Thank you so much for reviewing the model. Since I am not familiar with energy
performance of different terminal boxes was wondering if my selection was
correct. The mechanical drawings include diagram bellow for VAV terminal and a
schedule titled “Fan Powered Terminal unit Schedule” that marks DTQS as the
model of terminal boxes. Manufacturer’s (Titus) literature indicates DTQS as a Digital
Series Fan Powered Terminal and very energy efficient.</span></p>

if selecting Series PIU is a correct selection for the proposed terminal. If
yes, then my second question would be the energy performance of Series PIU
terminals vs Std VAV terminals. Keeping everything equal, when I change terminal
types from Std VAV to Series PIU the annual energy costs increase, which
indicates Std VAV terminal is more energy efficient than Series PIU terminal. Is
this correct?</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;line-height:normal;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><br></span></p>

You may need to change that as well as changing the terminal units. I don’t think any of us can say make a universal statement that FPTUs are more or less efficient than plain VAVs. There are a lot of variables there including climate, fan system power,
hours of operation, set back behavior, type and efficiency of the heating source, etc, etc.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

Thank you so much for reviewing the model. Since I am not familiar with energy performance of different terminal boxes was wondering if my selection was correct. The mechanical drawings include diagram bellow for VAV terminal and a schedule titled “Fan Powered

design, the packaged RTUs need to supply the peak cooling airflow to the zones, and could be controlled with low minimum flows based on the minimum ventilation rates. Then the Series PIU terminals use recirculated zone air to meet the heating loads. (Change
the ZONE:INDUCED-AIR-SRC to ZONE-RECIRC.) So you might be able to capture energy savings if you enter specific zone design and minimum airflows for each zone/terminal. I suggest reviewing the help file literature for Powered-Induction Terminals and the many
zone airflow keywords including the terminal ZONE-FAN-RATIO, ZONE-FAN-FLOW. The baseline should be modeled with minimum zone flows per Appendix G but the proposed design minimum zone flows (provided by the packaged rooftops) should be different.</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">When series FPTUs are used throughout a system, the central fans typically have lower static pressure because the FPTUs are doing some of the air pressure work.
You may need to change that as well as changing the terminal units. I don’t think any of us can say make a universal statement that FPTUs are more or less efficient than plain VAVs. There are a lot of variables there including climate, fan system power,
hours of operation, set back behavior, type and efficiency of the heating source, etc, etc.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

Thank you so much for reviewing the model. Since I am not familiar with energy performance of different terminal boxes was wondering if my selection was correct. The mechanical drawings include diagram bellow for VAV terminal and a schedule titled “Fan Powered
Terminal unit Schedule” that marks DTQS as the model of terminal boxes. Manufacturer’s (Titus) literature indicates DTQS as a Digital Series Fan Powered Terminal and very energy efficient.</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;color:rgb(39,78,19)"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

vs Std VAV terminals. Keeping everything equal, when I change terminal types from Std VAV to Series PIU the annual energy costs increase, which indicates Std VAV terminal is more energy efficient than Series PIU terminal.
