Executive Summary The purpose of this report is to determine whether this data center can be renovated into office space using the existing air handling units (AHU’s). The American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Airconditioning Engineers Ventilation Compoliance Standard (ASHRAE Standard 62, Addendum N) does not apply to data centers because all supply air is unvitiated and data centers do not meet occupancy requirements. If the data center were converted into office space, it would need to comply with ASHRAE Standard 62-2001 Addendum N to meet the outdoor air requirements based on both occupancy and floor area. The overall size of this renovation is approximately 120,000 square feet. In order to evaluate the data center for a renovation into office space, this report will first explain the existing conditions and then determine whether a renovation into office space would comply with ASHRAE Standard 62-2001, Addendum N. The report will also take a comprehensive look at the critical spaces are and how the OA supplied by existing AHU’s compares and complies with requirements and criteria of Standard 62. By using the spreadsheets provided by ASHRAE, it was determined that the critical fraction of outdoor air for the air handling systems range greatly. These calculations are illustrated in detail in the analysis section of this report. This data suggests that given the wide range of outdoor air requirements, the building would benefit from reconfiguration. Currently there is very little outdoor air being supplied from the air handling units. Provisions would need to be made in order to compensate for this. Several areas of the renovated office space would not require as much air as the air handling units are providing. A possible reconfiguration of air handling units to rebalance the loads and/or removal of excess air conditioning units would be necessary, though not ideal. Since the current terminal boxes either have minimums of zero or are set for constant volume, variable air volume boxes would need to be installed for each zone.

Existing Building Data The Data center contains 3 levels covering approximately 175,000 square feet. This report will focus on the service level and computer rooms on the first and second floor. This space contains 11 types of spaces, which are listed below.

The mechanical system for this data center is a combination of constant volume and variable volume with ten separate air handlers taking care of ventilation. Supplimental computer room air conditioning units (100% recirculated air) are added for additional cooling. Two of these air handlers supply the service floor. Four air handlers supply the electrical UPS rooms with transfer air to the battery rooms, this includes N + 1 redundancy. Two air handler units are dedicated to the ventilation of the first and second floor computer rooms and UNIX rooms, this also consists of one redundant unit. The following are a list of the air handling units and the components of their design. Units 4, 5: Serve the service level of the data center. These are variable volume units. The AHU’s are set up in parallel with the same supplies of return air and outdoor air. Air is exhausted both out of the mixed air duct and through the exhaust fans (EF-1 and EF-2) located in the east corridor. The primary on/off is provided by the building automation system, with start/stop switches also located at the starter. Each AHU has a return air damper and discharge damper, they share a common outside air damper. The supply air fans of each are provided with inlet vanes and are controlled to maintain system static pressure. Return air fans are provided with inlet vanes and are controlled to maintain a set point differential airflow. The supply air temperature is set to 55 F (adjustable). A differential pressure switch is located across each AHU filter. A temperature sensor is located in each AHU mixed air plenum operates a 3-way cooling control valve to modulate temperature. System airflow is 25,850 cfm for each AHU. When halon discharge or purge mode is signaled by the Building Automation System (BAS) the system dampers and fans operate accordingly. A schematic of this system is shown in Figure 1 in Appendix A. Units 1, 2, 3, 10: Serve the service level UPS and battery rooms. These are constant volume units. The AHU’s are set up in parallel and use 100% return air. This air is supplied into the UPS rooms with transfer air into the battery rooms. Air is exhausted through EF-1 and EF-2 in the east corridor. A small amount of outdoor air is supplied through Units 4 and 5. Units 1, 2, 3, and 10 run continuously to serve the UPS room. Primary on/off control of each UPS AHU is provided by the AHU hands off automation (HOA) switch or via the BAS. Each AHU has return and discharge air dampers. Space temperature is controlled by the BAS which modulates each of the AHU’s 2-way cooling control valves in unison. The BAS selects system air handlers based on priority ranking. As the control valves close off, the quantity of operating AHU’s stage off. A differential pressure switch is located across each AHU filter. Upon a loss of motor current the next available in-line AHU shall be energized. System airflow is 28,000 cfm for each AHU. When halon discharge or purge mode is signaled by the BAS the system dampers and fans operate accordingly. A schematic of this system is shown in Figure 2 in Appendix A. Units 8, 9: Serve as ventilation units for the first and second floor UNIX and computer rooms. These are variable volume units. Primary control is the BAS, but manual start/stop switches are located at the starters. Each AHU is equipped with a return and discharge air damper. Supply air fan inlet vanes maintain system static pressure set point. Temperature and humidity is monitored. Air is supplied at 50F and 50% RH for space conditions of 55 F and 53% RH. Humidification is served by humidifiers H-1, 2, 3, and


