About this file
This is a 35% design submission report for the NIST Building 215 Cleanroom Rebalance project, prepared by Burdette, Koehler, Murphy and Associates, Inc. (BKM) in December 2019. The report documents existing HVAC system conditions at the Advanced Measurement Laboratory (AML) Building 215 cleanroom facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and provides recommendations for corrective actions and system rebalancing.
The existing Building 215 cleanroom facility, completed in 2005, comprises 1,800 square meters of cleanroom space including 750 square meters of Class 100 space, operating with approximately 120 air changes per hour in Class 1000 spaces and 300 air changes per hour in Class 100 areas. The report identifies multiple deficiencies requiring remediation: HEPA filter replacement (original filters now 16 years old with increased pressure drops), VAV terminal controller issues affecting non-classified areas (AHU-105, AHU-106, AHU-107), replacement of failing Ebtron airflow measuring stations (AFMs) and magnehelic gauges with incorrect operating ranges, ductwork repair and resizing for exhaust systems, correction of return air pathways (particularly addressing wind tunnel effects in Corridor CO-D-1 and pressurization issues in Room D107), and complete system rebalancing of cleanroom and support spaces. The scope encompasses testing and recommissioning of multiple air handling units (AHU-101A through AHU-115) and exhaust fans (EF-101 through EF-123), with recommendations including installation of differential pressure sensors for filter loading monitoring, sealing of cleanroom doors to reduce make-up air requirements, and commissioning services post-completion. The accompanying AECOM CLIN 1 report from February 2018 provides detailed testing data on existing AHU and exhaust fan operating points, AFM verification results, VAV system diagnostics, and pressure relationship summaries supporting these remediation recommendations.

Overview
The scope of this narrative was to document and evaluate the existing conditions air systems of the AML Building 215 at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland. A 2018 report by AECOM, attached in Appendix Three, documented some of the air system airflows and deficiencies. After the existing conditions have been evaluated, recommendations are to be provided to correct existing deficiencies, replace system components and rebalance the cleanroom airflows to meet the current installed equipment’s requirements. The area of discussion encompasses a majority of the existing Building AML 215 building. BKM was retained to perform a documentation of the existing conditions, analyze of the building airflow system and provide recommendations to correct the previously identified and evaluated deficiencies. This report includes recommendations as well as documentation for the following components of the air systems for Building 215:
Removal and Replacement of the HEPA filters.
Repair or Replacement of all variable air volume (VAV) terminal units.
Replacement of all airflow measuring stations (AFM) Replacement of all magnehelic gauges Repair ductwork where required.
Correct pathways for return air.
Testing of air handling units (AHU) and exhaust fans.
Calibration and verification of AFMs.
Rebalance of the existing cleanroom Correction of airflows for lobby and exhaust systems.
This narrative describes the existing conditions of these items and provides general recommendations that will then be utilized as part of construction documents to allow for corrections to be implemented. Also, included in this narrative are a list of additional recommendations to allow for additional monitoring, preventative maintenance and energy savings opportunities.
The existing systems will continue to be analyzed to determine the existing airflows and changes from the original balancing and installed construction. As the existing systems are being identified, input from the facilities and research staff will be required to provide information for the current unknowns of the tools requiring exhaust. As part of this analysis it is assumed that all tools are currently connected to the appropriate exhaust system, which include; acid exhaust, solvent exhaust, hydride exhaust, gas cabinet exhaust, vacuum pump exhaust and general exhaust. Additional input from the NIST office of facilities and property management will be needed to determine if all air change rates and airflows should be re-balanced to the original design or if locations where airflows have been reduced are acceptable to maintain the cleanroom specifications. Upon receipt of the original balancing report or commissioning report, BKM can provide additional recommendations to assist in the final requirements for air change rates of the cleanroom and cleanroom support spaces.
Included in appendices of this narrative are documents to supplement the remediations for the existing building deficiencies and to begin to develop construction documents that will be used by a contractor to modify and rebalance the Building 215 air systems. Additionally, Appendix Two includes photos of existing conditions and installed equipment. Lastly, Appendix Three includes the 2018 AECOM report which describes the investigation of the deficiencies as well as a testing report of the current airflow measurements.

