62.1-2010 or 62.1-2013 Comply-VAV with "VAV Scheduler"©

Now available with our proprietary "VAV Scheduler"©.  Calculates VAV terminal unit capacities and associated reheat coil capacities, based on "Optimized" zone minimum air quantities and zone heating requirements.  Provides required VAV terminal data for input to manufacturer's selection programs and for ACAD VAV Terminal Unit Schedules.

Automatically adjusts minimum VAV air quantities, to assure that the supply air temp. will not be higher than 15° F above the room temperature.  (This procedure can significantly reduce required OA at the air handling unit, due to higher ventilation efficiency of supply outlets.)

NOW INCLUDES PROPRIETARY "VAV SCHEDULER"

Project Information

The "Basic Project Information" form should be the first Form to be completed for every project.  Project information that is inserted in this Form is automatically transferred to other Programs for use in calculations and for documenting project data.  (Click Image to enlarge)

Outdoor Air Requirement Calculations

The purpose of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010/-2013 is to specify the minimum ventilation rates and indoor air quality that will be acceptable to human occupants, and which is intended to minimize the potential for adverse health effects.  These Software Programs calculate the required Outdoor Air Quantity for each Air Handling System, based on Space Type/Application, Occupancy Level, and Floor Areas.  The Software Programs also include Proprietary "Optimization" procedures that can be applied to each Multiple-zone system to assure that the prescribed Outdoor Air (OA) quantities are being met while also assuring that the OA quantities are not grossly excessive.       (Click Image to enlarge)

"Optimizing" Outdoor Air Requirements

The zone that has the largest "Zone Primary Outdoor Air Fraction" is the zone that has the largest ratio of "Required Zone Outdoor Airflow" to "Minimum Airflow to the Zone". This is the "Key" zone or "Ventilation Critical" zone that determines the outdoor air requirement for the air handling unit.   The Software Programs recognize this "Key" zone and help to improve the Air Fraction Ratio for that "Ventilation Critical" zone.  The "Key" zone could then switch to a different zone, where the Air Fraction Ratio can also be improved, until the Air Handling System is "Optimized".  These procedures help to minimize the Outdoor Air requirements, while still meeting ASHRAE 62.1-2010/-2013 requirements.  They are also designed to help simplify this Optimization process.  In this small example, the Outdoor Air requirements were reduced from 6,063 CFM to 4,048 CFM in just the first step of Optimization.

"Optimization" can save significant Energy and Operating Costs over the life of a facility.

And with the new "Automatic Optimization", the Outdoor Air requirements were reduced from 6,063 CFM to a final requirement of 2,300 CFM, at the push of a button!
