<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Can anyone please confirm/clarify how the fan power calc should be performed for the baseline model for ASHRAE 90.1- App G (with addendum ac).</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">I have an air handling system that contains a supply fan, a return fan, and a room exhaust fan. Article G3.1.2.8 states:...."if return or relief fans are specified in the proposed design, the baseline building design shall also be modeled with fans serving the same functions...." and it goes on to specify how those return and relief fans should be sized.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">My question is:</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">When determining the baseline fan power, do I only get to perform the calculation once based on the supply air cfm (plus adjustments per addendum ac for each applicable SA, RA and EA component)? And then that equals my total fan KW allowed for all the fans in the system? If this is the case, would that total fan KW then be spread across the 3 fans in a prorated fashion?</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Or, do I get to perform the calc 3 times: once for the supply fan, once for the return fan, and once for the exhaust fan....(each calc including their respective adjustments allowed for for that fan).</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Obviously, I'm hoping the answer is the latter since the other (single calc) method yields a puny total horsepower number.</DIV>
