It seems so recently that I was verynervously delivering my speech andassuming the role of President atthe May meeting, but here we are ayear later with me writing my finalPresident’s Message. I’m amazed athow quickly the year has flown by.May marks our final monthlyprogram meeting of the 2016-2017ASHRAE year. Our May meeting isdesignated as our Past President’sand Companion Evening, and fittinglyso the theme is History. We arefortunate to have a number of ourPast Presidents regularly inattendance at our May meeting, andit is great to see so many familiarfaces year after year. Our History co-chairs Aaron Dobson and JeremyStrong will have a table top historydisplay to showcase the evolution ofour chapter over the last 60+ years.

Again, we return to the CenturionCentre for the May meeting. Ourprogram for the evening will bepresented by ASHRAE DL VictorGoldschmidt and focus onLeadership. Refer to the programarticle for more details. To registerfor the upcoming May meeting pleasevisit our website at: www.ashrae.ottawa.on.ca

I’d like to take a moment to thankeveryone involved in the OttawaValley Chapter. First and foremost,I’d like to thank the Executive, Boardof Governors, committee members,

and Sandy Taylor for all thesupport. It is the dedication of theseindividuals that makes the OttawaValley Chapter one of the mostsuccessful ASHRAE chapters. Thankyou.

Although at first I must admit I washesitant to join the executive, I’vethoroughly enjoyed the experience,and it has been an honour to serve. Ilook forward to continuingparticipation in the future. There areseveral things I will take away withme from my Presidential year. On apersonal note, your patience andunderstanding has certainly helpedme become more comfortable withpublic speaking. So much so thatwhen I recently visited the Universityof Ottawa to speak with engineeringstudents about my career and theimportance of getting involved withindustry specific organizations suchas ASHRAE and the benefits thatcome along with participation Iwasn’t even nervous. Some items weas a chapter can be particularlyproud of include:

• Our membership numbers are upfrom previous years.

• We have two teams from local post-secondary institutes working towardssubmissions for the ASHRAE StudentDesign Competition.

• We offered a good mix of strongtechnical topics and other events,

like the technical sessions and tours,to benefit our membership.

• We confirmed our commitment withASHRAE Society to fund over thenext 5-years an ASHRAE OVCScholarship to annually provide asource of funds to a worthy localstudent recipient, encouraging moreyoung people to find a career in ourindustry.

Moving forward, the chapter is invery capable hands. Although nextyear’s Board of Governors, Executiveand many volunteers are a confidentand extremely competent group ofindividuals, I ask everyone to pleasegive your full support to incomingPresident Adam Graham next yearand I look forward to the great thingsto come for the OVC. Enjoy yoursummer, and see you back atASHRAE in the fall.

Thank you,

President Abbey Saunders calledthe seventh meeting of the2016/2017 season to order. Themeeting took place at TheCenturion Conference and EventCenter. President Saundersintroduced the Board of Governorsand the Executive.

Secretary Chris Fudge introducedthe evening’s seven guests. Totalattendance for the meeting was fiftyfive.

President Elect Adam Grahamgave an update on ResearchPromotion (RP). The ASHRAEOVC RP campaign is currently at$22,000 for the 2016/2017 season.The research promotion prize for thenight was be a 50/50 draw.

President Abbey Saunders gave anupdate an on ASHRAE CTTCAwards. The chapter awardsprogram winners will be presented atthe May meeting.

Nominations committee chairBob Kilpatrick presented the resultsof nominations for the executive andboard of governors. New to theExecutive is Aaron Dobson for theposition of secretary and new to theboard of governors is Jacob Hough.

CTTC chair Jacob Hough gave anoverview of the technical tour doneat the Dilfo sheet metal shop.

President Abbey Saunders gave anupdate on chapter service awardsand encouraged members to updatetheir BIOS. Many members of theOttawa Valley chapter have servedthe membership in ways other thanchapter committees or the executiveand might qualify for a serviceaward.

Peter Shaw-Wood gave an updateon student activities. He discusseda recent presentation done at theUniversity of Ottawa. He alsomentioned that many students arelooking for jobs right now and that ifcompany are interested in hiring astudent to please contact him.

The evening’s speaker Dr. Paul

Lebbin assisted Mr. Graham with the50/50 draw. Cathy Godin won thedraw. 270 dollars was raised forASHRAE Research.

The evening’s program subject wasAircraft Ventilation SystemOperation and Enabling theCanadian Industry to Improve itsDesign. Dr. Lebbin is a ResearchCouncil Officer for the NationalResearch Council of Canada(NRC). Dr. Lebbin is the projectmanager for the new Cabin Comfort& Environment Research Centerunder construction in Ottawa.

One of the main points of theevening’s session can be made by anoverview of the differences betweenair craft ventilation systems andbuilding HVAC systems. The marketdifferences between HVAC and aircraft ventilation are significant. Theglobal construction market is in thearea of $8.4 T while Aerospacemarket is $300 B. The costs arevastly different though withaerospace being roughly ten timesthe cost per “bolt”. Buildings are alsotypically custom while aerospacesystems are mass produced. Theaerospace industry is extremely riskaverse while construction industryhas low to moderate risk aversion.

