What Is Sustainability ?
“ sustainable development meets the needs
of today without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own
needs”
World Commission on Environment and Development 1987

ASHRAE Position
“supports building sustainability as a
means to provide safe, healthy,
comfortable indoor environment while
simultaneously limiting the impact on the
Earth’s natural resources”
![Page 4: “Condenser Water Heat - birminghamashrae.combirminghamashrae.com/uploads/file/ASHRAE Condenser Water Heat... · • Understanding Alternative Equipment, Refrigerant Options and](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022012405/5c9fca5788c993c5178c08bf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Why Sustainable Design?
• Buildings In The US Consume 39% Of Our Total Energy
• 70% Of Our Electricity Annually
• 5 Billion Gallons Potable Water Per Day For Toilets
• Typical Construction Generates 2.5 lbs. Of Solid Waste Per Square Foot
• High Performance Building Practices Can Reduce These Negative Environmental Impacts

And Don’t Forget HCFC-22
• HCFC-22 phase-out in 2010 for new equipment
and 2020 for service tail production
– Consider alternatives for HCFCs now
• Recommended actions
– Select high efficiency units that use zero ozone
depleting refrigerants like HFC-410A, HFC-134a and
HFC-407C

Considerations when Replacing or Retrofitting
• Difficulties in Servicing and Maintaining Existing HCFC Equipment.
• Declining Availability of HCFC Refrigerants.
• Adequate Life-Cycle Timeframes for New Equipment using HCFC’s.
• Determining the Remaining Life-Cycle of Existing Equipment.
• Understanding Alternative Equipment, Refrigerant Options and Compatibility of Both Refrigerants and Equipment.
• Containment is Key……………

Green
• ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1
– LEED requires you comply with 90.1 and
exceed it for more points.
– LEED requires some water conservation and
reducing evaporation from towers qualifies.
– Heat Recovery chiller in the condenser
stream reduces water evaporation.

Looks like a normal chiller!
They are!!!

Heat Recovery Design
• Generally Design Boiler Load Greater Than Design
Chiller THR (Total Heat of Rejection)
– Actual Design Heat Recovery Rate Requires Annual Energy
Analysis
– Almost Never Boiler Or THR Design Capacity
– Load Will Be Met By Combination Of HR And Boiler
• THR = 1.25 x Chiller Capacity
• Only One Chiller Need Be HR Type In Multiple Chiller
Plant
– Must Be First On, Last Off

Heat Recovery Control
“During Heat Recovery Mode, Maintain Boiler
Return Water Temperature At 95ºF” – Boiler Supply Water Temperature Will “Float” Depending On
Actual Heating Load In Building
– 25% Boiler Load = 100°F SWT (5°F Temperature Range)
Not
“During Heat Recovery Mode, Maintain Boiler
Supply Water Temperature At 105ºF” – 25% Boiler Load = 100°F RWT
– Entering Condenser WT will be 5°F Higher Than Above
– Boiler Will Still Be Required
– Same Amount Of Energy Will Be Recovered
– Chiller will Work A Lot (10%) Harder

Sizing HR Chillers
• Using the THR Of Chillers Rated Cooling Capacity For HR
Design Is Not Recommended
– Undersized Chiller Will Miss HR Opportunity
– Oversized Chiller Will Waste Capital
– Possible Surge Issues
• Manual Method Described In ASHRAE Chiller Heat
