C. Trim and Respond Setpoint Reset Logic:

1. General: The following setpoints shall be reset by trim and respond logic.

a. Heating hot water supply temperature.

b. RTU-1 and RTU-2 supply air duct static pressure.

c. RTU-1 and RTU-2 supply air temperature.

The trim and respond logic shall reduce (or increase) the setpoint at a fixed rate until a downstream zone is no longer satisfied and generates a request. When enough requests are present, the setpoint shall be increased (or reduced) in response. The importance of each zone’s requests can be adjusted to ensure that critical zones are always satisfied. When enough requests no longer exist, the setpoint shall resume decreasing (or increasing) at its fixed rate. A running total of the requests generated by each zone shall be kept to identify the zones that are driving the reset logic.

2. Requests: Requests are calls generated by the VAV terminal units and heating coils to reset the setpoints listed above (in Section C.1). These requests are sent upstream to the systems that serve the VAV terminal units and heating coils that generated the request. For each VAV terminal unit and heating coil, and for each type of setpoint request, provide the following software points:

HVAC System Improvements SOO Page 2 Proposed HVAC Control Sequences of Operation

a. Importance Multiplier: Each Importance Multiplier shall initially be set to a default of one (1) (adjustable).

b. Request Hours Accumulator: Every 5 minutes (adjustable), add 5 divided by 60 times the current number of requests to the Request Hours Accumulator.

c. Run Hours Total: The number of hours each VAV terminal unit or heating coil has been operating in any mode other than Unoccupied Mode.

d. Cumulative Percent Request Hours: The VAV terminal unit or heating coil Request Hours divided by the VAV terminal unit or heating coil Run Hours since the last reset, expressed as a percentage.

See “Variable Air Volume (VAV) Terminal Units” below (in Section P) for the logic to generate setpoint reset requests at the zone level. The number of requests from the zone level logic shall be multiplied times the Importance Multiplier before being sent upstream to the system that serves the VAV terminal unit or heating coil that generated the request.

See “Heating System” and “Air Handling Units RTU-1 and RTU-2” below (in Section P) for the logic to handle setpoint reset requests at the system level.

3. Reset to Zero: The Request Hours Accumulator and Run Hours Total shall be reset to zero as follows:

a. Reset automatically for an individual VAV terminal unit or heating coil when the Run-Hours Total exceeds 400 hours.

b. Reset manually by a global operator command. This command shall simultaneously reset the Request Hours Accumulator point for all VAV terminal units or heating coils served by their associated upstream systems.

4. Rogue Zones: If the Cumulative Percent Request Hours exceed 70% for any VAV terminal unit or heating coil, a maintenance alarm condition shall be reported at the operator workstation. Manually setting the Importance Multiplier to zero (0) shall cause the trim and respond logic to ignore requests from the rogue zone.

D. Occupied-Unoccupied Modes: Occupied-unoccupied modes shall be controlled by user-adjustable schedules with optimal start/stop algorithms as described below (in this section).

5. Unoccupied Bypass Mode: Operation of the override button on any of the zone temperature sensors during unoccupied mode shall cause the associated air handling unit and all zones in the affected Zone Group to operate in occupied mode for the duration of the bypass timer time setting (3 hours, adjustable). For unoccupied mode bypass times of greater than 3 hours, the input of a manual command at the operator workstation shall cause the associated air handling unit to operate in occupied mode continuously until reset manually or until the start of the next unoccupied period.

E. Heating System: Heating system operation shall be enabled by the DDC system and the heating hot water supply temperature setpoint shall be calculated by the DDC system. Boiler control (boiler staging and capacity control, lead-lag boiler rotation, lag boiler start on lead boiler failure, and boiler pump control) shall be accomplished with the boiler manufacturer’s internal controls, using the heating hot water supply setpoint calculated by the DDC system as input.

