  1. Temple University Tyler School of Art Doug Boswell Mechanical Option April 16, 2008

  2. Presentation Outline • Project Overview • Existing Mechanical Systems • Proposed Redesign • Annual Energy Cost and Consumption • Electrical Considerations • Mechanical Construction Cost • Life Cycle Cost Analysis • Conclusions

  3. Project Overview • Building Owner: Temple University • Building Location: Philadelphia, PA • Campus moving from Elkins Park, PA to Main Campus • Art Education • Building divided by Departments • 234,000 SF • $75 Million • Construction Complete January 2009

  4. Tyler School of Art Designed by Carlos Jimenez School Features 160,000 SF of Teaching Space Building Includes Studio, Galleries, Administration, and Workshops Departments Include Painting, Metals, Printmaking, Sculpture, etc. 40% More SF than Elkins Park Campus View from Main Lobby

  5. Existing Mechanical Conditions • Campus Chiller/Boiler Plant • 40,000 lbs/hr of HPS supplied at 240°F • HPS Converted to LPS • LPS used for preheat coils, AHUs, and heat exchangers • LPS Converted to Hot Water Heat through Heat Exchanger • Hot Water System serves terminal heating equipment • Hot Water Supply: 180°F • Hot Water Return: 160°F

  6. Existing Mechanical Conditions • Served by 3 RTUs & 4 basement AHUs • 2 RTUs & 2 AHUs are VAV Reheat • 1 RTU & 2 AHUs are CAV Reheat • Units Range 35,000-62,000 CFM • CAVR units are 100% OA Layout of Units

  7. VAV/CAV Advantages • Low First Cost • Low Maintenance • Simple & Inexpensive Controls • Flexibility

  8. VAV/CAV Disadvantages • High Energy Consumption • Inadequate Airflow • Single Box Serves Multiple Spaces • Large Ductwork

  9. Objectives Improve Energy Consumption Increase Energy Efficiency Reduce Outdoor Air Load Required Evaluate Long Term Economic Feasibility

  10. Redesign Summary • Replace VAV/CAV units with Dedicated Outdoor Air (DOAS) Units • Parallel Sensible System: Chilled Beams

  11. Dedicated Outdoor Air System (DOAS) • Separates Latent from Sensible Loads • Energy Savings with Decreased Fan and Chiller Energy • Paired with Parallel Sensible System • Indoor Air Quality • Thermal Comfort

  12. Energy Recovery (Enthalpy Wheel) • Included as Part of DOAS • Advantages Of Enthalpy Wheel • Reduce Cooling/Heating Loads • Downsize Equipment/Ductwork • Large Ventilation • Disadvantages • First Cost • Fan Energy • Required Air Filtration Enthalpy Wheel

  13. Chilled Beams • Active Beams Mix Supply Air with Existing Air • Passive Beams Use Natural Convection • Warm Air Rises While Cool Air Falls Active Chilled Beam Passive Chilled Beam

  14. Chilled Beams • Advantages • Pump Energy instead of Fan Energy • Mechanical System and Duct Reductions • Higher Air Temperature Because Direct Cooling • Disadvantages • Cost • Condensation • High Sensible Loads • U.S. Availability • Lighting Coordination

  15. DOAS Ventilation Air Summary DOAS Ventilation Air Required Supply Air Reduction

  16. DOAS System Layout DOAS Units Required

  17. Chilled Beams Required • Halton, Inc. Chilled Beams Used • Heating/Cooling • Wide Occupancy Ranges • High Sensible Loads Chilled Beams Required Halton CCE Active Chilled Beam

  18. Annual Existing Energy Cost • Annual Operating Cost of $500,428.00

  19. Annual Redesigned Energy Cost Annual Energy Cost Savings of $164,061.00

  20. Annual Energy Consumption Existing System Redesigned System

  21. Annual Energy Consumption • Reduction of Approximately 33% kWh

  22. Electrical Considerations

  23. Electrical Considerations NEC Suggests VD of 3% for Feeders or Branch Circuits

  24. Initial Cost Comparison

  25. 20 Year Life Cycle Cost • Assume i = 0.06 • Payback = 8.7 years

  26. Conclusion • DOAS w/ Chilled Beams is Beneficial and Recommended for the Tyler School of Art • Considerations • DOAS Design Software • Early Design Coordination for Chilled Beams • Contractor Familiarity