Existing Conditions
The Advanced Measurement Lab (AML) complex was constructed and completed in 2005, and consists of five buildings. Building 215 is the cleanroom facility within the AML complex and houses 1,800 square meters of cleanroom, including 750 square meters of Class 100 space. The cleanroom operates with a constant volume airflow with approximately 120 air changes for the Class 1000 spaces and 300 air changes per hour for the Class 100 areas.
The cleanroom maintains pressure through the operation of two make-up air units (AHU-103, AHU-104) ducting make-up air to recirculating air handling units intended to provide pressurization for the cleanroom. The lab recirculating air handling units provide the air change rates to the cleanroom by a ducted supply to a plenum of supply high-efficiency particulate air devices. The return air then migrates through a perforated raised floor to the adjacent service galley and back to the plenum return of the recirculating air handling unit. Within the cleanroom there are three exhaust systems that exhaust various tools within the Class 100 space. The three cleanroom exhaust systems (acid, solvent & hydride) each have thirteen branch ducts with airflow monitoring stations and motor operated dampers which modulate to control the pressure within the corresponding system.
BKM is in the process of completing an investigation of the building HVAC systems to identify existing systems and their deficiencies as identified in the “preliminary survey report”. As part of this investigation and building survey, subsequent construction documents will be produced to identify and correct the following known building deficiencies:
HEPA filters: The existing HEPA filters are original to the building, and are experiencing increased pressure drops, which requires the associated recirculating AHU fans to operate at an increased fan speed and energy usage.
VAV terminals: The existing VAV terminals associated with non-classified areas AHU-105, AHU-106 & AHU- 107 have all had issues with reporting airflow to the building automation system (BAS) as indicated in the AECOM report.
Replace AFMs: The existing Ebtron airflow measuring stations are reporting inaccurate measurements. In several locations the AFMs are not reporting to the local readout.
Replace magnehelic gauges: The existing magnehelic gauges installed on EF-102 through EF-105 have incorrect operating ranges for the operating range of these fans. Magnehelic gauges installed within the cleanroom utilize incorrect operating ranges.
Repair ductwork as needed: Undersized and modified ductwork has been identified on the exhaust system as new tools have been added to the exhaust systems. The lack of volume dampers within the existing exhaust system has also prevented the exhaust systems to be properly balanced upon the installation of a new tool in the cleanroom space.
Return Air Pathways: Several locations were identified by the AECOM report as locations with limited return pathways. The lack of return air pathways has led to issues with space pressurization in the areas surrounding the Class 1000 space.
Testing of AHUs / EFs: Testing of the existing exhaust system and air handling systems was completed by AECOM to compare measured conditions with the original balancing reports and current BAS reported data. It was noted that several of the recirculating systems are currently operating at lower fan speeds than their original operation. The recirculating air handling units that are operating at reduced flow rates supply air to the Class 1000 corridors or the gowning areas of the cleanroom space. It is appears based on the original design of the fans these units are capable of providing these spaces with approximately 120 air changes per hour, but have been reduced to approximately 75 air changes per hour. This may be due an energy conservation measure, in conjunction with the reduced air change rate meeting the requirements of the users and space classification. This reduction of airflow still needs to be confirmed with NIST and the cleanroom specifications.

Calibration & Verification of AFMs: As previously stated under the “replace AFM” section, the existing airflow measuring stations are not reporting accurate measurements and are believed to be faulty or dirty.
Rebalance of Cleanroom: The existing cleanroom has not been completely rebalanced in the past ten years to accommodate additional tools, which require exhaust, as they have been installed. This has pushed some of the exhaust systems beyond design capacity. Refer to Appendix One for drawings identifying the existing ductwork locations and schematics. As the investigation and analysis is completed these documents will be updated to identify all ductwork associated with the cleanroom systems and its design and previously measured airflows, which will be rebalanced under the conditions analysis.
Correct airflow in lobby and other exhaust systems: The existing Building 215 air systems have not been fully rebalanced since changes have been made to several air systems. Due to changes within the hydride, solvent and acid exhaust systems the building’s overall pressurization and system balance has shifted from the original design. Additional review of these systems will be required to identify systems that have reached or exceeded their original design capacity. Refer to Appendix One for drawings identifying the existing ductwork locations and schematics. As the investigation and analysis is completed these documents will be updated to identify all ductwork associated with the lobby and exhaust systems and its design and previously measured airflows, which will be rebalanced under the conditions analysis.

