Golden rules of Comfort and energy efficiency By Daikin Europe N.V.
Agenda A. Golden rules of comfort • Thermal comfort • Acoustic comfort B. Golden rules of energy efficiency • What do we consume? • How to improve ? • Energy performance of buildings directive Consulting Sales Department
A. Golden rules of comfort • Thermal sensation of a human being is mainly related to the thermal balance of its body as a whole • This balance is influenced by : Environmental parameters Personal factors DISCOMFORT COMFORT Consulting Sales Department
Personal factors • Depend on : • Activity level • Clothing thermal insulation of the person 1 met = 58 W/m2 1 clo = 0,155 m2K/W Consulting Sales Department
Environmental parameters -solar infiltration -occupants -electric appliances -lighting Air temperature Influenced by Air humidity Air velocity Influenced by the ventilation system Air quality Consulting Sales Department
Thermalexchange Wall temperature Air temperature Air velocity Radiation Humidity Metabolism Ingestion food Clothing PMV determination (ISO 7730) General thermal comfort of the body can be calculated via the PMV : Predicted Mean Vote. PMV takes in consideration: • Body temperature and energy balance • Metabolic rate • Activity rate Consulting Sales Department
Comfort problems Are mainly related to: • Incorrect temperature • Bad humidity • Draught • Bad air quality • Noise Consulting Sales Department
Comfort solutions Are mainly related to: • Temperature control • Humidity control • Correct air distribution • Air filters • Noiseless equipment Air conditioning Consulting Sales Department
Problem 1: high indoor temperature Consulting Sales Department
Comfort zone Maximum comfort zone Temperature (°C) Relative humidity (%) Solution : control of temperature set point • Optimize temperature set point • Limit the difference between the ambient temperature and indoor temperature to maximum 8°C. Ideally, ΔT maxi = 5°C in cooling mode Consulting Sales Department
VRV system Conventional A/C +/_ 0.5C Cooling mode with VRV System: Solution: even temperature Consulting Sales Department
Problem 2: large vertical temperature difference • Stratification causes cold feet / warm head effect T°ceiling Temperature scale (°C) 1,1 m 10 cm We have to limit the vertical temperature stratification to: ΔT=3°C maxi Consulting Sales Department
Occupation zone Solution: even air distribution • Optimized air velocity parameters in the Occupation Zone Consulting Sales Department
Solution: remote sensors The remote sensor KRCS01-1: Max.15 m • Located in a representative place • Not exposed to sun • Not in the A/C air stream • Not close to heat sources : PC, printers, fax, … When fresh air is introduced through the IU, it is mandatory. Consulting Sales Department
Optimum zone Bacteria Virus Moulds House dust mite Respiratory allergy Asthma and rhinitis Chemical interaction Ozone production Relative humidity (%) Problem 3: bad humidity control • RH too low (< 30%) : • Increase of electrostatic energy • Increase of dust concentration • RH too high (> 70%) : Consulting Sales Department
Refrigerant Valve Solution: VKM with humidifier Humidifier Humidifier Element :VKM-GMV1 Only Consulting Sales Department
Problem 4 : draught • Heat loss from skin caused by draught is dependent on : • Average air velocity • Turbulence in the airflow • Air Temperature • Fluctuation of skin T° • Prediction of dissatisfaction :Draught rating (DR) Consulting Sales Department
Solution: correct zoning and air distribution GOOD BAD 1 2 3 Consulting Sales Department
Highvelocity Low velocity Cold feet Solution: correct sizing of the diffusers • How to avoid draft : • Increase air velocity by reducing size of diffuser • Use the Coanda Effect Consulting Sales Department