Page 5

or 4. When humidifiers are on, the corresponding electric duct coils 1, 2, 3, 4 operate to maintain a minimum discharge air temperature of 72 F. A differential pressure switch is located across each AHU filter. A temperature sensor is also located in each AHU mixed air plenum. When halon discharge or purge mode is signaled by the BAS the system dampers and fans operate accordingly. A schematic of this system is shown in Figure 3 In appendix A. Units 6,7. These variable volume direct expansion units serve office space in a separate section of the building and will not be discussed in this report.

Proposed Building Plans Modifications will be made to all 3 levels including the service level, first and second floor computer room space. The space types will change as follows. (Table 2, Graph 2)

The modified mechanical system will include eight of the ten air handlers taking care of ventilation. Supplimental computer room air handlers may not be necessary in the event of a renovation into an office building but calculations were bade both to include the recirculated air and also without them in the event of demolition. Two of these air handlers will still supply the service floor, but will need more outdoor air for new occupants in renovated office space. The Four air handlers supplying the UPS rooms with transfer air to the battery rooms, will now serve office space and require outdoor air intake. The two air handler units dedicated to the ventilation of the first and second floor computer rooms and UNIX rooms, will now serve office spaces. The following list the AHU’s modified behavior taken into account for ASHRAE Standard 62 Addendum N compliance calculations. Units 4, 5: Will serve the service level office, storage and corridor spaces. The AHU’s are set up in parallel with the same supplies, return air and outdoor air ducts and exhaust routs. Outdoor air will no longer be provided to the zones served by AHU 1,2,3,10. Calculations have been made to account for extra computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units in the automated print room. They have also been made pending demolition of the CRAC units. The rest of the components of the system will remain in tact. Occupancy is also based on floor area following the ASHRAE Standard 62 Addendum N. System airflow will remain 25,850 cfm for each AHU. A schematic of this system is shown in Figure 1 in Appendix B. Units 1, 2, 3, 10: Serving the service level UPS and battery rooms converted into office space. The AHU’s set up in parallel using 100% return air will now be set up to receive outside air. This air is supplied into the former UPS rooms with transfer air into the former battery rooms. Air is still exhausted through EF-1 and EF-2 in the east corridor. Outdoor air will no longer be supplied from AHU’s 4, 5. Occupancy is also based on floor area following ASHRAE Standard 62 Addendum N. Since redundancy is not necessary in office buildings, it will not be accounted for in the calculations. The calculations will be made with the use of all of the units on. System airflow is 28,000 cfm for each AHU. A schematic of this system is shown in Figure 2 in Appendix B. Units 8, 9: Serving as ventilation units for the first and second floor UNIX and computer rooms will now serve open plan offices on both floors. Numerous computer room air conditioning units are located on these floors for extra sensible cooling of computers and racks. Calculations have been taken into account for both the use of CRAC units, and with their demolition. No VAV or CAV boxes are currently installed in this system, but the spreadsheets divide up the ventilation based on floor area. Occupancy is also based on floor area following ASHRAE Standard 62 Addendum N. A schematic of this system is shown in Figure 3 in appendix B. Units 6,7. These variable volume direct expansion units serve office space in a separate section of the building and will not be discussed in this report.