Conditions Analysis & Recommendations
For the basis of this narrative a portion of the cleanroom has been analyzed and reviewed, this area includes Room A102, A102-1 & A103-1 as well as the basement and penthouse. These documents can be found within Appendix One and will be further developed as approach and airflows are confirmed.
HEPA filters: New HEPA terminal filters will be installed within the Class 100 and 1000 spaces to replace the existing original filters. The AHU HEPA filters in the recirculating and make-up air units are replaced under a normal preventative maintenance schedule and will be completed under regularly scheduled maintenance.
The replacement of the filter will allow the associated recirculating AHU fans to operate at a reduced fan speed and reduce the overall fan energy usage. The quantity and locations of the existing HEPA devices are indicated in Appendix One, Drawing 215-M102.
VAV terminals: It is currently unknown if the issue with the existing VAV terminals associated with AHU-105, AHU-106 & AHU-107 is due to faulty control terminals, or if there is a control issue between the VAV terminal and the building automation system (BAS) as indicated in the AECOM report. This item will require testing from a testing and balancing contractor in conjunction with the BAS operators to determine if the report issues are due to faulty controls or a communication error. If it is found that the existing Nailor VAV terminals controllers have begun to fail, it is recommended that these controllers are replaced or if funding is available the terminal units are replaced in kind. Equipment plans will continue to be developed to indicate air terminal units to be tested and schedules to indicate final balancing airflow values.
Replace AFMs: The existing Ebtron airflow measuring stations may be reaching the end of their useful life of operation. The manufacturer has confirmed that the installed devices do not require calibration. The AECOM discrepancies are currently being reviewed by the manufacturer. It is recommended by the manufacturer that an installed probe is removed to identify if any substance build-up has accumulated on the sensors, that may be affecting the accuracy of these devices. It has also been recommended that sensor readouts are verified for correct settings based on their initial factory settings including their installed ductwork sizes. The installed Ebtron devices perform the airflow calculation through a process called thermal dispersion, rather than pitot tube measurement that would require regular calibration. The existing sensors could be removed, cleaned and verified for operation and accuracy or completely replaced as their expected life ranges from 10-15 years. It should be noted that the sensors are not expected to have their accuracy drift, but rather a failure of the sensor which will report a failure to the local readout. If it is deemed that the existing sensors have reached the end of their useful life the existing Ebtron devices and readouts will be replaced with new airflow measuring stations and local readout stations, which BKM ultimately recommends at this time due to the age of the current installation. As part of this replacement it is recommended that the existing thirteen branch dampers on the solvent, acid and hydride systems will be replaced with new pressure independent air valve, such as Accu-valve or Phoenix exhaust air terminals. The new exhaust valves will allow each branch ducts to operate off of pressure in the ductwork and modulate the damper to maintain flow if a tool is removed or shuts off due to intermittent use. The airflow measuring stations are indicated on the airflow schematic and will be located on a part plan view typical of Drawing 215-M201. This documentation will be duplicated for each set of recirculating air handling units.
Replace magnehelic gauges: The existing magnehelic gauges installed on EF-102 through EF-105 and the cleanrooms should be replaced. The exhaust gauges will be installed with an appropriate operating range for each fan. The replacement magnehelic gauges installed within the cleanroom will utilize a -0.25” wc to +0.25” wc tolerance to indicate if the Class 100 space drops to a neutral or negative pressurization. It is recommended that all gauges are tied to the BAS for trending, monitoring and alert purposes. Refer to the Appendix One drawings for locations.
Repair ductwork as needed: The installed exhaust ductwork is currently be analyzed to identify any locations of undersized ductwork that would require modification. The analysis of the exhaust systems may require some
December 6, 2019 Page No. 5
Burdette, Koehler, Murphy and Associates, Inc.
