Variable air volume flow system with terminal reheat and ASHRAE 2006 control sequence serving five thermal zones

Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.ASHRAE2006

Information

This model consist of an HVAC system is a variable air volume (VAV) flow system with economizer and a heating and cooling coil in the air handler unit. There is also a reheat coil and an air damper in each of the five zone inlet branches. The figure below shows the schematic diagram of an HVAC system that supplies 5 zones:

image

See the model Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.PartialHVAC for a description of the HVAC system.

The control is an implementation of the control sequence VAV 2A2-21232 of the Sequences of Operation for Common HVAC Systems (ASHRAE, 2006). In this control sequence, the supply fan speed is modulated based on the duct static pressure. The return fan controller tracks the supply fan air flow rate. The duct static pressure set point is adjusted so that at least one VAV damper is 90% open. The heating coil valve, outside air damper, and cooling coil valve are modulated in sequence to maintain the supply air temperature set point. The economizer control provides the following functions: freeze protection, minimum outside air requirement, and supply air cooling, see Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.Controls.Economizer. The controller of the terminal units tracks the room air temperature set point based on a "dual maximum with constant volume heating" logic, see Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.Controls.RoomVAV.

There is also a finite state machine that transitions the mode of operation of the HVAC system between the modes occupied, unoccupied off, unoccupied night set back, unoccupied warm-up and unoccupied pre-cool. In the VAV model, all air flows are computed based on the duct static pressure distribution and the performance curves of the fans. Local loop control is implemented using proportional and proportional-integral controllers, while the supervisory control is implemented using a finite state machine.

A similar model but with a different control sequence can be found in Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.Guideline36.

Model of a floor of the building

Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.Floor

Information

Model of a floor that consists of five thermal zones.

The five room model is representative of one floor of the new construction medium office building for Chicago, IL, as described in the set of DOE Commercial Building Benchmarks (Deru et al, 2009). There are four perimeter zones and one core zone. The envelope thermal properties meet ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2004. The thermal room model computes transient heat conduction through walls, floors and ceilings and long-wave radiative heat exchange between surfaces. The convective heat transfer coefficient is computed based on the temperature difference between the surface and the room air. There is also a layer-by-layer short-wave radiation, long-wave radiation, convection and conduction heat transfer model for the windows. The model is similar to the Window 5 model and described in TARCOG 2006.

Each thermal zone can have air flow from the HVAC system, through leakages of the building envelope (except for the core zone) and through bi-directional air exchange through open doors that connect adjacent zones. The bi-directional air exchange is modeled based on the differences in static pressure between adjacent rooms at a reference height plus the difference in static pressure across the door height as a function of the difference in air density. Infiltration is a function of the flow imbalance of the HVAC system.

Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.Guideline36 Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.Guideline36

Variable air volume flow system with terminal reheat and Guideline 36 control sequence serving five thermal zones

Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.Guideline36

Information

This model consist of an HVAC system is a variable air volume (VAV) flow system with economizer and a heating and cooling coil in the air handler unit. There is also a reheat coil and an air damper in each of the five zone inlet branches.

See the model Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.PartialHVAC for a description of the HVAC system.

The control is based on ASHRAE Guideline 36, and implemented using the sequences from the library Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36 for multi-zone VAV systems with economizer. The figures below shows the schematic diagram and controls of an HVAC system that supplies 5 zones:

image

A similar model but with a different control sequence can be found in Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.ASHRAE2006. Note that this model, because of the frequent time sampling, has longer computing time than Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.ASHRAE2006. The reason is that the time integrator cannot make large steps because it needs to set a time step each time the control samples its input.

Extends from Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.PartialHVAC (Partial model of variable air volume flow system with terminal reheat that serves five thermal zones).

Partial model of variable air volume flow system with terminal reheat that serves five thermal zones

Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.BaseClasses.PartialHVAC

Information

This partial model consist of an HVAC system that serves multiple thermal zones.

The HVAC system is a variable air volume (VAV) flow system with economizer and a heating and cooling coil in the air handler unit. There is also a reheat coil and an air damper in each of the zone inlet branches. The figure below shows the schematic diagram of an HVAC system that supplies 5 zones:

The control sequences for this HVAC system are added in the two models that extend this model, namely Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.ASHRAE2006 and Buildings.Examples.VAVReheat.Guideline36.