Assumptions ASHRAE Standard 62 Addendum N has been followed in order to analyze the amount of outdoor air necessary to satisfy ventilation requirements. Since most of the space in the current data center is unoccupied, occupancy numbers must be assumed. The 2003 International Building Code allows 100 sf per person in offices. This report, however has based occupancy on Addendum N. These requirements allow 5 persons per thousand square feet in office areas. Currently there are no corridors on the first or second floors. These would be added by the architect for means of egress, (2 exits for up to 200 occupants, 3 for up to 1000, and 4 for over 1000 occupants) as specified by the 2003 International Building Code. Lavatories and water closets are not located on the first and second floors, but shall be designed to meet the 2000 International Plumbing code. In general there shall be 1 water closet (WC) per 50 occupants in a business. From ASHRAE Standard 62, 2001, 50 cfm/WC is required. To stay conservative, no space was taken away from the building to account for lavatory space, the 50 cfm per WC was added as transfer air to the existing system. Variable air volume (VAV) boxes are not currently installed for the AHU 8, 9 system. Further, VAV boxes on AHU 4, 5, and AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 have box minimums of zero. In the event of change into an office building, box minimums will be assumed to be 30% the maximum as stated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In the event this space is renovated into office space, new AHU configuration may be necessary, the following calculations will explain why.

Analysis Schedule information for the AHUs for each section is provided to determine amount of supply air provided to the space. (Table 3)

This section includes definitions, equations and summaries for each zone. The information for each zone is listed on the ASHRAE spreadsheets listed in Appendix C.

The zone floor area (Az) [ft^2] is calculated. This is the net occupiable floor of the zone. (ft^2)

o This was calculated using the area command in autocad drawings.

Zone population (Pz) [people] is also calculated. Default values were calculated due to lack of information regarding a renovation into an office building.

o ASHRAE Standard 62 Addendum identifies this as the largest number of people expected to occupy the zone during typical use. Default values for occupancy are found in table 6.1.

o For Office space, typical occupancy is 5 persons/ 1000 sf.

Outdoor airflow rate (Rp) [cfm] required per person is determined in Table 6.1. o These values are also set into the spreadsheet provided by ASHRAE as

lookup values. o Since water closets were not taken into account, ASHRAE Standard 62,

2001 was referenced. 50 cfm/ Water Closet is recommended.

Outdoor airflow rate (Ra) [cfm] required per square foot is determined in Table 6.1.

o Along with Rp, Ra is also listed by ASHRAE as a lookup value in the spreadsheet.

o ASHRAE Standard 62 does not specify any outdoor air flow for water closets based on area.


Page 10

Breathing Zone Outdoor Airflow (Vbz) [cfm] is the design airflow required in the

breathing zone of the occupiable space or spaces in the zone. This is determined by Equation 6-1.

o Vbz = RpPz + RaAz (6-1) o The spreadsheet calculates RpRz and RaAz separately. o Vbz is helpful in finding the outdoor airflow to the zone which will be

described on the following page.

Zone Air Distribution Effectiveness (Ez) [unitless] is determined in table 6.2 as follows:

o Zones served by AHU 4,5 and AHU 1,2,3,10 use ceiling supply of cool air with Ez = 1.0.

o Zones served by AHU 8,9 have under-floor air distribution with floor supply of cool air and ceiling return provided that the 150 fpm supply jet reaches at least 4.5 ft above the floor, Ez = 1.0.

Zone Outdoor Airflow (Voz) [cfm] is the outdoor airflow required in the zone at

design and is computed using breathing zone outdoor airflow and zone distribution effectiveness as listed previously.

o Voz = Vbz/Ez (6-2)

Zone primary airflow (Vpz) [cfm] is the primary airflow supplied to the zone from the air handling unit.

o The minimum value of the primary airflow to the zone from the air handler is signified by Vpzm [cfm].

