Book excerpt: This document summarizes a research effort on demand controlled ventilation and classroom ventilation. The research on demand controlled ventilation included field studies and building energy modeling. Major findings included:? The single-location carbon dioxide sensors widely used for demand controlled ventilation frequently have large errors and will fail to effectively control ventilation rates (VRs).? Multi-location carbon dioxide measurement systems with more expensive sensors connected to multi-location sampling systems may measure carbon dioxide more accurately.? Currently-available optical people counting systems work well much of the time but have large counting errors in some situations.? In meeting rooms, measurements of carbon dioxide at return-air grilles appear to be a better choice than wall-mounted sensors.? In California, demand controlled ventilation in general office spaces is projected to save significant energy and be cost effective only if typical VRs without demand controlled ventilation are very high relative to VRs in codes. Based on the research, several recommendations were developed for demand controlled ventilation specifications in the California Title 24 Building Energy Efficiency Standards. The research on classroom ventilation collected data over two years on California elementary school classrooms to investigate associations between VRs and student illness absence (IA). Major findings included:? Median classroom VRs in all studied climate zones were below the California guideline, and 40percent lower in portable than permanent buildings.? Overall, one additional L/s per person of VR was associated with 1.6percent less IA.? Increasing average VRs in California K-12 classrooms from the current average to the required level is estimated to decrease IA by 3.4percent, increasing State attendance-based funding to school districts by $33M, with $6.2 M in increased energy costs. Further VR increases would provide additional benefits.? Confirming these findings in intervention studies is recommended.? Energy costs of heating/cooling unoccupied classrooms statewide are modest, but a large portion occurs in relatively few classrooms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ventilation rate inside a building is directly dependent on the number of occupants in the space. If we had the ability to economically count each person as they enter and exit the space, then we could provide exactly enough ventilation air to meet the needs of the quantity of people in the space. But in most buildings occupancy is not tracked in real-time and therefore finding the right balance in ventilating your building is a challenge. Most HVAC engineers and designers design ventilation system on the maximum anticipated building occupancy. This results in a waste of energy and money, due to over-ventilation during lean periods. Demand Control Ventilation (DCV) is a ventilation control strategy that provides just the right amount of outside air the humans need, and no more. This accomplishes two things. First it saves energy by not heating or cooling unnecessary quantities of outside air. Secondly, it can provide assurance that sufficient outside air is being supplied for the number of occupants present. This 4-hr course provides the framework necessary for integrating DCV into a HVAC system and includes background on ASHRAE ventilation standards. The course will take reader through the design process and calculations needed to understand, how to properly implement DCV strategy. This e-Book course is aimed at Mechanical and HVAC engineers, Architects, Building designers, Energy Auditors, Facility managers, Property & Estate managers, Operational & Maintenance Personnel, Sales & Marketing personnel, and General Audience. The course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials. Learning Objective At the conclusion of this course, the reader will understand: 1.What is demand-controlled ventilation (DCV)? 2.How is DCV different from fixed ventilation strategy? 3.Which spaces would benefit most from DCV? 4.What is CO2 based ventilation and what is the relationship between CO2 and the outside airflow rate into the space? 5.How do you determine whether your space is appropriate for DCV? 6.How to estimate the minimum ventilation rate and the base ventilation rate for non-occupant related sources? 7.What are the primary differences between the ASHRAE 62-(1989 thru 2001) standards with ASHRAE 62-2004 standard? 8.What type of CO2 sensor specifications is appropriate for the ventilation control? 9.What is the ideal location of CO2 sensors for constant volume and variable volume systems? How quantity of CO2 sensors is determined? 10.What are the commissioning requirements for CO2 based DCV? 11.What are the important design issues that need to be accounted in design of CO2 based DCV? 12.What important building codes/standards other than ASHRAE apply to DCV?

