<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=578253519-02072009><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I think it makes a difference as to how it's divided
up. The difference isn't in fan consumption, but where the fan heat is
dumped. That will effect the cooling and heating loads. For example,
if all the energy were in the supply fan, that would increase supply
temperature of require the temperature off the coil to be lowered. If
it was all in the return fan, that fan energy would just end
up increasing the return temperature. I'm thinking more how that
difference affects the economizer cycle and ventilation air. I'd proportion
it out based on the relative HP's of your supply, return and exhaust fans.
Someone had a 70-20-10 split, which seems to be a good stab at
it..</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Power<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>We got a review comment on a recent LEED project asking us to break down
the baseline HVAC power into components even though there is no direction, or
requirement, from 90.1-2004 to do so.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Can someone please help me understand why this would be
necessary? </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>LEED guidelines say we have to model per Appendix G, but Appendix G doesn't
say we have to do this.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I do not think it is necessary to do this as the baseline total fan energy
consumption numbers would still be the same.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The equation in Appendix G is meant to give a total allowance (for each
system) for supply, return, and exhaust fans. It doesn't matter if we break the
allowance down into components or not as the total fan energy consumption
remains the same. Therefore, there is no value in doing this.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If we did break the fan energy numbers into components, how would we do
that given that there is no direction from ASHRAE or LEED on how to do
this?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Thoughts?</DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">This issue will start
to become a problem for anyone running energy models for LEED projects –
reviewers on the new review teams are asking to see the total fan power for
the baseline broken into individual components and reported as such in the
template for Energy and Atmosphere Credit 1. The 90.1-2004 User’s Manual
is also silent on the issue; however it raises another issue. In the
example (Example G-J on page G-28) the calculations use total building supply
CFM for an 80,000SF medical office building. Since the baseline is
System 5 in that example and there would be multiple zones for the baseline,
it appears that the equation should be used for the whole building only and
not individual systems. Is this how you are applying the formulas?
The user’s manual notes that fan powered VAV boxes are NOT included in the
total fan power number as calculated from
G3.1.2.9.<O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">You have calculated the kW/cfm
correctly according to the 2004 version of Appendix G. The allowance actually
goes up a little in 2007, for your case. As for the second part of your
question, no you do not apply the same kW/cfm to the exhaust fan. The
calculated allowed fan power the total allowed power for all fans that are
part of the system, including the exhaust fan. The cfm component is based on
the supply fan cfm only. Unfortunately, Appendix G gives no direction on how
to divide the allowed fan power up among the various fans in the system.

fan electrical power for supply, return, exhaust and relief. Lets sat I have a
zone with a PSZ-HP that has a supply volume of 1500 cfm. Using this formula
along with table G3.1.2.9 I get a fan horse power of 1.29 and kW of 1.17. This