This is set by the box minimum to each zone. For variable air volume boxes this is one third the total box volume.

o This includes outdoor air and recirculated air from the air handling unit, but not from other zones or infiltration/exfiltration.

The maximum zone primary air fraction (Zp) [unitless] is needed when looking

for the system ventilation efficiency in Table 6.3. o Zp = Voz/Vpz (6-5)

Any time 100% Transfer air is used to ventilate a room, Zp approaches infinity.


Page 11

The building is then evaluated on the system level. The system population (Ps) [people] is the maximum number of occupants in the

system served by the air handlers.

o This is found by summing the Pz s. o Since occupants may move from zone to zone, only the number of people

likely to be in the system at design is needed. AHU 4, 5 Ps = 92 people AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 Ps = 48 people AHU 8, 9 Ps = 415 people

Occupant diversity (D) [unitless] accounts for variation in Ps due to occupant

movement within the system. o D = Ps / (Σall zones (Pz)) (6-7) o Occupants in Lavatories, conference rooms, lunch rooms, training rooms,

or copy rooms for instance, are not accounted for in the system population, but are accounted for if you sum the occupants for each zone.

AHU 4, 5 D = 0.94 AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 D = 0.96 AHU 8, 9 D = 0.96

Uncorrected outdoor air intake (Vou) [cfm] is defined and summarized as follows.

o Vou = D (Σall zones RpPz + Σ all zones RaAz) (6-6) AHU 4, 5 Vou = 1,959 cfm AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 Vou = 899 cfm AHU 8, 9 Vou = 7,589 cfm

System primary airflow (Vps) [cfm] is the total primary airflow supplied to every

zone in the system. o Vps = Σ Vpz

AHU 4,5 Vps = 19,650 cfm AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 Vps = 112,000 cfm AHU 8, 9 Vps = 34,180 cfm

Average outdoor air fraction (Xs) [unitless] is the fraction of outdoor air intake

flow in the system primary flow. This ratio is taken at the air handler. o Xs = Vou/Vps

AHU 4, 5 Xs = 0.10 AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 Xs = 0.01 AHU 8, 9 Xs = 0.22


Page 12

Further, System Efficiencies are Calculated. System ventilation efficiency (Ev) [unitless] is defined in Table 6.3 for maximum

zone primary air fractions (Max Zp) for any Max Zp less than or equal to 0.55. AHU 4, 5 Max Zp = 0.99 (Approaches infinity with WC) AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 Max Zp = Approaches infinity AHU 8, 9 Max Zp = 0.71 (Approaches infinity with WC)

o For values greater than 0.55, Appendix G is used. The use of Appendix G is necessary for every system in the

building. In order to use Appendix G, evaluations must be made on both the zone and system levels.


Page 13

Appendix G Appendix G uses several values calculated above, but it also takes into account

several new values. Values in the Appendix G spreadsheet repeated from previous calculations are listed as follows and can to be referred to above.

o Az, Pz, Rp, Ra, Vbz, Voz, Vpz, Vpzm, Ps, D, Vou, Xs, Ev The following are calculated in Addendum N but not necessary in Appendix G.

o Vpz, Vpzm, Zp Appendix G on Zone Level

Zone discharge Airflow (Vdz) [cfm] is the expected discharge to the zone including air from the air handler and air locally recirculated or transferred in from other zones.

o Zones with computer room air conditioning units and with transfer air are going to have a larger Vdz than Vpz.

Minimum zone discharge airflow (Vdzm) [cfm] is the minimum Vdz.

o This was calculated by taking the Vpzm and adding the Vdz. The outdoor air fraction based on minimum zone discharge (Zd) [unitless] is

similar to the primary outdoor air fraction (Zp), however it includes recirculated and transfer air.

o Zd = Voz/Vdzm Primary air fraction to the zone (Ep) [unitless] is calculated based on the number

of zones in the system. o Multiple zone systems: Ep = Vpz/Vdz o Since all of the systems have more than one zone, EP can be assessed

accordingly. In Zones with secondary recirculation of return air, the fraction of secondary

recirculated air to the zone that is representative of average system return air (Er) is

o Er <=1.0 for every zone because of plenum return o 1.0 has been chosen for this value.

