BUILDING INFORMATION Table 2-1: Building Geometry

The building under investigation is a 10- storey office block that is situated in London at the junction between City Road and King George Street. Of the 10 storeys, floors one to nine are open plan offices, whilst the ground floor serves as an entrance foyer. There is also a basement in the building, and a services block on the roof. Since they both lie are outside of the thermal envelope, neither and are considered in this report.

ZONING

Each floor is subdivided into distinct thermal zones. The ground floor is dominated by a large entrance zone; with facilities located in the central core, see Table 2-2. There is a void in the rear of the building, which provides service access. The upper floors follow a similar pattern; with large occupied open plan office space, surrounding services and amenities, see Figure 2-2and Table 2-3.

conduction from the buildings fabric. 3.1

CASUAL HEAT GAINS

People, lighting and equipment generate internal heat gains, calculated using CIBSE Guide A [1] for each zone totalling 24.6 kW, see Table 3-1. Though not accounted for in plant sizing, casual heat gains effectively reduce the heating requirement of the building and boiler. 3.2

SOLAR HEAT GAINS

Solar gains are not considered when assessing the building’s heating load. This is because the peak-heating load is calculated for the worst-case scenario, no solar exposure. Building form and orientation could be considered to optimise the influence of solar gains.

Reason

Comfort

The ability of the ACS to meet the variable requirements of the occupants is paramount to ensure that the workforce function effectively.

Financial

If LOB intends to retain and operate the building it would be advisable to install a more efficient ACS, as the reduced maintenance and energy costs will make the greater capital investment worthwhile.

Control

Since the cooling demand of the building varies greatly throughout the day, the ACS must be able to operate under a variable schedule. This prevents the ACS being active when it is not necessary, minimising energy use and environmental impact.

Noise Production

Noise production should adhere to an acceptable volume defined by occupants

Environmental

CO2 production and energy consumption should be minimised by selecting an efficient ACS.

Table 6-4: VAV system components

SYSTEM SELECTION Component

Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems are the most widely employed ACS in

The chiller provides a supply of chilled water to the AHU’s cooling coils

Air Handling Unit (AHU)

The AHU is the unit where air is treated. It contains the primary heating and cooling coils (powered by the boiler and chiller, controlling temperature), a steam humidifier (to control moisture content) and a large fan to circulate air though the duct network. It also contains a mixing box, which mixes fresh air with recirculated air.

VAV Terminal Units

VAV terminal units are located at each zone, where they can limit the flow rate of air passing into a specific zone (capped at 60% reduction). They also contain a fan to assist with local recirculation, and a heating coil (a legacy component from a time when energy costs were cheaper).

Room based Diffusers

The diffusers are mounted on the perimeter of occupied zones to distribute treated air to the spaces. They come in a variety of shapes, each working in a different manner, many by inducing the coanda effect.

Filters

Filters are placed in the network to remove particle based pollutants such as smoke or dust. If they were to build up it could cause decreased efficiency or health issues. An

Fans

Fans are used to move air through the duct network by increasing pressure at key points. All fans would need to be sized carefully to ensure adequate pressures to circulate air.

Table 6-5: Advantages and Disadvantages of a VAV system Advantages

Disadvantages

 Good temperature control is achieved by thermoregulatory devices in VAV terminal units

 The complex system contains numerous components, and requires substantial maintenance.

 Uneven heating or cooling requirements can be met by varying air flow rates at each zone’s VAV terminal unit. Perimeter zones will generally have a greater cooling load than core zones. (e.g. đ?‘„đ?‘œđ?‘“đ?‘“đ?‘–đ?‘?đ?‘’ > đ?‘„đ?‘?đ?‘–đ?‘&#x;đ?‘?đ?‘˘đ?‘™đ?‘Žđ?‘Ąđ?‘–đ?‘œđ?‘› )

 A large plant room must be available to house the large boilers, chiller and AHU. Sufficient void space must also be available within the ceilings of the building to accommodate the large ducts that circulate treated air.

 Very flexible system is able to accommodate any future changes in AC requirement

 Requires careful planning and design of system as well as quality commissioning to ensure it functions correctly

 Fan assisted VAV units allow for zone by zone control of air flow rates, with up to 60% throttling of the system volume flow rate minimising energy wasting.  Recirculation can be employed easily within the terminal units, improving the efficiency of the ACS.

CONTROL The ACS should be controlled via a schedule that is refined with feedback from post-occupancy evaluation.

control should also be employed, operated by occupants for real time comfort adjustments. This should be through either real or perceived control (e.g. thermostats and fan controls; or false switches).

 Excess noise could occur if the fan assisted VAV terminal units are not acoustically insulated from occupied spaces.  Implementation of fan-assisted terminal units will increase capital and maintenance costs.

 Fan assistance ensures proper mixing, preventing air dumping.  Fresh air is supplied in the system, so no additional ventilation system is required.

The three approaches predict significantly different cost and CO2 emissions. However the costs are of a comparable magnitude, implying an annual cost of ÂŁ20-40,000 for cooling. The CO2 emissions are far less coherent, with the older approach (1) predicting carbon emissions over 500% higher than the modern approach (3).

This is potentially due to the increase in renewable electricity

production since 1992, reducing the amount of CO2 produced per kWh. It would be expected that Estimation 3 would be most accurate, as it is derived from the actual building’s performance, as opposed to generic area-weighted assumptions.

The only way to evaluate expenses

accurately would be by examining the building once it is in service. (477)

Fire dampers should be installed around the openings with sufficient tolerance to allow access for maintenance and room for expansion in the heat of a fire. Pipes below 160mm internal diameter, that penetrate through the fire-separating compartments will require sleeving of noncombustible pipe, see Figure 9-6.

LOCATION OF FIRE-FIGHTING SERVCES

Hydrants, hoses, risers and sprinklers must be suitably placed to assist fire fighters in time of need. Fire mains with valves must be installed within the building so that fire fighters can connect hoses for water rapidly. The fire fighting shafts and necessary escape stairs must be equipped with fire mains. The mains can be ‘dry’ type due to the building being less than Figure 9-7: ground floor sprinkler system

50m tall. A sprinkler system must be installed throughout the building since it is taller than 30m. These systems ensure occupant safety and reduce fire damage. Table 9-5 sets out the standards for a sprinkler system, and Figures 9-7 and 9-8 shows an appropriate configuration for the building.

FIREFIGHTING LIFTS Starting Values

Fire-fighting lifts are a requirement for the transportation of the disabled in the event of a fire. These lifts must be situated within the fire-fighting shaft enclosed by a fire resistant structure that also contains stairs. All buildings with over 900m^2 must have two fire-fighting lifts installed. However if a sprinkler system is in place, one lift is sufficient, providing the entire floor area is within 60m of the lift shaft. [16]. 10.3
