Commissioning: Optimizing New and Existing Buildings and their Operation
Chair:
Annie Smith, P.E., Ross & Baruzzini
Technical Committee: 7.6 Building Energy Performance
This seminar dives deep into evaluating the options for a replacement chiller retrofit. Options were evaluated using a feasibility study, a data-driven energy model, lifecycle cost analysis and detailed trend analysis. After installation, controls optimization strategies were used to bring further value to the project to ensure proper efficient operation and energy savings. Lessons learned concerning construction oversight, performance-based commissioning and the approach to the controls optimization are presented.
1 Case Study: Critically Evaluating Replacement Chiller Options beyond Lifecycle Cost Analysis
This presentation covers the approach, methodology and lessons learned of a performance-based chiller retrofit project. The performance evaluation included a life-cycle cost assessment of replacement options that involved a data-driven energy model and an accurate understanding of the baseline energy consumption in the existing condition through a building survey and detailed trend analysis. Lessons learned from construction oversight and performance-based commissioning is also presented.
