Agenda

What is ASHRAE 90.1?

How is ASHRAE 90.1 enforced?

What changed in 90.1-2010?

Challenges?

Suggestions for compliance

What is ANSI/ASHRAE/IESStandard 90.1?

ASHRAE 90.1

World’s most adopted building energy code?

Basis for International Energy ConservationCode (IECC)

Compliance option in the IECC

Minimum code standard

NOT aimed at 2030 ChallengeASHRAE to achieve NZEB in AEDGs & 189.1

Scope of ASHRAE 90.1

Energy conservation codefor buildings, except low-rise residential

Envelope

HVAC

Service Water Heating

Power & Lighting

Other

Scope of ASHRAE 90.1

Buildings, except low-rise residentialNot 3 stories or less residential or anysingle-family residences

Low-rise hotel, prison, etc. are covered

New buildings and their systems

New portions of buildings & systems

New systems (equipment) in existingbuildings

8 Temperature ‘zones’ + ABC = 17

Scope Addition

New equipment or building systemsspecifically identified in the standardthat are part of industrial ormanufacturing processes

Computer rooms are the first application

How is ASHRAE 90.1Enforced?

How 90.1 is Enforced

EPAct 1992 requires DOE to revieweach version of 90.1 & requires allstates to have energy codessubstantially equal to the latest‘approved’ version

DOE issues “Determinations”Theoretically, within one year

States are given two years to comply

DOE Determination

90.1-2010 was given a positivedetermination

States were notified October, 2011 thatthey must comply by October, 2013

Not All States Comply

Several states do not have a statewidebuilding or energy code

Each jurisdiction adopts its own code

Most States Comply

Indiana adopts 90.1-2007

Iowa, and Wisconsin adopt 2009 IECCwith amendments

The 2009 IECC includes 90.1-2007 as acompliance option

Illinois adopted IECC-2012 1/1/2013

2012 IECC adopts 90.1-2010

State Compliance Map

Why Should I Comply?

Required for LEED CertificationPrerequisite and need a couple points

Appendix G for more points

90.1-2010 for LEED version 4

Onerous requirements in IECC-2012

Required for all federal facilities

Saves energy

What Changed in ASHRAE90.1 - 2010?

ASHRAE 90.1-201090.1-2010 was released in October 2010

Goal was 30% less energy than 90.1-2004

2007 version saved only a few %

IECC has incorporated most changes2009 has some

2011 interim update

2012 major edition accepts 90.1-2010

Is Envelope Important?

I think envelopematters!

Building Envelope

Suggestions for compliancePlan building orientation early

Shade glass or use low SHGF

Early integration of architecture and MEPengineering

Fan Power

2007 requirementsCAV = 0.94 BHP/1000 cfm + Allowances

VAV = 1.30 BHP/1000 cfm + Allowances

Allowances for:• Ducted return• Return control devices• Filters• Heat recovery (wording clarifications for 2013)• Silencers

Fan Power

2010 requirements (VAV)Offices <1.5 BHP/1000 cfm

Labs & Hospitals <2.3 BHP/1000 cfm• Based on brake HP

• Includes all fans running at peak cooling load

• Also in IECC 2009 & 2012

Fan Power

Suggestions for complianceEfficient fansLow static systems• Larger air handling units (but smaller motors)• Fewer duct turns• Shorter duct runs• Requires early coordination of architectural

design with HVAC design• Sell the advantages!

Fan Power

2007 ERU allowanceWhatever the pressure drop is

2010 ERU allowance (dj)(2.2*effectiveness – 0.5) per airstream,except Runaround coils = 0.6”

Provides incentive for higher efficiencyenergy recovery

Energy Recovery – 2013 Changes?

2007 – if >70% OA and >5,000 cfm

Reheat – Typical VAV Hospital

Reheat

2007 requirementsUnlimited reheat if there are any pressurecontrolled spaces – many constant volumehospitals and labs

Many exceptions

Reheat2010 requirements

No reheat allowed unless:• ≤30% of peak flow (≤50% if 20% DB) or

• Flow no more than required air changes

Exception if 75% of heat is recovered

Bans CAV systems in most hospitals & labs

ORs only pressurized when unoccupied

IECC WAS Less Restrictive

2012 IECC deleted a critical exceptionVAV becomes non-compliant for manybuildings (in prescriptive path)

Limit on Overhead Air Heating (BX)

Limits heating air temperature to 20F aboveroom temperature when both supply outletand return/exhaust inlet are >6-feet AFF

Supplemental heat may be needed

OR

Reheat

Suggestions for complianceVAV systems

Perimeter heating

Condenser reheat

Heat pumps, fan coils, or chilled beamswith dedicated outside air systems (DOAS)and enthalpy recovery

Economizers

2007 requirementsExempt if over 25% of area served ishumidified above 35F dew-point (~22%RH)

Exempt if <11 tons

Economizers (cy)

Requires water economizer for somezones required to be humidified

Run cooling towers in the winter

Hospitals & some labs

Economizers - 2013

Possible changes in 2013

May have required too much in hot,humid zones in 2010

Economizers – None vs. Air

Economizers – Air vs. Water

Economizers – Water vs. Condenser

Energy Recovery Chillers for HealthcareFacilities & Labs, Etc.

Economizers

Suggestions for complianceUse a winterized cooling tower• Good energy saving measure for hospitals

Condenser Reheat• No risk of tower freezing

• Good payback in new construction

• Synergistic with water economizer

AHU Heat Gain (2013)

F&B Coils6.5.2.5 Preheat Coils.Preheat coils shall havecontrols that stop their heatoutput whenever mechanicalcooling, includingeconomizer, is occurring.

Humidifiers – 2013

6.5.2.4.3 Humidification systemdispersion tube hot surfaces in theairstream of ducts or air handling unitsshall be insulated with a product withan insulating value of at least R-0.5.

Duct Sealing (cq)

Ductwork and plenums with pressureratings shall be seal class A

Shaft openings require bushings

25% of duct systems over 3” w.g. andALL outdoor ducts shall be leak tested

Tested sections chosen by owner

Leakage class = 4 for all ducts

Duct Leakage

Seal Class vs. Leakage Class

Seal Class CSeal all transverse joints only

Seal Class BAll transverse joints and longitudinal seams

Seal Class AAll transverse joints, longitudinal seams,and duct wall penetrations

Leakage Class

Example: Leakage Class 4 means 100SF of duct will leak ≤ 4 cfm at 1” w.c.

Formula: Lmax = CLP0.65

Lmax = maximum permitted leakage cfm/100 ft2duct surface area;

CL = 4 (90.1-2010; 6 and 3 in SMACNA), ductleakage class, cfm/100 ft2 duct surface area at 1 in.w.c.; and

P = test pressure, which shall be equal to the designduct pressure class rating, in. w.c.

Domestic Water Preheat

No changes

Required if:Facility operates 24 hours a day.

Total installed heat rejection capacity of thewater-cooled systems exceeds 6,000,000 (~430cooling tons) Btu/h of heat rejection, and

Design service water heating load exceeds1,000,000 Btu/h.
