EXPERT SPOTLIGHT
ENGINEERING A LEED PLATINUM URBAN SCHOOL BY RAJ SETTY, R. SCOTT PEGLER AND PANKAJ HOOGAN Founded in 1870 as the nation’s first public high school for African Americans, D.C.’s Dunbar High School trained generations of black youth for success at the highest levels of academia, government, business and the arts. After falling into disrepair in the late 20th century, the new century saw D.C. raise over $100 million to set the school on a new footing. Opened in 2013, the new 276,536 SF Dunbar High School includes stateof-the-art sustainable features such as an 850-Ton geothermal well, a 480 kW roof-mounted solar panel array, a 20,000 gallon capacity rainwater cistern system, and an educational kiosk displaying live updates of the building’s energy savings, all features that enabled the school to become the first ever to earn more than 90 LEED credits under the LEED BD+C: Schools v3 (2009) standard, far exceeding the minimum threshold for LEED Platinum certification. It was Setty’s honor to serve alongside Perkins Eastman Architects and SK&A Structural Engineers as the principal MEP/FP engineer for this historic project.

TOWARD FULLY FUNCTIONAL NET-ZERO-ENERGY BUILDINGS: AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE BY BOGGARM S. SETTY, P.E., FELLOW ASHRAE From the time fire was discovered and humans inhabited enclosed shelters, a need to burn natural resources was recognized for the basic requirements of survival: heating, cooking, lighting, and security. Soon after, the need to ventilate the enclosures for health and safety was discovered. Also from that time, it was realized that to meet these needs, depletion of natural resources would occur. Throughout history, the tension between providing basic needs and conserving natural resources has resulted in local, national, and international problems such as energy shortages, economic depressions, and wars. This tension also has resulted in opportunities to improve well-being and productivity through the discovery and application of steam engines, electricity, and refrigeration in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the evolution of transportation, large buildings, urban centers and information technologies in the 20th and 21st centuries. The purpose of this article, available in full on SETTY’s website, is to provide guidance to those now attempting to balance this tension through the design and operation of buildings that “meet the needs and aspirations of the present without compromising the ability to meet those of the future.” Passive Occupants systems

NET ZERO BUILDING
This authoritative report analyses the current concept of the “net-zero energy building” for consistency with the Laws of Thermodynamics and other engineering principles in order to describe a design approach toward achieving site-specific net-zero energy buildings (NEZB) that is consistent with the laws of physics and that respects constraints imposed by other high performance building attributes. Three specific issues were analysed from an engineering perspective: 1) the concept and objectives of “net-zero energy buildings” (NZEB) with an emphasis on commercial buildings and special focus on educational facilities and office buildings; 2) engineering means and methods to achieve these conceptual objectives; and 3) examples of evidence-based results in achieving “net-zero energy” educational facilities and office buildings.

HOSPITALITY JEFFERSON HOTEL, COMMISSIONING SERVICES, WASHINGTON, DC This renovation of a historic hotel on 16th and M Street entailed a complete MEP gut and re-configuration of the hotel rooms and incorporation of a new bar, fitness centre and a four star restaurant. The commissioning effort focused on the hotel room units which were experiencing severe heating and cooling issues. Dozens of room units were sampled until a definite pattern emerged establishing the problem. The units were set in closets and there was no ducting from the supply and return ducts. The units were short cycling within their closets. Without successful commissioning efforts the hotel would not have opened on time. There were also issues with the hot water distribution that were solved through the commissioning process. The hotel is currently open. The basic scope of work included the following: The facility is 180,000 sf. Our basic scope of work included: Commissioned and reviewed of mechanical systems on the first and basement floors. Commissioned and reviewed 10% of the 100 guest rooms on various floors. Reviewed the MEP contract documents for clarity and completeness for the requirements and components relating to the systems that were commissioned.

CASE STUDY
TOTAL BUILDING COMMISSIONING: CASE STUDY OF THE U.S. DISTRICT COURTHOUSE IN SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH BOGGARM S. SETTY, P.E., FELLOW ASHRAE Abstract Principles and procedures of Total Building Commissioning (Cx) are presented as a case study of the U.S. District Courthouse, which is being constructed in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, as a design-bid-build project. This 10-story building has a floor area of approximately 357,000 gross square feet. The total cost of the project is around $186 million. This case study focuses on commissioning of several systems during the design phase, and partial commissioning of the envelope system, which was the only system available for performance testing during the early stage of construction. Findings and conclusions are presented regarding performance enhancements of several systems attributable to commissioning during the design phase, and performance testing of the envelope system during the early construction stage. Introduction: Most buildings, if not commissioned, tend to operate ineffectively in meeting the owner’s functional requirements, and typically consume excessive amounts of energy. During the past 10 years, commissioning guidelines and standards have been developed for specific operating systems such as HVAC and building enclosures. To assure a high standard of excellence, the Public Buildings Service (PBS) of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) requires a Cx Process for quality delivery in new construction and facility modernization. This project has been selected as a “case study” as it exemplifies many of the issues that must be overcome to achieve a successful Cx.

Findings:
A. Findings from Design Reviews and Early Construction Field Testing For this case study, which focuses on the envelope and MEP system performance, the following enhancements resulted OPR Criteria for Commissioning the Systems were Incorporated into the Drawings and Specifications Enabled Coordination Sensor-controller-controlled Devices for the HVAC Control System were Identified on the Drawings at the Request of the CxA Pre-functional and Functional Performance Requirements were Determined in the Early Stages of Design For the Envelope System, Water Leakage and Air Infiltration Criteria were Incorporated into Project Drawings and Specifications CxA Reviews of the Design Documentation Resulted in Recommendations to the Design Team for Cost-effective Performance Enhancements B. Mock-up Tests for the Envelope System Two sets of Mock-up Tests were Conducted on Envelope System August 23, 2011: Fabrication of the Unitized Curtain Wall Panels were Observed by the CxA, with Specific Concern for Seals that would be Concealed when the Mock-up is Constructed September 9, 2011: Mock-up of the Envelope was Observed by the CxA, with Particular Focus on the Quality of the Splice Joints and Terminations of the Curtain Wall Assembly C. On-site Test Method for Envelope System Water Leakage Testing was Conducted in Accordance with ASTM E 1105-00 (Re-Approved 2008). The OPR and Procedures for Air Leakage Testing had not been Determined and Air Leakage Testing has not been Conducted. In Accordance with the ASTM Criteria to 0.2.5 CFM/sq ft of Fenestration.

Conclusions Successful Total Building Commissioning (Cx) is highly dependent on the clarity and timeliness of the criteria and procedures that are defined in the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR). The 10-year gap from start of initial design to start of construction was an impediment to the Cx process in this case study. Cx is more than a design process. Commissioning of the physical systems to pre-set criteria at the onset and duration of construction is critical to successful building performance. Credible qualitative and quantitative evaluation and testing early in the construction process informs the designconstruction team and enables improved quality control during and after construction.
