Laboratory HVAC Best Practices

1. Laboratory HVAC Best Practices “Intensive ventilation requirements and increasing plug loads make today’s laboratories the single largest campus energy consumer.  The challenge is to design and operate energy efficient labs…while still maintaining high performance, comfort, and safety standards.  This session presents some of the latest strategies and best practices for optimizing laboratory energy performance.” Dale Sartor, LBNL Craig Johnson, UC San Diego Bill Cowdell, UC Irvine Rich Yardley, Newmatic Engineering

5. hospitals • dormitories • laboratories • ‘other’ - classrooms, offices, auditorium, etc

6. Exceeding Title 24 building massing, glazing, exterior shades, etc thermal load on, or in, the building mechanical engineer to identify loads, mitigate them and influence the building static element design acceptable indoor environment ME accountable for indoor environment

7. what worked and why • what should we never do again

8. thermal fluid heaters • exhaust plenums • insulation on steam and condensate piping • vivarium floors (epoxy) • environmental cold rooms • PLC and software • ventilation air condensation • door heater • fanwall system

10. catwalk over vivariums • motion sensors for HVAC and lighting • press unoccupied air change rates • in vivariums, air in and out of each space • animal bedding systems (Detach) • disposal bin design • irrigation from condensate, not rain • glazing • manage solar load off of building • views to outside of building • interior shades

13. Credit 8.2 (1 point) Direct line of sight to vision glazing from 90% of all regularly occupied spaces, not including copy rooms, storage areas, mechanical, laundry, and other low occupancy support areas. Provide drawings and a narrative highlighting direct line of sight zone. Submit calculations demonstrating that 90% of these zones have direct lines of site to perimeter glazing

15. above ceiling coordination • lab consultants vs engineering designers • test and balance • list redundancy in ‘remarks’ column • Px installations and retrofits • airflow and static • 3D diagrams

16. Scripps 3030 Research Laboratory

17. wall occupancy sensors with two contacts • data visualization for Supercomputer • low grade heat off of server racks