Mechanical/Electrical Engineers input from the NIST OFM staff and researchers to establish correct flowrates from equipment that has not been balanced or may not have a set airflow requirement. It is recommended that each tool be installed with a volume damper, including replacing existing failing dampers, to create a uniform system that can be rebalanced as required when new equipment is installed within a lab. A recommended procedure for adding a tool to the exhaust system will be outlined to isolate the rebalance of the cleanroom air systems to the branch ductwork affected by a system modification. This procedure would be dependent on the scale of the modifications to the air systems. Recommendations for typical repair of failing joints or connections will be made as they are identified to ensure the safety of cleanroom operators and staff.
Return Air Pathways: Due to a large quantity of air that is collected along Corridor CO-D-1 a wind tunnel effect is created in this area. A new above ceiling return air transfer will be installed to allow air to migrate back to AHU-113 & AHU-115 freely without entering Room D107. This will relieve air transfer across the door, allowing it to open and close freely. Room D107 is designated as a chemical change-out room. This space is recommended to be exhaust rather than allowing air to recirculate back to other adjacent spaces. The existing supply air within Room D107 supplies 120 air changes per hour, so ductwork modifications will be required to exhaust the air within Room D107 to the outdoors rather than allowing it to migrate to the return of AHU-113.
These modifications can be found in Appendix One.
Testing of AHUs / EFs: Further recommendations will be made as analysis of the existing exhaust systems and laboratory tool requirements. It is expected that several spot check locations will be completed to determine if an existing sensor or sensors are accurate or there is a reporting issue with the BAS. Equipment plans will continue to be developed to indicate equipment to be tested and schedules to indicate final balancing airflow values.
Calibration & Verification of AFMs: As previously stated under the “replace AFM” section a testing balancing contractor will first verify that the existing Ebtron airflow stations are not accurately reading the airflow and will be replaced in kind as required. It is recommended that initial testing and investigation be completed prior to replacement to ensure that a newly installed device maintains its expected tolerance and longevity.
Rebalance of Cleanroom: After the completion of full analysis of the cleanroom supply, return and exhaust systems along with any associated ductwork changes to accommodate current lab tool installations, the Building 215 air systems will be rebalanced to a provided airflow schematic to be provided as part of the final construction documents. The equipment to be included in this rebalance is as listed: AHU-101A through 101T, AHU-102A through 102D, AHU-103, AHU-104, AHU-108A, AHU-108B, AHU-109, AHU-110A, AHU- 110B, AHU-111A through 111D, AHU-112, AHU-113, AHU-114, AHU-115, EF-101A, EF-101B, EF-102A, EF-
102B, EF-105A, EF-105B & EF-114.
Correct airflow in lobby and other exhaust systems: After the completion of full analysis of the Building 215 supply, return and exhaust systems along with any associated ductwork changes to accommodate as-built conditions, the Building 215 air systems will be rebalanced to a provided airflow schematic to be provided as part of the final construction documents. The equipment to be included in this rebalance is as listed: AHU- 105, AHU-106, AHU-107, AHU-123, EF-103, EF-104, EF-106, EF-108, EF-109, EF-112, EF-122, EF-123, RF-105 & RF-107.

Other Recommendations
As a part of the review of the building system BKM believes there are additional modifications that could be considered for the improvement of the existing cleanroom and adjacent spaces operation.
Ensure a consist preventative maintenance schedule is in place to replace the HEPA and carbon filters located in the recirculating and make-up air units.
Install differential pressure sensors across a select number of cleanroom terminal HEPA filters to alert the BAS due to an increase in pressure drop across the filter, indicating the filters are loaded and requiring changing. This will allow for filter loading and fan energy to be monitored and trended.
Install differential pressure sensors at the Class 100 doors to alert the BAS that a space has dropped below a specified pressure differential to prevent any potential transfer of dirt or dust that may damage the on-going research.
It was noted that during the field investigation survey, that the cleanroom doors between the Class 1000 and viewing corridor are not gasketed. If these doors and other openings were sealed, it would ensure additional pressurization within the cleanroom, which would allow for an overall reduction in make-up air required. As 100% make-up air requires heating and cooling, a reduction in the usage of make-up air would provide a significant energy savings for the cleanroom operation.
It is strongly recommended that commissioning services are provided after all modifications and re-balancing activities have been completed to verify that the air systems are indeed operating as the construction documents indicate.