1. Heating System Enable/Disable:

a. Requests: Requests are calls generated by the heating coil valves to enable the heating system. See “Air Handling Units RTU-1 and RTU-2” and “Variable Air Volume (VAV) Terminal Units” below (in Section P) for the logic to generate enable/disable requests at the zone level.

b. Heating System Enable: Heating system operation shall be enabled after the system has been disabled for at least 15 minutes (adjustable), the outdoor air temperature is below 70 degrees F (adjustable), and the number of heating hot water system enable requests R is greater than the number of ignored requests I, with ignored requests initially set to zero (0) (adjustable).

2. Boiler Staging: Boilers B-1 and B-2 shall be fired sequentially in response to heating system load changes to maintain heating supply water temperature at setpoint. As heating demand increases, the lead boiler shall be fired and shall modulate upward from low fire to 100 percent capacity as necessary to maintain boiler supply water temperature at the heating hot water supply temperature setpoint. Upon further increase in heating demand, the lag boiler shall be fired and both boilers shall modulate from 50 percent capacity upward to 100 percent capacity as necessary to maintain boiler supply water temperature at the heating hot water supply temperature setpoint.

3. Heating Hot Water Supply Temperature Setpoint Reset: The heating hot water supply temperature setpoint shall be reset by trim and respond logic using the parameters shown below (all adjustable).

When the reset logic is active, if the number of requests R is less than or equal to the number of ignored requests I, the setpoint shall be changed by the trim amount SPtrim after every time step T. If the number of requests R is more than the number of ignored requests I, the reset logic shall respond by changing the setpoint by the respond amount SPres times the number of requests R minus the number of ignored requests I, but no more than the maximum response per time step SPres-max. In other words, for every time step T:

HVAC System Improvements SOO Page 9 Proposed HVAC Control Sequences of Operation

The trim and respond logic shall reset the supply air duct static pressure setpoint within the minimum and maximum supply air duct static pressure setpoint limits, SPmin and SPmax. When the associated supply air fan is off, the setpoint shall be the initial setpoint SP0.

When the reset logic is active, if the number of requests R is less than or equal to the number of ignored requests I, the setpoint shall be changed by the trim amount SPtrim after every time step T. If the number of requests R is more than the number of ignored requests I, the reset logic shall respond by changing the setpoint by the respond amount SPres times the number of requests R minus the number of ignored requests I, but no more than the maximum response per time step SPres-max. In other words, for every time step T:

1) If R is less than or equal to I, change the supply air duct static pressure setpoint by SPtrim.

2) If R is greater than I, change the supply air duct static pressure setpoint by (R

- I) x SPres, but no more than SPres-max.

1) During Occupied and Unoccupied Modes, the supply air temperature setpoint shall be reset from SPmin when the outdoor air temperature is 70 degrees F (adjustable) and above, proportionally up to T-max when the outdoor air temperature is 60 degrees F (adjustable) and below. T-max shall be reset within the range of SPmin to SPmax by trim and respond logic using the parameters shown below (all adjustable).

TRIM AND RESPOND PARAMETERS

Variable Value Device AHU/CU

SP0 65 degrees F SPmin 55 degrees F SPmax 65 degrees F

Td 10 minutes T 2 minutes I 2 R VAV terminal supply air temperature reset requests SPtrim +0.2 degrees F SPres -0.3 degrees F

SPres-max -1.0 degrees F

When the associated supply air fan is off, T-max shall be the initial setpoint SP0. The reset logic shall be active any time the associated supply air fan is on, starting with a delay time Td after the initial supply air fan start command.

When the reset logic is active, if the number of requests R is less than or equal to the number of ignored requests I, T-max shall be changed by the trim amount SPtrim after every time step T. If the number of requests R is more than the number of ignored requests I, the reset logic shall respond by changing T-max by the respond amount SPres times the number of requests R minus the number of ignored requests I, but no more than the maximum response per time step SPres-max. In other words, for every time step T:

a) If R is less than or equal to I, change T-max by SPtrim.

b) If R is greater than I, change T-max by (R - I) x SPres, but no more than SPres-max.
