Chiller Plant Efficiency Water-Cooled Chiller Plant Building cooling load - not each chiller cooling capacity! Design System Efficiency – not full load efficiency!
Chiller Plant Efficiency • Water cooled chiller plant equipment include: • Chillers • Chilled Water Pumps (Primary & Secondary) • Condenser Water Pumps • Cooling Towers

Chiller Plant Efficiency Perform E-20 Cooling Load Calculation Define whether CHWP, CWP, CT is operating on VSD, control strategies and control head Input Chiller Part Load Performance into E-20 Input CHWP, CWP & Cooling Tower Performance into E-20
Chiller Plant Efficiency – Condenser Water Pump & Cooling Tower
Chiller Plant Efficiency Perform E-20 Cooling Load Calculation Define whether CHWP, CWP, CT is operating on VSD, control strategies and control head Input Chiller Part Load Performance into E-20 Input CHWP, CWP & Cooling Tower Performance into E-20 Run Cooling Load Simulation
Chiller Plant Efficiency Perform E-20 Cooling Load Calculation Define whether CHWP, CWP, CT is operating on VSD, control strategies and control head Input Chiller Part Load Performance into E-20 Input CHWP, CWP & Cooling Tower Performance into E-20 Design kW/RT = 1 year energy consumption (kWh) 1 year cooling load (tonhr) Run Cooling Load Simulation Obtain total Cooling Load tonnage & Energy Consumption for 1 year
Chiller Plant Efficiency Worked Example: Chiller Plant Energy Consumption per year = Σ (Chillers + CHWP + CWP + Cooling Tower) Energy Consumption per year = 1,466,414 + 71,979 + 109,333 + 64,264 kWh/year = 1,711,990 kWh/year Building Cooling Load = 10,014,360 kWh/year = 2,847,415 Rtonhr/ year Design System Efficiency for Chiller Plant = 1,711,990 kWh / 2,847,415 Rtonhr = 0.601 kW/Ton Green Mark Platinum
Chiller Plant Efficiency Q5: How to compute the points for NRB 1-2? Answer: For Building Cooling Load < 500RT 12 points for meeting prescribed chilled water plant efficiency of 0.8 kW/RT + 0.45 point for every % improvement in chilled water plant efficiency over baseline of 0.8 kW/RT For Building Cooling Load ≥ 500RT 15 points for meeting prescribed chilled water plant efficiency of 0.7 kW/RT + 0.25 point for every % improvement in chilled water plant efficiency over baseline of 0.7 kW/RT
Chiller Plant Efficiency • E.g. Assuming cooling load > 500RT • Chiller Plant Efficiency = 0.601 kW/RT • For meeting prescribed chiller plant efficiency baseline (0.7 kW/RT) = 15 points • Improvement over baseline efficiency • (0.7 – 0.601) kW/RT x 100% = 14% improvement • 0.7 kW/RT • For improvement over baseline = 0.25 x 14(%) = 3.5 points Total points scored = 15 + 3.5 = 18.5 points
Chiller Plant Efficiency Important Notes: • Obtain the chiller part load efficiency curve for the chillers from the supplier to input into E-20 • Plot the baseline chiller part load performance by extrapolating and drawing a line parallel to the proposed chiller part load performance • Baseline CHWS/ CHWR temperature is 6.7oC/ 12.2oC • Baseline CWS/ CWR temperature is 29.5oC/ 35oC • All pumps > 15kW shall be installed with VSD • Obtain CHWP/ CWP/ CT power consumption input from the suppliers. Use MOTOR POWER INPUT! • Remember to select variable speed pump if using VSD, and input the control head Q6: What is the control head?
Air Distribution System Efficiency Option 1: Use Fan Nameplate Motor Refer to SS553 Table 2 Q7: What does it mean by “no baseline”?
Air Distribution System Efficiency Option 2: Use Motor Input Power Refer to ASHRAE 90.1 Clause 6.5.3.1 Q8: What if the baseline for fan < 4kW exceeds 0.17 W/cmh?
Air Distribution System Efficiency Calculation of points for air distribution system Overall air system improvement = (0.52 – 0.474)/ 0.52 X 100% = 8.85% Point score = 0.2 x (% improvement) = 0.2 x 8.85 = 1.77 points
Air Distribution System Efficiency Important Notes: • Use motor nameplate rating for Option 1 and motor input power for Option 2 based on equipment selection from supplier. • Air distribution fan system > 11kW motor shall be installed with VSD • Baseline for a VAV system shall be VAV (not CAV), i.e. simulation of baseline air system must allow the fan to regulate at lower speed during part load • Installing a VSD for the fan system and operating at fixed speed or 2 speed does not make it a VAV system. Q8: Why is the baseline for VAV system higher than CAV system?
Measurement & Verification Mandatory requirement for all new buildings > 2,000m2 Instrumentation to measure & verify chiller plant efficiency: • Flowmeter: • To measure chilled water flowrate at Chilled water header and condenser water header • Utrasonic or full bored magnetic flowmeter • Ultrasonic flowmeter location – 10D upstream and 5D downstream • Magnetic flowmeter location – 5D upstream and 2D downstream Ultrasonic Flowmeter Magnetic Flowmeter
Measurement & Verification • Temperature Sensors: • To measure CHWS, CHWR, CWS, CHWR temperature at chilled water header and condenser water header • Location of instruments as per manufacturer recommendation for stable measurement • Temperature sensors must be in direct contact with fluid • Additional 2 nos. spare thermowells at both sides of each temperature sensor for verification • Accuracy ±0.05oC or better Temperature sensor - Thermistor Thermowell
Measurement & Verification • Data Acquisition System • Shall have a minimum resolution of 16-bit (measuring chiller plant performance) • Shall have the capability to trend at 1 minute sampling time interval • Digital Power Meters • Each chiller • Each group of chilled water pumps, condenser water pumps and cooling towers • For other equipment, refer to SS553 requirements
Measurement & Verification The installed instrumentation shall have the capability to calculate the resultant chilled water plant efficiency within ± 5% of the true value.
Measurement & Verification Worked Example: The combined uncertainty for ΔT is computed based on the root-sum square formula with ΔT assumed to be 5.5oC
Measurement & Verification Worked Example: An additional 1% to be included in the computation of measurement errors for flow meter
Measurement & Verification Worked Example: Uncertainty of power measurement system shall include that of the current transformer, where applicable
Measurement & Verification Worked Example: Error = √(Σ(UN)2) = √(1.32 + 22 + 12) = 2.6% The total uncertainly for the chiller plant efficiency is 2.6%, which falls within the 5% of the true value.
Lighting Power Budget • Equipment Schedule & Fittings Schedule • Lighting Schedules
Lighting Power Budget Calculations – Lighting Power Budget • Input from M&E / Lighting Consultants • Schedule of light fittings • Quantities, power consumption, ballast lost, for each light fitting for both interior and exterior (including façade lighting) • Input from Architect • Area take-off Reference is SS530. If not available in SS530, seek agreement to use ASHRAE 90.1. Otherwise, no savings considered if there’s no reference LPB in either code
Lighting Power Budget Calculations – Lighting Power Budget • Input from M&E/ Lighting Consultants • Schedule of light fittings • Quantities, power consumption, ballast lost, for each light fitting for both interior and exterior (including façade lighting) • Input from Architect • Area take-off No savings but need to keep below 5% total interior lights including residential units (assume 6.5W/m2)
