Freeze protection sequence for multizone air handling unit
Information
Freeze protection sequence for multizone AHU system. It is developed based on Section
5.16.12 of ASHRAE Guideline 36, May 2020.
-
If the supply air temperature
TAirSup
drops below 4.4 °C (40 °F)
for 5 minutes, send two (or more, as required to ensure that heating plant is active,
minHotWatReq
) heating hot-water plant requests, override the outdoor
air damper to the minimum position, and modulate the heating coil to maintain a suppy
air temperature of at least 6 °C (42 °F).
Disable this function when supply air temperature rises above 7 °C (45 °F) for
5 minutes.
-
If the supply air temperature
TAirSup
drops below 3.3 °C (38 °F)
for 5 minutes, fully close both the economizer damper and the minimum outdoor air
damper for 1 hour and set a Level 3 alarm noting that minimum ventilation was
interrupted. After 1 hour, the unit shall resume minimum outdoor air ventilation
and enter the previous stage of freeze protection.
-
If it is warm enough that the supply air temperature rises above 7 °C (45 °F)
with minimum ventilation, the unit will remain in Stage 1 freeze protection for 5
minutes then resume normal operation.
-
Upon signal from the freeze-stat (if installed),
or if supply air temperature drops below 3.3 °C (38 °F) for 15 minutes or
below 1 °C (34 °F) for 5 minutes, shut down supply and return (or relief)
fan(s), close outdoor air damper, open the cooling-coil valve to 100%, and energize
the CHW pump system. Also send two (or more, as required to ensure that heating plant
is active,
minHotWatReq
) heating hot-water plant requests,
modulate the heating coil to maintain the higher of the supply air temperature or
the mixed air temperature at 27 °C (80 °F), and set a Level 2 alarm indicating
the unit is shut down by freeze protection.
-
If a freeze-protection shutdown is triggered by a low air temperature sensor reading,
it shall remain in effect until it is reset by a software switch from the operator's
workstation. (If a freeze-stat with a physical reset switch is used instead, there
shall be no software reset switch.)

Relief damper control for AHUs using actuated dampers without fan
Information
Sequence for controlling actuated relief damper yRelDam
for AHUs using
actuated relief damper without a fan.
It is implemented according to Section 5.16.8 of ASHRAE Guideline G36, May 2020.
-
Relief dampers shall be enabled when the associated supply fan is proven on

u1SupFan = true
), and disabled otherwise.
-
When enabled, use a P-only control loop to modulate relief dampers to maintain building
static pressure
dpBui
at its setpoint, which is by defaul
12 Pa (0.05 inchWC).
-
Close damper when disabled.

Sequence for controling relief fan that is part of AHU. It is developed based on
Section 5.16.9 of ASHRAE Guideline 36, May 2020, with the modification to accommodate
the single relief fan control.
-
The relief fan shall be enabled when the AHU supply fan is proven ON
(
u1SupFan=true
), and shall be disabled otherwise.
-
Building static pressure (
dpBui
) shall be time averaged with a sliding
5-minute window and 15 second sampling rate (to dampen fluctuations). The average
value shall be that displayed and used for control.
-
A P-only control loop maintains the building pressure at a set point (
dpBuiSet
)
of 12 Pa (0.05 in. of water) with an output ranging from 0% to 100%. The loop is disabled
and output set to zero when the relief fan is disabled.
-
Fan speed shall be equal to the PID signal but no less than the minimum speed.
-
When relief system is enabled, and the control loop
output is above 5%, open the motorized dampers to the relief fans;
close the dampers when the loop output drops to 0% for 5 minutes.
-
When the control loop output is above minimum speed (
relFanSpe_min
) plus 15%
by 7 minutes, start the relief fan.
-
When the control loop output is below minimum speed (
relFanSpe_min
)
by 5 minutes, shut off the relief fan.

Sequence for controlling relief fan group
Information
Sequence for controlling group of relief fans and their dampers for AHUs using actuated
relief dampers with relief fan(s). It is developed based on Section 5.16.9 of ASHRAE
Guideline 36, May 2020.
-
All operating relief fans that serve a common or shared air volume shall be grouped
and controlled as if they were one system, running at the same speed and using the same
control loop, even if they are associated with different AHUs.
-
A relief fan shall be enabled when its associated supply fan is proven ON
(
u1SupFan=true
), and shall be disabled otherwise.
-
Building static pressure (
dpBui
) shall be time averaged with a sliding
5-minute window and 15 second sampling rate (to dampen fluctuations). The average
value shall be that displayed and used for control.
-
A P-only control loop maintains the building pressure at a set point (
dpBuiSet
)
of 12 Pa (0.05 in. of water) with an output ranging from 0% to 100%. The loop is disabled
and output set to zero when all fans in the relief system group are disabled.
-
Fan speed signal to all operating fans in the relief system group shall be the same
and shall be equal to the PID signal but no less than the minimum speed. Except for
Stage 0, discharge dampers of all relief fans shall be open only when fan is commanded
ON.
-
Stage 0 (barometric relief). When relief system is enabled, and the control loop
output is above 5%, open the motorized dampers to all relief fans serving the relief
system group that are enabled; close the dampers when the loop output drops to 0% for
5 minutes.
-
Stage Up. When control loop output is above minimum speed (
relFanSpe_min
)
plus 15%, start stage-up timer. Each time the timer reaches 7 minutes, start the next
relief fan (and open the associated damper) in the relief system group, per staging order,
and reset the timer to 0. The timer is reset to 0 and frozen if control loop is below minimum
speed plus 15%. Note, when staging from Stage 0 (no relief fans) to Stage 1 (one relief
fan), the discharge dampers of all nonoperating relief fans must be closed.
-
Stage Down. When PID loop is below minimum speed (
relFanSpe_min
), start stage-down
timer. Each time the timer reaches 5 minutes, shut off lag fan per staging order and
reset the timer to 0. The timer is reset to 0 and frozen if PID loop rises above minimum
speed or all fans are OFF. If all fans are OFF, go to Stage 0 (all dampers open and all
fans OFF).
-
For fans in a Level 2 alarm and status is OFF, discharge damper shall be closed when
is above Stage 0.

