STATEMENT OF WORK FOR RETROCOMMISSIONING ACTIVITES AT BUILDING 49 AT GLENN
RESEARCH CENTER (GRC)
1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The overall purpose of this project is to perform the final phase of the retro-commissioning activities in Building 49, Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH. This portion of the project will perform a full test and balance (TAB) of Building 49. All air and water flows in the HVAC systems will be rebalanced to CxA developed and owner reviewed TAB schedules.
Equipment which was repaired in earlier phases of the project will have the repairs validated. All HVAC equipment will undergo final functional testing by the CxA to ensure optimum system operation and validate the previous phases of the retro-commissioning process.
2. BACKGROUND
A goal of this effort will be to test and verify repairs completed in earlier phases of this project were completed successfully and return the HVAC system to peak efficiency. See Attachment A for Phase 1 Investigative Reports for B49 that included preliminary functional testing and identification of repairs.
Building 49 Materials and Structures Laboratory is a two-story structure with a basement, approximately 100,000 sf, and was originally built in 1949. The building underwent a major renovation in 1998. It now consists of a mixture of 30% office space and 70% laboratory space.
The offices are served by fan coil units and a dedicated Make Up Air (MAU) unit. The laboratory areas are served by AHUs and VAV boxes with reheat and VAV tracking exhaust systems. The total maximum outdoor air to the building is 117,000 cfm. The basement, first, and second floor laboratories are served by 3 different air handlers connected to VAV boxes in each room. Most fume hoods in each room are connected to one of two Manifold Exhaust Systems (MEF1 & 2 and MEF 3&4) which exhaust fume hood exhaust out of the building. There are also separate room exhaust fans. Pressurization of each lab is controlled by using VAV supply boxes, fume hood sash sensors, fume hood exhaust boxes, and general exhaust boxes. These systems run 24/7 all year round and this building is one of the largest energy consumption buildings. The following is a breakdown of the scope of work for the building. See attached spreadsheet outlining the existing HVAC assets in Building 49, which shall be used as a template for the final report.
3. OBJECTIVES
Retro-Commissioning (RCx) is a systematic process applied to existing buildings for identifying and implementing operational and maintenance improvements and for ensuring their continued performance over time. RCx assures system functionality. It is an inclusive and systematic process that intends not only to optimize how equipment and system operate, but also to optimize how the
Task Four system components function together. The primary focus is using Operations & Maintenance (O&M) tune-up activities and diagnostic testing to optimize the building systems.
This scope of work is for the final phase of the retro-commissioning process in Building 49. It includes validation of repairs completed in earlier phases of the retro-commissioning process as well as system functional testing and a full test and balance of the building.
Primary Objectives:
1. Validate operational and maintenance enhancements that result in improvements in energy efficiency, occupant comfort, or indoor air quality.
2. Test and document system operation using standardized check sheets for each piece of equipment.
3. Optimize and tune control systems through recommendation of any available control strategies that are not already implemented. Document any changes.
4. Improve building performance by saving energy and reducing operational costs.
5. Identify and document any remaining building system operation, control, and maintenance problems.
6. Reduce occupant comfort complaints and increase occupant satisfaction.
7. Improve indoor environmental comfort and quality. Document ventilation to each space.
8. Provide and implement recommendations for trending, logging, or alarming to
“Continuously Commission” the buildings.
9. Document HVAC System Operation.
Commissioning Agent Qualifications: The Commissioning Agent (CxA) should have experience in Commissioning, Recommissioning and Retro-commissioning in the climate and type of commissioning to be performed. For example, if the building to be commissioned is laboratory, office, or warehouse, the firm should have experience with the systems and equipment in that type of building. And as climates often dictate the type of HVAC, lighting, and other controls used, experience in the geographic area is required. Building 49 is mostly office spaces.

STATEMENT OF WORK FOR RETROCOMMISSIONING ACTIVITES AT BUILDING 60 AT GLENN
1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The overall purpose of this project is to perform the final phase of the retro-commissioning activities in Building 60, Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, OH. This portion of the project will perform a full test and balance (TAB) of building 60. All air and water flows in the HVAC systems will be rebalanced to CxA developed and owner reviewed TAB schedules.
Equipment which was repaired in earlier phases of the project will have the repairs validated. All HVAC equipment will undergo final functional testing by the CxA to ensure optimum system operation and validate the previous phases of the retro-commissioning process.
