Seminar 30 -- Case Studies in Controls
This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.This session examines two differing approaches to energy savings: a case study of a retrofit and a programming strategy, and performance verification for VAV terminals. The case study is an energy retrofit of a Salt Lake office building resulting in 50% energy reduction. Controls were replaced, enhanced monitoring installed and solar PV and domestic water heating employed. Strategies for controlling terminal equipment to minimize energy usage while remaining in compliance of ventilation requirements are presented. Specialized database optimized for the intake, management, analysis and presentation of large volumes of time series data from building systems, sensors, and controls is described. 30-1 Over 50% Energy Reduction with Retrofits Plus Solar: An Office Building Case Study