It is the invisible force that breathes life into our homes, workplaces, and public spaces, influencing our health, comfort, and overall well-being. The quality of the air we breathe indoors profoundly affects our lives, from our ability to concentrate and be productive to our susceptibility to illnesses and allergies. This book delves into the world of ventilation, unveiling its significance, principles, and applications across diverse settings. Whether you are a homeowner seeking to enhance indoor air quality, an architect striving to create sustainable buildings, or an engineer working on cutting-edge ventilation technologies, this book is a comprehensive guide to understanding, implementing, and optimizing ventilation systems. Ventilation is not a static field; it evolves in response to advancing technologies, changing environmental concerns, and the pursuit of healthier, more efficient indoor environments. In each chapter, we explore different facets of ventilation, from its role in mitigating the spread of respiratory diseases like COVID-19 to its pivotal role in green building practices aimed at reducing our carbon footprint. As we navigate the intricate world of ventilation, we emphasize best practices, emerging trends, and innovative solutions that are shaping the future of indoor environments. Whether you are seeking practical advice for improving ventilation in your home, insights into sustainable building design, or a glimpse into the technologies that will revolutionize the field, this book equips you with the knowledge to make informed decisions and contribute to creating spaces that prioritize health, comfort, and environmental responsibility. In our exploration of ventilation, we aim to illuminate the importance of this often-overlooked aspect of our daily lives. By understanding its principles and embracing best practices, we can breathe easier, work more productively, and live healthier lives in the spaces we call home, work, and play. We invite you to embark on this journey through the world of ventilation, and we hope you find the insights and knowledge within these pages both enlightening and empowering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it has been used for many years in commercial buildings, the application of demand controlled ventilation in residences is limited. In this study we used occupant exposure to pollutants integrated over time (referred to as 'dose') as the metric to evaluate the effectiveness and air quality implications of demand controlled ventilation in residences. We looked at air quality for two situations. The first is that typically used in ventilation standards: the exposure over a long term. The second is to look at peak exposures that are associated with time variations in ventilation rates and pollutant generation. The pollutant generation had two components: a background rate associated with the building materials and furnishings and a second component related to occupants. The demand controlled ventilation system operated at a low airflow rate when the residence was unoccupied and at a high airflow rate when occupied. We used analytical solutions to the continuity equation to determine the ventilation effectiveness and the long-term chronic dose and peak acute exposure for a representative range of occupancy periods, pollutant generation rates and airflow rates. The results of the study showed that we can optimize the demand controlled airflow rates to reduce the quantity of air used for ventilation without introducing problematic acute conditions.

Book excerpt: In most buildings, occupancy and indoor pollutant emission rates vary with time. With sensor-based demand-controlled ventilation (SBDCV), the rate of ventilation (i.e., rate of outside air supply) also varies with time to compensate for the changes in pollutant generation. In other words, SBDCV involves the application of sensing, feedback and control to modulate ventilation. Compared to ventilation without feedback, SBDCV offers two potential advantages: (1) better control of indoor pollutant concentrations; and (2) lower energy use and peak energy demand. SBDCV has the potential to improve indoor air quality by increasing the rate of ventilation when indoor pollutant generation rates are high and occupants are present. SBDCV can also save energy by decreasing the rate of ventilation when indoor pollutant generation rates are low or occupants are absent. After providing background information on indoor air quality and ventilation, this report provides a relatively comprehensive discussion of SBDCV. Topics covered in the report include basic principles of SBDCV, sensor technologies, technologies for controlling air flow rates, case studies of SBDCV, application of SBDCV to laboratory buildings, and research needs. SBDCV appears to be an increasingly attractive technology option. Based on the review of literature and theoretical considerations, the application of SBDCV has the potential to be cost-effective in applications with the following characteristics: (a) a single or small number of dominant pollutants, so that ventilation sufficient to control the concentration of the dominant pollutants provides effective control of all other pollutants; (b) large buildings or rooms with unpredictable temporally variable occupancy or pollutant emission; and (c) climates with high heating or cooling loads or locations with expensive energy.
