Zone level alarms

Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.ThermalZones.Alarms

Information

This block outputs zone alarms. The implementation is according to the ASHRAE Guideline 36, Section 5.3.6.

Zone temperature alarm

  1. High-temperature alarm
    • If the zone temperature TZon is 2 °C (3 °F) above the cooling setpoint TCooSet for 10 minutes (timChe), generate Level 3 alarm.
    • If the zone temperature TZon is 3 °C (5 °F) above the cooling setpoint TCooSet for 10 minutes (timChe), generate Level 2 alarm.
  2. Low-temperature alarm
    • If the zone temperature TZon is 2 °C (3 °F) below the heating setpoint THeaSet for 10 minutes (timChe), generate Level 3 alarm.
    • If the zone temperature TZon is 3 °C (5 °F) below the heating setpoint THeaSet for 10 minutes (timChe), generate Level 2 alarm.
  3. Suppress zone temperature alarms as follows:
    • After zone setpoint is changed per Section 5.1.20 of Guideline 36, uResSet=true.
    • While zone group is in warm-up or cooldown modes.

For zones with CO2 sensors:

Heating and cooling control loops

Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.ThermalZones.ControlLoops

Information

This block outputs the heating and cooling control loop signal. The implementation is according to the ASHRAE Guideline 36, Section 5.3.4.

  1. Two separate control loops, the cooling loop and the heating loop, shall operate to maintain space temperature at set point.
    • The heating loop shall be enabled whenever the space temperature TZon is below the current zone heating setpoint temperature THeaSet and disabled when space temperature is above the current zone heating setpoint temperature and the loop output is zero for 30 seconds. The loop may remain active at all times if provisions are made to minimize integral windup.
    • The cooling loop shall be enabled whenever the space temperature TZon is above the current zone cooling setpoint temperature TCooSet and disabled when space temperature is below the current zone cooling setpoint temperature and the loop output is zero for 30 seconds. The loop may remain active at all times if provisions are made to minimize integral windup.
  2. The cooling loop shall maintain the space temperature at the cooling setpoint. The output of the loop shall be a software point ranging from 0% (no cooling) to 100% (full cooling).
  3. The heating loop shall maintain the space temperature at the heating setpoint. The output of the loop shall be a software point ranging from 0% (no heating) to 100% (full heating).
  4. Loops shall use proportional plus integral logic or other technology with similar performance. Proportional-only control is not acceptable, although the integral gain shall be small relative to the proportional gain. P and I gains shall be adjustable by the operator.

Block outputs thermal zone cooling and heating active setpoint

Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.ThermalZones.Setpoints

Information

This sequence sets the thermal zone cooling and heating active setpoints. The implementation is according to the ASHRAE Guideline 36, Section 5.3.2. The calculation is done following the steps below.

  1. According to Guideline 36, Section 3.1.1.1, zone setpoints shall be based on zone type.
    Zone Type Occupied Unoccupied
    HeatingCooling HeatingCooling
    VAV 21 °C (70 °F) 24 °C (75 °F) 16 °C (60 °F) 32 °C (90 °F)
    Mechanical/electrical rooms 18 °C (65 °F) 29 °C (85 °F) 18 °C (65 °F) 29 °C (85 °F)
    Networking/computer 18 °C (65 °F) 24 °C (75 °F) 18 °C (65 °F) 24 °C (75 °F)