2. BACKGROUND
A goal of this effort will be to test and verify repairs completed in earlier phases of this project were completed successfully and return the HVAC system to peak efficiency. See Attachment A for Phase 1 Investigative Reports for B60 that included preliminary functional testing and identification of repairs.
Building 60 Business Service Center is a two-story structure, approximately 43,400 sf and was originally built in 1951. The building underwent a complete rehabilitation in 2007. Building 60 consists of mostly office spaces and conference rooms. The Building 60 Retro-Commissioning Study recommended repair of several pieces of equipment in order to restore efficient HVAC operation in the building and maximize occupant comfort. See attached spreadsheet outlining the existing HVAC assets in Building 60, which shall be used as a template for the final report.
3. OBJECTIVES
Retro-Commissioning (RCx) is a systematic process applied to existing buildings for identifying and implementing operational and maintenance improvements and for ensuring their continued performance over time. RCx assures system functionality. It is an inclusive and systematic process that intends not only to optimize how equipment and system operate, but also to optimize how the system components function together. The primary focus is using Operations & Maintenance (O&M) tune-up activities and diagnostic testing to optimize the building systems.
This scope of work is for the final phase of the retro-commissioning process in building 60. It includes validation of repairs completed in earlier phases of the retro-commissioning process as well as system functional testing and a full test and balance of the building.
Task Six
Primary Objectives:
1. Validate operational and maintenance enhancements that result in improvements in energy efficiency, occupant comfort, or indoor air quality.
2. Test and document system operation using standardized check sheets for each piece of equipment.
3. Optimize and tune control systems through recommendation of any available control strategies that are not already implemented. Document any changes.
4. Improve building performance by saving energy and reducing operational costs.
5. Identify and document any remaining building system operation, control, and maintenance problems.
6. Reduce occupant comfort complaints and increase occupant satisfaction.
7. Improve indoor environmental comfort and quality. Document ventilation to each space.
8. Provide and implement recommendations for trending, logging, or alarming to
“Continuously Commission” the buildings.
9. Document HVAC System Operation.
Commissioning Agent Qualifications: The Commissioning Agent (CxA) should have experience in Commissioning, Recommissioning and Retro-commissioning in the climate and type of commissioning to be performed. For example, if the building to be commissioned is laboratory, office, or warehouse, the firm should have experience with the systems and equipment in that type of building. And as climates often dictate the type of HVAC, lighting, and other controls used, experience in the geographic area is required. Building 60 is mostly office spaces.
Contractor/CxA Responsibilities:
1. Review and become familiar with the retro-commissioning work already completed on building
60. See Attachment A for Phase 1 Investigative Report for B60.
a. Documentation Review and Initial Site Walk-through - Review building drawings and documentation to understand the building energy usage and initial basis of design, changes to design and use, and to evaluate the system integration. The review process includes the evaluation of all record drawings, previous Test and Balance Reports, Operations & Maintenance Manuals (typically related to mechanical, electrical and controls), and any past Commissioning Reports. NASA project team will provide relevant drawings and any available test reports or documents. New balance schedules will be provided by the CxA.
b. Review the current facility functions to identify changes from the original design criteria and assumptions. Identify any potential issues.
c. Review current codes and standards to identify those applicable to the current facility requirements.
2. Develop a full TAB air and water balancing schedule for building 60 containing each space, each piece of exhaust and makeup air equipment, and each water side balancing point. Schedules shall be prepared utilizing existing drawings, previous air balancing schedules (where available), and building walkthroughs.
a. Evaluate each space to determine how much makeup air should be provided and how much exhaust air is removed.
b. For spaces with pressurization control (namely labs), determine the CFM offset between supply and exhaust flows to maintain sufficient negative pressurization.
c. Evaluate each space in the field and provide a recommended amount of makeup air that should be provided based on HVAC industry standards (ex. ASHRAE 62.1) and good engineering practice.
d. Provide building pressurization control.
e. For all VAV boxes in the building provide a recommended air flow range for a test and balancing contractor to balance to.
f. For all general exhaust boxes in the building, provide a recommended air flow range for a test and balancing contractor to balance to.
g. For all waterside balancing points (namely coils and triple duty valves) provide a flow balancing point for the TAB contractor to balance to.
h. For all exhaust sources in the building (fume hoods, snorkels, etc.), provide an exhaust flow rate for each piece of equipment to be balanced to.
i. Balancing schedule shall be submitted, reviewed and approved by the government before TAB activities begin.
3. CxA shall be (or shall hire a subcontractor who is) TABB, AABC or NEBB certified and shall conduct appropriate testing and balancing TAB procedure and reports.