Solution: correct unit for the correct application NEW • 5 possible angles from 0 to 60° • 30° for cooling mode • 45° for heating 360 radial round flow: enables uniform air flow distribution Consulting Sales Department
Problem 5: bad Indoor Air Quality Discomfort may occur when : • Lack of fresh air • Lack of filtration • Lack of maintenance of filters The ventilation system in my building doesn’t provide me the expected comfort Dissatisfied persons (%) 1 Decipol is corresponding to the contamination produced by one standard person under a ventilation airflow of 10 l/s of fresh air not contaminated. Perceived air quality Consulting Sales Department
Solution: fresh air equipment and correct filters • VAM / VKM 2 • 1) Standard : prefilter G3 • 2) Option : High efficiency filter F6 1 Heat exchanger Consulting Sales Department
Solution: maintenance of the filters • In industrial city, an AHU / VAM accumulates up to 7Kg of dust/ y Once a year, clean the long life filter (VAM example) Pay attention to filter access when installing. Consulting Sales Department
Problem 6: noise Sound pressure level Sound pressure Consulting Sales Department
Sound pressure Sound power Sound pressure & sound power Sound pressure Sound power The sound pressure that we hear is dependant on the distance from the source and the acoustic environment in which sound waves are present Consulting Sales Department
Threshold of pain Sound pressure Lp (dB) Sound pressure level (dB) Threshold of audibility Frequency Frequency (Hz) Noise rating NR: a more realistic acoustic notion The sensitivity of the human ear is variable according to the frequency Consulting Sales Department
Solution: correct unit for the correct application 35 Class 71, 40 33 Class 25 32 Class 20, 25 31 Class 32 29 Class 20 28 Class 20 Class 20 25 1.5 m Sound pressure level dB(A)* *At low ventilation Consulting Sales Department
Solution: Optimize the noise level of some Daikin IU Problem Noise increase if pattern Solution Adapt air flow setting FXZQ Problem Gurgling Solution: New expansion valve FXAQ FXLQ Problem Noise for HotelsSolution New expansion valve Do not use if Noise is 1 of the biggest issues Install the unit in a technical room FXMQ Consulting Sales Department

General guideline for optimal comfort • Temperature control : • Ambient temperature from 20 to 28°C • Sensor Representative location • Humidity control : • If too low, evaporation increases Mini 35% • If too high, molds generation Maxi 65% • Air movement : • Air velocity V < 0,2 m/s • Turbulence avoid by correct location of IU • Air cleaning : • Filtration Minimum air filtration required • Maintenance clean/change filter regularly Consulting Sales Department
B. Golden rules of energy • What do we consume? • How to improve ? • Optimize thermal loads • Daikin optimized energy consumption • Energy performance of buildings directive Consulting Sales Department
What do we consume ? • Example of building applications Electrical consumption in big office building Electrical consumption in small office building Air treatment = 41% CoolingFans, pumpsHumidificationLightingEquipmentsKitchenMiscellaneous CoolingFans, pumpsLightingEquipmentsKitchenMiscellaneous Consulting Sales Department
Optimized load • Decrease sun effect : • By external protections • By internal protections • Double glazing (20% reduction) • Adequate orientation • Insulate the walls Consulting Sales Department

Energy performance of buildings - Directive 2002/91/EC • Objective : Improvement of Energy Performance of Buildings BUT taking into account: • Thermal comfort in winter and summer conditions • Air quality • Visual comfort • Date of compliance : 04 January 2006Note: EPD does not impose to use CEN procedures. No delay is allowed when certain CEN procedures are not available Risk of wide range of national procedures. Consulting Sales Department
Energy performance of buildings - Directive 2002/91/EC • Methodology of calculation is done on national or regional level • Based on following general framework: • (a) Thermal characteristics of the building (b) Heating installation and hot water supply, including insulation characteristics (c) Air-conditioning installation (d) Ventilation (e) Built in lighting installation (f) Position and orientation of buildings, including outdoor climate (g) Passive solar systems & solar protection (h) Natural ventilation (I) Indoor climatic conditions, including the designed indoor climate Consulting Sales Department
Energy performance of buildings - Directive 2002/91/EC • Positive influence of the following aspects shall be taken into account (a) Heating and electricity systems based on renewable energy sources (e.g. solar) (b) Electricity produced by CHP (c) District or block and cooling systems (d) Natural lighting Consulting Sales Department
