HVAC SYSTEM
An HVAC system for a single unit in a multi-unit building, the multi-unit building having a riser stack wherein a closed loop fluid flow path thermally connects the HVAC system in thermal communication with the riser stack, the single unit having a first room and a second room, the HVAC system comprises a first heat exchanger in thermal communication with the closed loop fluid flow path, the first heat exchanger provides temperature modulation to the first room and a second heat exchanger in thermal communication with the closed loop fluid flow path, the second heat exchanger provides temperature modulation to the second room.
BUILDING PRESSURE CONTROL
The air flow of an HVAC system for a multi-story building B is controlled by optimizing the pressure setpoint at the return air plenum PL-1 used for removing or recirculate air from the building, by measuring a pressure differential between the building B air and atmosphere A air at a sensor location P-2, computing a desired pressure differential between the building B air and atmosphere A air, based upon a computed stack effect pressure that is expected to develop at the sensor location on the building for the current inside and outside air temperature in the absence of mechanical action, and controlling the return air fan and damper D-1 to pressurize the air in at the sensor location to produce the desired pressure differential between the building B air and atmosphere A air at the sensor P-2 location.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VISUALIZING EQUIPMENT UTILIZATION IN A CENTRAL PLANT
A system for visualizing equipment utilization in a central plant includes a subplant monitor, a subplant utilization database, and a dispatch graphical user interface (GUI) generator. The subplant monitor receives subplant utilization data including an indication of a thermal energy load served by each of a plurality of subplants of the central plant.
