Smart Labs Workshop The Information Layer
Getting Beyond the Hype to Drive Meaningful Performance
Overview
bull Complexity of lab systems demands new approaches bull Making Analytics Work Architecture Platform Standards and
Processes bull Case Study UCI Medical Sciences C Cx bull Case Study UCI MBCx bull Questions and Discussion
Smart Labs Require New Approaches to OampM
High performance labs create immense amounts ofdata with increasing complexity for optimization
150 Data Points in each zone
Occupancy
Flow Offset Supply Temperature
Fume Hood Flow
General Exhaust Flow
Reheat Control Exhaust Flow
Bypass Air Sash Position
More than 10000 data points to be collected in 5-15 minute intervals generating as much as 3M data points per day ndash and 1B data points per year
Smart Lab Complexity A Simple Example of Static Pressure Reset
Voting-based Reset Parameters
Increasing complexity of high performance sequences of
operations
Increasing amount of data frombuilding systems and components
Greater need for use of analyticsplatforms to ensure proper
operations both during initialcommissioning an in on-going

Mechanical issue resolved SV now provides reheat Hot Water Valve commanded open but SV FDD alerts for stuck valve and low zone temp supply air temp does not increase to provide go away heating Hot Water Valve cycling is observed
Terminal Hot Water Valve Operations and Optimization
Significantly valve cycling due to hot water coil sizing and tuning parameters leading to wild supply air temps
Terminal Hot Water Valve Operations and Optimization
Using data cycling reduced to below 15 supply air temp cycling greatly reduced leading to better zone temp stability
AHU Supply Air Temperature Reset
Adjusting reset thresholds and zone voting Supply air temp setpoint operates parameters allows temp setpoint to start continuously at minimum setpoint of 55F resetting but with significant cycling
AHU Supply Air Temperature Reset
Continued tuning lowers magnitude of oscillations and stabilizes supply air temp now above 60F

Mechanical issue resolved SV now provides reheat Hot Water Valve commanded open but SV FDD alerts for stuck valve and low zone temp supply air temp does not increase to provide go away heating Hot Water Valve cycling is observed
Terminal Hot Water Valve Operations and Optimization
Significantly valve cycling due to hot water coil sizing and tuning parameters leading to wild supply air temps
Terminal Hot Water Valve Operations and Optimization
Using data cycling reduced to below 15 supply air temp cycling greatly reduced leading to better zone temp stability
AHU Supply Air Temperature Reset
Adjusting reset thresholds and zone voting Supply air temp setpoint operates parameters allows temp setpoint to start continuously at minimum setpoint of 55F resetting but with significant cycling
AHU Supply Air Temperature Reset

bull A laboratory building with ~400 zones showed anomalies on ~50of zones using analytics (reheat valves stuck open and closed)
bull Further investigation found that the ~3 year old valves were corroded and leaking by severely because of a building watertreatment valve selection issue
Operational Examples Reines Hall Zone Deadband
bull Heatcool call inducing load and airflow
bull No deadband high heating setpoints
bull Implemented deadband ~20 HHW savings observed
Operational Examples Failed Valve Detection
AHU-3 hot water valve is failed open ndash note that AHU-2 and AHU-4 use hot water when AHU-3 uses CHW to maintain the same SAT setpoint
Operational Examples Reines Hall Occupancy Sensors
bull Occupancy sensors are too sensitive triggering occupancy after hours and inducing unnecessaryheating and cooling
Operational Examples Reines Hall Occupancy Sensors
bull Occ sensors sent to lower sensitivity with longer timeout bull Induced heating load significantly reduced

Operational Analytics Support
Operational Examples McGaugh Hot Water Valves
bull A laboratory building with ~400 zones showed anomalies on ~50of zones using analytics (reheat valves stuck open and closed)
bull Further investigation found that the ~3 year old valves were corroded and leaking by severely because of a building watertreatment valve selection issue
Operational Examples Reines Hall Zone Deadband
bull Heatcool call inducing load and airflow
bull No deadband high heating setpoints
bull Implemented deadband ~20 HHW savings observed
Operational Examples Failed Valve Detection
AHU-3 hot water valve is failed open ndash note that AHU-2 and AHU-4 use hot water when AHU-3 uses CHW to maintain the same SAT setpoint
Operational Examples Reines Hall Occupancy Sensors
bull Occupancy sensors are too sensitive triggering occupancy after hours and inducing unnecessaryheating and cooling
Operational Examples Reines Hall Occupancy Sensors
bull Occ sensors sent to lower sensitivity with longer timeout bull Induced heating load significantly reduced
Fume Hood Performance Reporting
Best Practices Open Communication Protocol
bull ASHRAErsquos BACnet protocol has become the industry standard for open protocol in building systems
bull Other emerging protocols such as Haystack(wwwproject-haystackorg) also offer open non-proprietary solutions
bull Physical layer protocol specification is important ndashproprietary extensions and services can be layered on otherwise ldquoopenrdquo protocols
Best Practices Point Naming Convention
Same as AHU_DAT
AHUSupplyT AHUDischT
Best Practices Data Modeling and Tagging
Best Practices IT and Security
bull Engage building IT early and often in the process bull Develop a security strategy based on the needs of the controls

needed to enhance operations
Procuring Analytics Process and Platform
bull Platform vs ldquoBlack Boxrdquo ndash can be an important consideration ndash Platform approach enables more customization and adaptation
