity as sensible capacity.

• In humid climates, cooling airflow is reduced to improve dehumidification and the fan is immediately turned off at the end of the air conditioner cycle to reduce condensate re-evaporation.

• In mixed climates, Concept 3 accepts input from a humidistat to operate in dry climate mode during periods of low humidity, and in humid climate mode during periods of high humidity.
