Technical Committee: 07.03 Operation and Maintenance Management
An HVAC systems assessment was required and completed on a science building just 13 years old. Using ASHRAE Level III Auditing combined with a new field test method that scores the installed HVAC system performance, a surgical approach to improving building efficiency was created. This data was then used to diagnose the systems and create a scope of work for the project enabling confident decision making and the realization of energy savings by facility managers. Past ASHRAE fellow Bob Baker contributed guidance for this project.
1 Utilities Perspective

Melvin Johnson Jr., National Comfort Institute |
An HVAC systems assessment and HVAC retrofit was required and completed on a science building just 10 years old. A unique approach to assessing the needed system upgrades was undertaken. The project approach included an ASHRAE Level III audit plus gathering additional field test data to score the operating efficiency of the HVAC systems. This data was then used to diagnose the systems and create a scope of work for the project.
2 Energy Perspective

Upon completion of the audit and retrofit work, testing was completed to measure, document, quantify and verify the energy and water savings produced by the system upgrades.
