Presentation Transcript

  1. Today: 12:30 p.m.Avaya Auditorium, ACES Building 2.302

  2. Energy Plus & Open Studio Class • Tuesday (November 20), 5:45 PM • Computer lab ECJ 3.402 • Instructor: Wesley Cole

  3. Lecture Objectives: • Review the midterm exam • Project related topics: • Discuss the HVAC system configuration in eQUEST • Discuss the life cycle cost analysis • Learn about empirical modeling

  4. HVAC systems in eQUEST

  5. What are the reasons for energy simulations? • System Development (research) • Building design (evaluate different design solutions) • Economic benefits • Budget planning

  6. Life Cycle Cost Analysis • Engineering economics

  7. Parameters in life cycle cost analysis Beside energy benefits expressed in $, you should consider: • First cost • Maintenance • Operation life • Change of the energy cost • Interest (inflation) • Taxes, Discounts, Rebates, other Government measures

  8. Example • Using eQUEST analyze the benefits (energy saving and pay back period) of installing - low-e double glazed window - variable frequency drive in the school building in NYC

  9. What are the reasons for energy simulations? • System Development (research) • Building design (evaluate different design solutions) • Economic benefits • Budget planning

  10. For budget planning Empirical model Load vs. dry bulb temperature Measured for a building in Syracuse, NY Model For average year use TMY2 =835890ton hour = 10.031 106 Btu
