MODERN PRESERVATION

Several state-of-the-art HVAC design considerations and strategies were used to provide an energy efficient building that meets the Energy Code (2007 ASHRAE 90.1) requirements and achieves LEED Certification. These included:

• Night setback temperature setting to reduce energy consumption and the utilization of occupancy sensors.

• Variable volume pumping for the hot water systems to reduce the water flow rate

• Total energy recovery wheels, transferring both sensible and latent heat, precondition the outside air and reduce energy consumption.

A new chilled water supply and return piping was valved and capped in the mechanical room for connection to the forthcoming campus chilled water system.

A whole-building energy simulation was done on the Scott Barracks Renovation and Modernization project using Carrier HAP v4.61.

The energy model showed a LEED energy cost improvement of 16.2% over a baseline building design.

Utilizing the UFC 3-400-01 metric the total energy consumption savings is 38.5%.
