standard 62.1: a vav dynamic reset approach
DESCRIPTION
Standard 62.1: A VAV Dynamic Reset Approach ASHRAE Standard 62.1 “Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality,” provides minimum design requirements for proper ventilation in commercial, institutional and hi-rise residential buildings. It allows optional “dynamic reset” controls to help match current system ventilation capacity to current load, but leaves design details for such controls to the designer. ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and ASHRAE Standard 189.1, on the other hand, both require demand controlled ventilation (DCV) for some zones, but they too, leave out design details. While relatively simple for single-zone systems, DCV can be much more complex for multiple-zone systems.TRANSCRIPT
ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010 DCV in Multiple-Zone Systems: Ventilation Reset Control
Agenda
Presenter: Dennis Stanke, Trane Staff Applications Engineer, FASHRAE
Abstract: ASHRAE Standard 62.1 “Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality,” provides minimum outdoor airflow requirements at design conditions. However, ASHRAE Standard 90.1 requires some systems to be operated sothat current ventilation capacity modulates to match current ventilation load (i.e., demand). Standard 62.1 allows optional “dynamic reset” controls to help match current capacity to load, but design details for such controls are left to the designer. One design approached, described in this presentation, combines ventilation reset control at the system level with various zone-level “demand controlled ventilation” strategies.
Learning objectives After viewing this program Participants will be able to:
1. Apply ventilation system design calculations for three ventilation systems: single-zone, 100% outdoor air, and multiple-zone systems (MZS)2. Summarize how demand controlled ventilation (DCV) can be incorporated in all three ventilation systems3. Apply dynamic reset to VAV systems using ventilation reset control, which responds to changes in system ventilation efficiency4. Apply dynamic reset to VAV systems by combining zone-level DCV with system-level ventilation reset control, to respond to both changes in zone population and changes in system ventilation efficiency

Dynamic Reset Approaches
• Already reviewed for single zone and 100% OA
operation
• For VAV MZS operation, you could … – Use “ventilation reset control” (VRC) Reset intake flow based only on changes in system
ventilation efficiency (Ev) due to changes in zone airflow
– Combine system-level VRC with zone-level DCV Reset intake flow based on changes in system ventilation
efficiency due to changes in both zone airflow and

efficiency due to changes in both zone airflow and population
– Use system-level DCV of some sort Approaches not well-known, but hopefully Dr. Lau’s
research addresses this

(Vot) at part load conditions by:– Assuming design population in non-DCV zones while
accounting for reduced population in DCV zones
– Accounting for changes in system ventilation efficiency(Ev) due to zone and system airflow changes

• Here’s the same example building using the same VRC approach, but with various “zone types” including both non-DCV and DCV zones
VRC w/Zone-Level DCV
• Defining zone types

operation
– Zones without DCV Non-DCV zones (NON): Pz = peak zone population at all
conditions, regardless of actual population
– Population-estimating DCV zones (EST) include: “Time-of-day” zones (TOD): Pz = predicted population
“Occupied/unoccupied” (OCC) zones: Pz = peak or zero population, depending on occupancy sensor

“Count” zones (COU): Pz = sensed number of occupants
– CO2-based DCV zones (CO2) (Pz = unknown) Breathing-zone OA flow depends on sensed difference
between primary and zone CO2: Vbz = f (ΔCO2)

D = Ps/ALLPz-peak, because occupant diversitydistributes total population among all zones in system
D applies to all zones for design

D = 1.0 for EST-DCV zones (estimated Pz is independent of occupant diversity)

D isn’t used for CO2-DCV zones (Vbz is determined by controller, without regard to occupant diversity
Rule: To assure adequate heat/cool capacity, Vot during operation must never be greater than Vot at design

VRC with DCV reduces Vot-actual more, saves
more energy
Implementation
• For VRC alone or combined with zone-level DCV, d i ll i l ddesign usually includes:– Communicating DDC-VAV boxes
– BAS with equation-solving capability
– Intake-airflow sensing and control at the AHU
– Building pressure control (which limits Vot reduction)
• Remember:
© 2009 Trane48
– Std 62.1 allows DCV in any system
– Std 90.1 requires DCV in 40 p/1000 ft2 zones
– Std 189.1 requires DCV in 25 p/1000 ft2 zones

Quick Summary
Dynamic reset depends on ventilation system type– Single-zone systems (no design population diversity) Optional zone DCV allowed
– 100% OA systems (no design population diversity) CV: Zone DCV & Vot reset not useful w/constant Vot
VAV: Zone DCV & Vot reset allowed but not cheap
– Multiple-zone sys (population diversity design credit):

Optional system Vot reset allowed
– Based only on system ventilation efficiency (VRC)
– Based on zone DCV combined with system VRC
– Based only on zone DCV (not covered)
