2. Optimum Start/Stop (OSS)/Optimum Enable/Disable (OED): This application provides software to start and stop equipment on a sliding

INTEGRATED AUTOMATION 25 00 00 - 18

Schedule based on the individual zone temperature and the heating/cooling capacity in degrees F/hour of the equipment serving that zone. The heating/cooling capacity value shall be operator adjustable.

Temperature compensated peak demand limiting shall remain in effect during morning startup to avoid setting a demand peak.

3. Source Temperature Optimization (STO): The system shall automatically perform source optimization for all air handling units, chillers and boilers in response to the needs of other downstream pieces of equipment, by increasing or decreasing supply temperature set points, i.e. chilled water, discharge air, etc.. In addition to optimization, the STO capability shall also provide for starting and stopping primary mechanical equipment based on zone occupancy and/or zone load conditions.

a. Set point Reset: The STO program will allow set points for various equipment in the heating/cooling chain to be reset between an operator defined maximum and a minimum set point based on the actual requirements of the building zones. The actual set point shall be calculated based on the number of heating or cooling requests which are currently being received from the equipment or zones served. Once every update period, the STO program surveys the network to see if any piece of equipment requires any additional heating or cooling from its source. As an example, a VAV air handler is the source of cold air for a number of VAV boxes.

4. Demand Limiting (DL) - Temperature Compensated: The DL application shall be programmable for a minimum of six separate time of day KW demand billing rate periods. The system shall be capable of measuring electrical usage from multiple meters serving one building and each piece of equipment being controlled on the LAN shall be programmable to respond to the peak demand information from its respective meter.

a. Sliding Window: The demand control function shall utilize a sliding window method with the operator being able to establish the kilowatt threshold for a minimum of three adjustable demand levels. The sliding window interval shall be operator selectable in increments of 1 minute, up to 60 minutes. Systems that incorporate rotating shed tables will not be acceptable.

1) Set points for Defined Demand Level: The operator shall have the capability to set the individual equipment temperature set points for each operator defined demand level. Equipment shall not be shed if these reset set points are not satisfied; rather the set point shall be revised for the different established demand levels. The system shall have failed meter protection, such that when a KW pulse is not received from the utility within an operator adjustable time period, an alarm will be generated. The system software will automatically default to a predetermined fail-safe shed level.

2) Information Archiving: The system shall have the ability to archive demand and usage information for use at a later time. system

INTEGRATED AUTOMATION 25 00 00 - 19

shall permit the operator access to this information on a current day, month to date and a year to date basis.

B. Day/Night Setback (DNS): The system shall allow the space temperature to drift down (up) within a preset (adjustable) unoccupied temperature range. The heating (cooling) shall be activated upon reaching either end of the DNS range and shall remain activated until the space temperature returns to the DNS range.

1. Outside and Exhaust Air: The system shall be capable of closing all outside air and exhaust air dampers during the unoccupied period, except for 100 percent outside air units.

2. Unoccupied Space Temperature: Unoccupied space temperature shall be monitored by the DDC temperature sensors located in the individual zones being controlled or within a representative room.

3. Parameter Changes: Operator shall be able to define, modify or delete the following parameters.

a. DNS set point temperature(s).

b. Temperature band for night heating operation.

c. Period when the DNS is to be activated.

C. Timed Local Override (TLO): The system shall have TLO input points that permit the occupants to request an override of equipment that has been scheduled OFF. The system shall turn the equipment ON upon receiving a request from the local input device. Local input devices shall be push button (momentary contact), wind-up timer, or ON/OFF switches as detailed in the I/O summary.

1. Equipment On Time: If a push button is used the system operator shall be able to define the duration of equipment ON time per input pulse and the total maximum ON time permitted. The input point will cancel override time already entered. If a wind-up timer is used the equipment will stay in override mode until the timer expires. Year to date, month to date and current day override history shall be maintained for each TLO input point.

History data shall be accessible by the operator at any time and shall be capable of being automatically stored on hard disk and/or printed on a daily basis.

D. Space Temperature Control (STC): There shall be two space temperature set points, one for cooling and one for heating, separated by a dead band. Only one of the two set points shall be operative at any time. The cooling set point is operative if the actual space temperature has more recently been equal to or greater than the cooling set point. The heating set point is operative if the actual space temperature has more recently been equal to or less than the heating set point. There are two modes of operation for the set points, one for the occupied mode (example: heating = 72 degrees F or 22 degrees C, cooling = 76 degrees F or 24.4 degrees C) and one for the unoccupied mode (example: heating = 55 degrees F or 12.7 degrees C, cooling = 90 degrees F or 32 degrees C).

INTEGRATED AUTOMATION 25 00 00 - 20

1. Schedule: The occupied/unoccupied modes may be scheduled by time, date, or day of week.

2. Color Code: One of seven colors shall be generated to represent the comfort conditions in the space, and shall be displayed graphically at the operator station.

a. If the actual space temperature is in the dead band between the heating set point and the cooling set point, the color displayed shall be green for the occupied mode, representing ideal comfort conditions. If in the unoccupied mode, the color displayed shall be gray representing 'after-hours' conditions.

b. If the space temperature rises above the cooling set point, the color shall change to yellow. Upon further rise beyond the cooling set point plus an offset, the color shall change to orange. Upon further rise beyond the cooling set point plus the yellow band offset, plus the orange band offset, the color shall change to red indicating unacceptable high temperature conditions. At this point an alarm shall be generated to notify the operator.

c. When space temperature falls below the heating set point, the color shall change to light blue. Upon further temperature decrease below the heating set point minus an offset, the color shall change to dark blue. Upon further space temperature decrease below the heating set point minus the light blue band offset minus the dark blue band offset the color shall change to red indicating unacceptable low temperature conditions. At this point an alarm shall be generated to notify the operator.

3. Operator Definable: All set points and offsets shall be operator definable.

When in the occupied mode, start-up mode, or when heating or cooling during the night setback unoccupied mode, a request shall be sent over the network to other equipment in the HVAC chain, such as to an AHU fan that serves the space, to run for ventilation. The operator shall be able to disable this request function if desired.

4. Additional Cooling: When comfort conditions are warmer than ideal, indicated by the colors yellow, orange, and high temperature red, a request for additional cooling shall be sent over the network to other cooling equipment in the HVAC chain, such as a chiller. This information is to be used for optimization of equipment in the HVAC chain. The operator shall be able to disable this function if desired.

5. Additional Heating: When comfort conditions are cooler than ideal;

indicated by the colors light blue, dark blue, and low temperature red; a request for additional heating shall be sent over the network to other heating equipment in the HVAC chain, such as a boiler. This information is to be used for optimization of equipment in the HVAC chain.