Return fan control with direct building pressure control
Information
Setpoint for return fan discharge pressure and relief air damper
for a multi zone VAV AHU according to Section 5.16.10 of ASHRAE Guideline G36, May 2020.
Note that this sequence assumes that the AHU units with return fan having the
return fan with direct building pressure control have the minimum outdoor air damper.
-
Return fan operates whenever associated supply fan is proven on and is
off otherwise.
-
Return fan is controlled to maintain return fan discharge static pressure
at setpoint dpBuiSet
.
-
Relief damper is only enabled when the associated supply and return
fans are proven on (u1SupFan=true
) and the minimum outdoor air damper is open
(to be controlled in a separate sequence).
The relief dampers is closed when the fan is disabled.
-
The building static pressure is time averaged with a sliding 5-minute window
to dampen fluctuations. The averaged value shall be displayed and is used
for control.
-
When the relief damper is enabled, a control loop modulates the relief damper
in sequence with the return fan static pressure setpoint as shown in the figure
below to maintain the building pressure equal to dpBuiSet
,
which is by default 12 Pa (0.05 inches).
The output signal of the building pressure control is as follows:
-
From 0 to 0.5, the building pressure control loop modulates the exhaust
dampers from
yRelDam = 0
(closed) to yRelDam = 1
(open).
-
From 0.5 to 1, the building pressure control loop resets the return fan
discharge static pressure setpoint from
p_rel_RetFan_min
to p_rel_RetFan_max
. The p_rel_RetFan_min
and
p_rel_RetFan_max
are specified in Section 3.2.1.4.

Multizone VAV AHU supply air temperature control loop and coil valves position
Information
Block that outputs the supply temperature control loop signal,
and the coil valve postions for VAV system with multiple zones,
implemented according to Section 5.16.2.3 of the ASHRAE Guideline G36, May 2020.
The supply air temperature control loop signal uTSup
is computed using a PI controller that tracks the supply air temperature
setpoint TSupSet
.
If the fan is off, then uTSup = 0
.
Heating valve control signal (or modulating electric heating
coil if applicable) yHeaCoi
and cooling valve control signal yCooCoi
are sequenced based on the supply air temperature control loop signal uTSup
.
From uTSup = uHea_max
to uTSup = -1
,
yHeaCoi
increases linearly from 0 to 1.
Similarly, uTSup = uCoo_min
to uTSup = +1
,
yCooCoi
increases linearly from 0 to 1.
The output uTSup
can be used in a controller for the economizer.

Supply air temperature setpoint for multi zone system
Information
Block that outputs the supply air temperature setpoint and the coil valve control
inputs for VAV system with multiple zones, implemented according to Section 5.16.2 of
the ASHRAE Guideline G36, May 2020.
The control loop is enabled when the supply air fan u1SupFan
is proven on,
and disabled and the output set to deadband (no heating, minimum economizer) otherwise.
The supply air temperature setpoint is computed as follows.
Setpoints for TSupCoo_min
, TSupCoo_max
,
TOut_min
, TOut_max
Per Section 3.1.4.1, the setpoints are design information.
-
The
TSupCoo_min
should be set no lower than the design coil leaving air
temperature to prevent excessive chilled water temperature reset requests.
-
The
TSupCoo_max
is typically 18 °C (65 °F) in mild and dry climates
and 16 °C (60 °F) or lower in humid climates. It should not typically be
greater than 18 °C (65 °F).
-
The default range of outdoor air temperature (
TOut_min=16°C
,
TOut_max=21°C
) used to reset the occupied mode TSupSet
was chosen to maximize economizer hours. It may be preferable to use a lower
range of outdoor air temperature (e.g. TOut_min=13°C
,
TOut_max=18°C
) to minimize fan energy.
During occupied and Setup modes (uOpeMod=1
, uOpeMod=2
)
The TSupSet
shall be reset from TSupCoo_min
when the outdoor
air temperature is TOut_max
and above, proportionally up to
maximum supply temperature when the outdoor air temperature is TOut_min
and
below. The maximum supply temperature shall be reset using trim and respond logic between
TSupCoo_min
and TSupCoo_max
. Parameters suggested for the
trim and respond logic are shown in the table below. They require adjustment
during the commissioning and tuning phase.
Variable | Value | Definition |
Device | AHU Supply Fan | Associated device |
SP0 | iniSet | Initial setpoint |
SPmin | TSupCoo_min | Minimum setpoint |
SPmax | TSupCoo_max | Maximum setpoint |
Td | delTim | Delay timer |
T | samplePeriod | Time step |
I | numIgnReq | Number of ignored requests |
R | uZonTemResReq | Number of requests |
SPtrim | triAmo | Trim amount |
SPres | resAmo | Respond amount |
SPres_max | maxRes | Maximum response per time interval |
During Cool-down modes (uOpeMod=3
)
Supply air temperature setpoint TSupSet
shall be TSupCoo_min
.
During Setback and Warmup modes (uOpeMod=4
, uOpeMod=5
)
Supply air temperature setpoint TSupSet
shall be TSupWarUpSetBac
.