  2. Each zone shall have separate occupied and unoccupied heating and cooling setpoints.
  3. The active setpoints shall be determined by the operating mode of the zone group.
    • The setpoints shall be the occupied setpoints during occupied, warm-up, and cooldown modes.
    • The setpoints shall be the unoccupied setpoints during unoccupied, setback, and setup modes.
  4. The software shall prevent,
    • The heating setpoint from exceeding the cooling setpoint minus 0.5 °C (1 °F), i.e. the minimum difference between heating and cooling setpoint shall be 0.5 °C (1 °F).
    • The unoccupied heating setpoint from exceeding the occupied heating setpoint.
    • The unoccupied cooling setpoint from being less than occupied cooling setpoint.
  5. Where the zone has a local setpoint adjustment knob/button,
    • The setpoint adjustment offsets established by the occupant shall be software points that are persistent (e.g. not reset daily), but the actual offset used in control logic shall be adjusted based on limits and modes as described below.
    • The adjustment shall be capable of being limited in software.
      1. As a default, the active occupied cooling setpoint shall be limited between 22 °C (72 °F) and 27 °C (80 °F);
      2. As a default, the active occupied heating setpoint shall be limited between 18 °C (65 °F) and 22 °C (72 °F);
    • The active heating and cooling setpoint shall be independently adjustable, respecting the limits and anti-overlap logic described above. If zone thermostat provides only a single setpoint adjustment, then the adjustment shall move both the same amount, within the limits described above.
    • The adjustment shall only affect occupied setpoints in occupied mode, warm-up mode and cool-down mode and shall have no impact on setpoints in all other modes.
    • At the onset of demand limiting, the local setpoint adjustment value shall be frozen. Further adjustment of the setpoint by local controls shall be suspended for the duration of the demand limit event.
  6. Cooling demand limit setpoint adjustment. The active cooling setpoints for all zones shall be increased when a demand limit is imposed on the associated zone group. The operator shall have the ability to exempt individual zones from this adjustment through the normal Building Automation System (BAS) user interface. Changes due to demand limits are not cumulative.
    • At Demand Limit Level 1, increase setpoint by 0.5 °C (1 °F).
    • At Demand Limit Level 2, increase setpoint by 1 °C (2 °F).
    • At Demand Limit Level 3, increase setpoint by 2 °C (4 °F).
  7. Heating demand limit setpoint adjustment. The active heating setpoints for all zones shall be decreased when a demand limit is imposed on the associated zone group. The operator shall have the ability to exempt individual zones from this adjustment through the normal BAS user interface. Changes due to demand limits are not cumulative.
    • At Demand Limit Level 1, decrease setpoint by 0.5 °C (1 °F).
    • At Demand Limit Level 2, decrease setpoint by 1 °C (2 °F).
    • At Demand Limit Level 3, decrease setpoint by 2 °C (4 °F).
  8. Window switches. For zones that have operable windows with indicator switches, when the window switch indicates the window is open, the heating setpoint shall be temporarily set to 4 °C (40 °F) and the cooling setpoint shall be temporarily set to 49 °C (120 °F). When the window switch indicates the window is open during other than Occupied Mode, a Level 4 alarm shall be generated.
  9. Occupancy sensor
    • When the switch indicates the space has been unpopulated for 5 minutes continuously during the Occupied Mode, the active heating setpoint shall be decreased by 0.5 °C (1 °F) and the cooling setpoint shall be increased by 0.5 °C (1 °F).
    • When the switch indicated that the space has been populated for 1 minute continuously, the active heating and cooling setpoints shall be restored to their previously values.
  10. Hierarchy of setpoint adjustments: the following adjustment restrictions shall prevail in order from highest to lowest priority.
    1. Setpoint overlap restriction
    2. Absolute limits on local setpoint adjustment
    3. Window swtiches
    4. Demand limit (a. Occupancy sensors; b. Local setpoint adjustment)
    5. Scheduled setpoints based on zone group mode

Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.ThermalZones.ZoneStates

Information

Block that outputs the zone state. It first checks if the zone is in heating state; if not, it checks if the zone is in cooling state; otherwise it is in deadband state.

These states are defined in Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.Types.ZoneStates.

The logic of the block is as follows.

  1. The zone state is heating when both of the following two conditions are satisfied: (i) The heating control signal satisfies uHea > uHigh, where uHigh is a parameter, and (ii) the following condition is satisfied uHea - uCoo > uLow, where uCoo is the cooling control signal and uLow is a parameter. The second condition is used to avoid errors when uHea > 0 and uCoo > 0 at the same time.
  2. The zone state is cooling when the zone state is not heating and the cooling control signal satisfies uCoo > uHigh, where uHigh is a parameter. If uCoo < uLow, then the zone state is not cooling.
  3. The zone state is deadband when it is neither in heating state nor in cooling state.
