Carrier Controls Demand Controlled Ventilation

Comfort = Temperature + Ventilation Comfort Is More Than Just The Right Temperature… Ventilation Control Why Ventilation?
3
Ventilation Control
4
Ventilation Provides Comfort Health & Safety Compliance Ventilation Control
5
The same way it was in 1930. With Fixed Ventilation! How is ventilation provided in most buildings today? Ventilation Control
6
Inefficient! Fixed Ventilation Building codes require ventilation rates based on cfm/person: (typically 20 cfm/person) Max Occupancy: 25 people = 500cfm Actual Occupancy: 5 people = 500cfm Actual Occupancy: 1 person = 500cfm Ventilation Control
7
Total Building Heating and Cooling Costs Ventilation Control Ventilation
8
Fixed Ventilation In a Multi-Zoned Building Total cfm = Max occupants X 20 cfm There Is No Control! Ventilation Control
9
Is There A Better Way? Ventilation Control
10
Temperature Control In A Multi-Zoned Building Measure In Each Zone Control Based On Actual Load What if we did the same thing with ventilation? Temperature Sensor Temperature + Ventilation Sensor Ventilation Control
11
Delivers The RIGHT Amount of Fresh Air, To The RIGHT Place, At The RIGHT Time… Great Idea! But How Does It Work? Zone Ventilation Control
12
Controlling Ventilation There is a clearly defined relationship between indoor CO 2 levels & ventilation rates established by: Indoor CO 2 levels are a measure of ventilation rates (cfm/person) ASHRAE 62.1 & 90.1ASTM CO 2 & Ventilation Standard CO 2 is the control parameter for ventilation! Zone Ventilation Control
13
Actual Occupancy 25 people = 500cfmActual Occupancy 5 people = 100cfmActual Occupancy 1 person = 20cfm Ventilation based on actual occupancy! Zone Ventilation Control Single Zone Ventilation
14
Multi Zoned Ventilation Control In a Building Healthy & Efficient! Zone Ventilation Control
15
OK! But How Does Carrier Do It? Zone Ventilation Control
16
PremierLink The innovative DDC control system that automatically gives you the ventilation you need only when you really need it, with a thermostat or network. Carrier DCV Rooftop Controller Comfort System
17
Here’s how it works… Individual sensors throughout the building work together to identify and immediately respond to changing needs for total comfort control. CO 2 (People Meters) PremierLink Carrier DCV
18
As certain areas become occupied, the PremierLink identifies the changing temperature load as well as the change in ventilation requirements. PremierLink Carrier DCV
19
Outside air dampers are utilized only as deemed necessary by actual occupant CO 2 levels (rather than maximum assumed levels), thus reducing energy consumption by the HVAC system. PremierLink Carrier DCV

VAV CO 2 1916 Mechanical Engineers Handbook Explains relationship between CO 2 and ventilation 1929 NY Building code details CO 2 levels shall not be greater than one part in one thousand 1973 Energy crunch introduce VAV system for commercial buildings 1989 ASHRAE Standard 62-89 sets 1000 PPM maximum 1997 Interpretation IC-62-1989-27 clarifies use of CO 2 as a method of controlling ventilation based on occupancy 1999 ASHRAE 62-99 eliminates 1000 PPM CO 2 threshold inside/outsid e differential introduced 1999 ComfortID introduced zone level DCV 2000 Carrier introduces low cost temp/CO 2 sensor Timeline Carrier DCV
21
Understanding CO 2 People exhale CO 2 at concentrations of 4% (40,000 ppm) Normal room concentrations are in the range of 400 - 1200 ppm As a gas, CO 2 diffuses and equalizes rapidly throughout a room Carrier DCV
22
CO 2 & Occupancy CO 2 production by people is very predictable based on activity level Doubling the people in a room will double CO 2 production Carrier DCV
23
CO 2 Equilibrium Levels 5 cfm/person 10 cfm/person 15 cfm/person 20 cfm/person 30 cfm/person CO2 levels will build until an equilibrium level is reached with outside air entering the space Carrier DCV
24
This chart compares ventilation usage throughout a typical day using purple to represent “demand controlled” and green to represent “constant.” The difference between the two equates to significant savings. PremierLink Ventilation Savings Carrier DCV

CODE COMPLIANCE… “ Current technology (CO 2 sensors) can permit the design of ventilation systems that are capable of detecting the occupant load of the space and automatically adjusting the ventilation rate accordingly.” International Mechanical Code: Model, State & Local Codes Can Be Measured & Documented! Compliance Assured… Zone Ventilation Control Accepted by: ASHRAE Standard 62
