[Trace-users] Part load conditions

To All 

 

We have submitted the trace report fan power calcs to LEED on multiple
jobs and we had no problems.

The calcs are accurate.

Scott,

 

What we have seen is that the Trace700 PRM Sizing works correctly  and
you just need to submit the PRM report but I don't know if that
particular requirement for  G3.1.3.15 Part 2 can be done using it.

 

Thanks.

Catalina,

 

I would guess that you are working on a LEED project.  From my
experience the LEED reviewer will not accept the automatic fan
calculation within Trace.  You need to manually calculate the maximum
break HP for each fan for the baseline systems.  I recommend putting
them in units of kW/CFM.  You will need to manually do the fan power
calculations according to 90.1 and adjust for any "allowances" per 90.1.
Please don't use the Full Load Energy Rate numbers I have used.  You'll
need to calculate these for your specific conditions per 90.1
requirements.

Can the software calculate it automatically with the following feature
on?

Catalina,

 

You can define a custom fan curve based on the 90.1 cubic equation, but
I would recommend that you use the 90.1 fan curve library member that
comes with the program.  The curve is the same for 2004 and 2007
versions of 90.1.

 

  

Scott

Hi all,

 

How do you show this method on Trace 700 for System 6?

 

 

 

 

Thanks,
