Optimizing the Design of VAV Systems and Chilled and Hot Water Plants

Wednesday, February 10, 2010  |  Oak Brook, IL

Presented by: Steve Taylor, P.E.


welcome

Learn how to perfect the design and control of HVAC systems. This full-day program will cover design, equipment selection and control of Variable Air Volume (VAV) systems and chilled and hot water plants. In the morning, find out about VAV system variations, supply and return design, outside air economizers, controls and more. The afternoon session focuses on distribution system options, design optimization and controls for hydronic systems.

Benefits of attending:

Attendees will learn practical tips for optimizing the design of VAV air distribution systems and hot water and chilled water plants. Attendees will be able to apply the design tips immediately to their projects with (in most cases) minimal or no additional engineering time.

As a result of this training you will be able to:

  • Prescribe the best VAV system variations for a given application
  • Specify life cost optimum VAV system components
  • Determine optimal chilled water, condenser water, and hot water supply and return temperatures
  • Optimize the control of various VAV systems to meet or exceed both ASHRAE Standard 90.1 and 62.1
  • Calculate hydronic distribution system pipe sizing and select system components based on system application and flow rates for maximum efficiency and minimum life cycle cost

Who should attend?

HVAC system designers working for mechanical consulting firms or design/build contractors, energy efficiency specialists, commissioning authorities, control system technicians, HVAC equipment manufacturer's representatives, and advanced facility engineers