Summary:
CLIN 1 TAB Introductory Overview
The NIST Bldg. 215 CLIN 1 TAB effort by AECOM includes a complete readout of existing HVAC systems as-found with few system setpoint adjustments under normal operating conditions. The only system setpoint adjustments that were made involved the modulation of the VAV boxes to their maximum airflow setpoints through BAS airflow setpoint overrides.
The VAV boxes associated with AHUs 105, 106, and 107 have modulating airflow setpoints (in most cases) which respond to associated space conditions under normal operation. This VAV equipment is located outside of the Clean Room envelope. The CLIN 1 TAB effort was for testing all AHUs and Exhaust Fans listed in the Statement of Work include all Bldg. 215 AHUs, Exhaust Fans (with a few exceptions), calibration verification of room and AHU and EF Magnehelic gauges and calibration verification of the EBTRON airflow monitoring stations (AFM), as well as, a summary of actual as-found pressurization relationships of most of the Bldg. 215 rooms to their adjacent rooms. The following is the report of our findings with commentary.
HVAC System Issues
1. Wind tunnel effect along corridor CO-D-1
• Cause: Limited return air pathway for AHU 115 and AHU 113 due to lack of above ceiling transfer openings. The return air for these units moves through the corridor into adjacent corridor CO-A1-1.
• Initial Recommendation: Add ceiling transfer grilles to Area CO-D-1. Install an above-ceiling transfer opening between CO-D-1 and D107 (Chem.
Change-out).
Date of Activity: February 2018 to present. Report # CLIN 1
2. D107 (Chem. Change-out): The doors to CO-D-1 and D108 are do not close automatically due to inward air pressure.
• Cause: Limited return air pathway AHU 113 due to lack of above ceiling transfer openings. The path of least resistance for return air of this unit is through the two sets of doors serving D107.
• Initial Recommendation: Add ceiling transfer grilles to Area CO-D-1. Install an above-ceiling transfer opening between CO-D-1 and D107 (Chem.
Change-out).
• Further Recommendation: D107 (Chem. Change-out) should be an exhaust only room. Seal all return air grilles to AHU 113 in this room. Further calculations for exhaust capacity and air changes for D107 will have to be developed. The exhaust duct from EF101 serving D107 is a 250 mm (10”) duct which may have to be enlarged to a 300 MM (14”) duct to provide enough exhaust air to meet D107 exhaust air quantity and air exchange rates for the room.
3. Chemical fumes are noted when the Fume Hood in A105 is utilized.
• Cause: The Fume Hood is deficient on airflow.
• Initial Recommendation: Limit usage of the hood to a minimum, if at all, until the following: Increase exhaust airflow setpoint for Solvent Damper # 12.
Retest and Balance system. Setpoint increase calculation has not yet been developed.
• Further Recommendation: Re-duct the fume hood in A105 to be served by an individual 400 mm tap off of the exhaust runout. Currently, the hood is served by an exhaust duct tap that also has 2 runouts serving tools that have critical airflows which alarm when not within a BAS monitored range.
Other HVAC System CLIN 1 Discovered Issues
1. AHU-115 serving D105 Gowning: Room D105 (Class 1000) is positively pressurized to both the adjacent CO-D-1 corridor and the Class 100 Room B101.
• Cause: The supply air returns to the unit through two transfer grilles in D105 one of which is often blocked by gowns hung near the transfer grille.
Further, since the AHU 115 return is not specifically ducted to D105, more air is being returned to the AHU than is being transferred back through the grilles causing excessive air pressure in D105 which overcomes the air pressure in B101 Class 100 area.
2. AHU-107: The BAS reports that the relief air damper position is 0.0% (closed).
Actual conditions show the damper is open approx. 30%. The relief/return plenum is under positive pressure i.e. air is being relieved (exhausted) from the plenum (building) where the BAS is not calling for this action.
• Initial Recommendation: Investigate and correct damper operation.The operation of the relief dampers does correspond to BAS Commands.
• The supply air EBTRON AFM and return air EBTRON AFM report radically different values to the BAS than what was tested. The Monitors need to be investigated, then repaired or replaced.
3. AHU-105:
• The BAS reports that the relief air damper position is 0.0% (closed). Actual conditions show the damper is open 100%. The relief/return plenum is under negative pressure i.e. outside air is being introduced into the plenum (and building) where the BAS is not calling for this action. Initial Recommendation: Investigate and correct damper operation.