The fraction of supply air to the zone from sources outside the zone (Fa) can now

be calculated. o Fa = Ep + (1-Ep)*Er

The fraction of supply air to the zone from fully mixed primary air (Fb) is the

same as the primary air fraction to the zone (Ep). The fraction of outdoor air to the zone from sources outside the zone (Fc) is

calculated in the following equation. o Fc = 1-(1-Ez)*(1-Er)*(1-Ep)


Page 14

The system level can now be looked at for Zones with recirculated air. System primary airflow (Vps) [cfm] is the total primary airflow supplied to all the

zones served by the system from the air handling unit. o Vps = Σ Vpz o For systems with computer room air conditioning units remaining:

AHU 4, 5 Vps = 19,650 AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 Vps = 112,000 AHU 8, 9 Vps = 34,180

o For systems with computer room air conditioning units demolished: AHU 4, 5 Vps = 19,650 AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 Vps = 112,000 AHU 8, 9 Vps = 34,180

The zone ventilation efficiency (Evz or Evs) is the efficiency with which the

system distributes outdoor air from the intake to an individual breating zone. It can be calculated for systems with single or multiple zones.

o Multiple zone systems: Evz = (Fa + Xs*Fb – Zd*Fc)/Fa (G-2) o For systems with computer room air conditioning units remaining:

AHU 4, 5 Evz = 0.99 AHU 8, 9 Evz = 1.00

o For systems with computer room air conditioning units demolished: AHU 4, 5 Evz = 0.71 AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 Evz = 1.00 AHU 8, 9 Evz = 0.51

Design outdoor air intake flow (Vot) [cfm] compares uncorrected outdoor air

intake, as stated in Addendum N, with the system ventilation efficiency. o Vot = Vou/Ev o For systems with computer room air conditioning units remaining:

AHU 4, 5 Vot = 17,233 cfm AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 Vot = 806 cfm AHU 8, 9 Vot = 14,925 cfm

o For systems with computer room air conditioning units demolished: AHU 4, 5 Vot = 17,233 cfm AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 Vot = 806 cfm AHU 8, 9 Vot = 14,925 cfm


Page 15

Now that these quantities have been satisfied the Percent Outdoor air intake may

be evaluated as the ratio of minimum outdoor air intake over total system primary flow to all zones.

o (Vou/Ev)/( Σ Vpz) o For systems with computer room air conditioning units remaining:

AHU 4, 5 OA = 88 % AHU 8, 9 OA = 44 %

o For systems with computer room air conditioning units demolished: AHU 4, 5 OA = 88 % AHU 1, 2, 3, 10 OA = 1 % AHU 8, 9 OA = 44 %

o The similarity in these results shows that recirculation within the zone does not effect the outdoor air requirement to the zone or system.


Page 16

Discussion ASHRAE Standard 62 Addendum N was used to determine the fraction of outdoor air required for the data center in the event of turn over into an office building. Addendum N revised the Ventilation Rate Procedure specified in Standard 62, 2001. Spreadsheets provided by ASHRAE were used in order to organize information. The indoor air quality method of design deals with the contamination within the space, how much and how to get rid of it. It deals with sick building syndrome due to both CO2 and other contaminants such as airborne chemicals and disease. Addendum N is a step forward from the original Standard 62, 2001 because it accounts for floor area on top of zone population. This means that in areas such as corridors with no set occupancy, there will be outdoor air supplied to get rid of contaminants due to off-gassing, asbestos, etc. The air handling units are capable of supplying enough outdoor air necessary for the system. AHU 1, 2, 3, 10, however, would require outdoor air intake. Also since there is such an imbalance between system outdoor air, the configuration of the systems may be rearranged, cost limiting.