• AHU-105: The Supply and Return Air AFM Local Ebtron Display are blank (not reporting). Highly inaccurate airflow values are being reported by the BAS. Initial Recommendation: Replace or repair and recommission these EBTRON AFMs.
4. The HEPA filter diffusers pressure drops were tested on the clean room AHU systems that could be operated with fan speeds at or near design airflow or originally tested conditions. The filters were tested by manufacturer recommended methods. See Table below for further information.
• Initial Recommendation: Based on the manufacturers recommendations concerning pressure drop testing across the filter diffusers (indicating loading), age of the filters (16 yrs. old) and current test findings, planning for changing of the filters in the near future should be implemented.
5. AHU-6 VAV system serving the SubFab: The Sum total airflow of the VAVs served by AHU-106 are either reporting airflow rates that deviate far beyond the actual tested airflows. AECOM recommends that each of these VAVs be diagnosed for deficiencies via point to point checkout to determine the deviation cause. Several of these VAVs are not responding to BAS damper commands.
6. General Notes on AHU 105, 106, and 107 VAV boxes.
• The majority of VAV boxes tested on these systems exhibited control issues mainly concerning the reporting of airflow volumes within an expected range. The BAS setpoints, VAV inlet sizes, controller hose connections, and original airflow correction factors were all found to be correct. A few airflow volume setpoints were found to be altered, but within a reasonable range.
• The VAV summary included below has highlighted airflow values which indicate a problem with reporting accurate (within range) airflows by the BAS. AECOM could not determine whether it is a BAS problem or a VAV controller problem.
7. EF 105 Hydride Exhaust:
• The original scheduled airflow quantity is 1715 L/s. The fan total was tested at 2390 L/s. The fan is mostly being used as a general exhaust above the ceiling in the return air plenum for the Clean Rooms and in the SubFab with the exception of serving the Furnaces in B106 and several VMBs in B106-1 and the SubFab. Initial recommendation: Cap the runouts that are not connected to a specific tool and reset the BAS (EBTRON) setpoint to 0 L/s. This will reduce power consumption and wear on the fans, as well as, improve positive pressurization to the Clean Room envelope.
• The ducts from EF 105 serving B106-1 and B106 should be separately monitored and controlled by an EBTRON AFM dedicated to the respective ducts. Currently, one monitor is measuring 2 ducts of differing sizes.
8. EF 102 Solvent Exhaust: The original HVAC design for this system includes four
(4) open ended 300 mm (12”) ducts installed at deck level high in return air plenum for the Clean Rooms. These open ended ducts are not specifically exhausting Solvent fumes and in effect are holes in the duct being used as general exhaust. Initial Recommendations: Cap off these ducts. This will reduce power consumption and wear on the fans, as well as, improve positive pressurization to the Clean Room envelope.
9. General Note on EFs 102 through 105:
• The Magnehelics gauges installed for fan total static at the fans are under-ranged for the operation range of these EFs. The gauges are either pegged at their high limit or failed. The gauges need to be replaced with 0-1500 Pa ranged gauges.
10. AHU 102 A, B, C, and D: The fans for these AHU are operating at a reduced speed (by command) compared to the original TAB report. Initial Recommendation: Increase the commanded speed of the AHU back to at least the original TAB Report speed. The B101, B102, B103, and B104 Clean Room sector’s pressurization relationship to the surrounding Class 1000 B-side corridor will be at a higher level with increased speed. Currently this sector is < 0.15” positive to the Class 1000 B-side corridor.
11. General Note on AHU Fan Speeds:
• With the exception of the VAV AHUs, AHUs 112,113, and 115, and AHU-111, the AHU systems should be verified to be operating at their original TAB Report VFD speeds. AECOM noted cases where the drives were operating at a lower speed the BAS command. A few cases were noted that the drive speed command from the BAS was lower than originally tested e.g. AHU 102 A, B, C, and D.
12. See the following table summaries for further information concerning original as-balanced setpoints for supply and exhaust systems, tested airflow values as compared to BAS reported values (EBTRON and VAV boxes), as well as, Magnehelic Gauge calibration validation, and TAB Report forms (filled-out) to date.