Many of the standard terminology isalso different from one industry tothe other. AHU’s are called air cyclemachines or “Air Pack”, reheat iscalled trim for example. Operationalenvironments are also very different.Certifications are done at 8,000 ft inaerospace and wind chills inaerospace can reach -180F.Occupancy rates per square foot areover 10 times greater in aerospace.There is essentially zero humidity ataltitude. Fresh air content of supplyair is typically 40% to 100% fresh air,where in buildings it is 10%–20%.Different standards are used tocalculate ventilation rates. Theresults are that air change rates inaerospace are typically from 25 to 30ACH. There are also more detaileddata on contaminants than typicalbuildings. IAQ standards inaerospace publish acceptable valuesfor many different contaminants.

Pressurization must be provided. Ahuman will remain conscious formaximum 15 seconds at 45,000 feetwithout pressurization. This is whyflight attendants recommend youplace the oxygen mask over yourface prior to assisting anyone else,upon loss of cabin pressure. At25,000 ft that time is extended to amaximum of 5 minutes without thecabin pressurization systems. Flightspressurization and depressurizationrates are limited through industrystandards. Reasons are for stress onhuman ear as well as the fuselage ofthe plane.

There are no limits for relativehumidity in the aerospace industry.The only sources of humidity are theoccupants and the hot/cold drinksserved on the plane.

At ground operation the ventilationair is fed directly to the air planefrom ground HVAC systems.Alternate ground operation of theventilation system comes from theauxiliary power unit. This is nottypical. For the rest of theoperation; taxi, takeoff, climb, cruiseand descent ventilation air comesfrom the engines. Bleed portlocations vary by engine typehowever the air almost always comesfrom the engine. The air that isintroduced from the engines is hightemperature. This hot air isintroduced into a pre-cooler. Thisdevice gets the air down to atemperature that will not harm thepassengers. The air is then sent tothe air cycling machine. Air craftcabin air distribution is normally amulti-zone system. The airtemperature is controlled using trimair. This unit controls the cabinpressure and temperature. Deliveryinto the air craft is typically throughslot diffusers located at the perimeterof the passenger cabin.

Environmental control system(ECS) other considerations are;avionics as they generate a lot ofheat, galleys, personal airflow outlets(PAO), lavatories, crew rest area andcabin liner. Pressure control isnormally accomplished through twovalves at the rear of the aircraft.

ECS exceptions: Boing 787Dreamliner. These units havegenerators that are powered off themain engines. These generatorsprovide power to turbo compressorsthat provide ventilation air to the airchanger machine. Thesecompressors are variable speed so asto improve energy efficiency of theair craft. The standard bleedsystems requires regulating pressuredown through modulation of valvesas the air is delivered at a constantpressure.

NRC value proposition, throughcollaboration helps airframers, theaerospace supply chain, operatorsand regulators to meet the growingconsumer demand for economicaland comfortable air transport:o Enhance passenger comforto Improve flight operations efficiencyo Increase cabin safety

Focus on integrated human systemsengineering. NRC’s partners willlearn; new ways to improve cabin

comfort and crew effectiveness,evaluate new product designs andcabin layouts and reduce certificationand installation risks. Theaerospace industry is risk averse.NRC will provide an environmentwhere systems can be tested at norisk to passenger safety. This willassist with introduction of newtechnologies and systems.

A new building is being constructedat the Uplands Airport. Thepurpose of the facility is to provide arealistic passenger environment.The facility is layout out like a typicalairport terminal which serves a fewpurposes one being to acclimatizethe passengers to controllerenvironment prior to theexperiments. The ECS system atUplands does not have redundancyas in the event of failure there is nodanger. There is a gas fired make upair unit which can providetemperature controlled and very dryair at 5% RH. The supply air isprovided through standard airhandler is lieu of the systems thatprovide pressurized air on an aircraft. There are chillers used to coolsupply air from the air handler aswell as fresh air being treated by themake up air unit.

Dr. Lebbin gave a very detailedoverview of the cabin environmentthat is recreated at the NRC Uplands

site. Thermal manikins are used tosimulate passengers during some ofthe experiments. These manikinshave roughly a 100W heat output.

Other areas of study are acoustics.Many newer air craft are gettingquite quiet which is not necessarilydesirable. Systems are being lookedat to provide ambient noise in orderto mask cabin noise.

The cabin simulator is an order ortwo magnitude less expensive tomodify for experiments. It creates aplayground for companies to testnew technologies. The NRC facilitywill allow smaller Canadian players toplay on a global stage.

President Abbey Saunders thankedDr. Lebbin for his presentation andpresented him with a gift.

Mrs. Saunders reminded membersthat next month’s meeting is at theCenturion Conference and EventCenter. President Saunders alsonoted that the ASHRAE HVACessential course is taking place thisMay in Toronto and spaces are stillavailable.

Meeting adjourned.

Technical Tour Wrap-up

Dilfo Mechanical hosted a tour oftheir facility on April 18 from 3pm to4:30pm. There was a group of 15-20ppl in attendance. The tour beganwith an oveview of the shop andfabrication process followed by a tourof the shop floor by the foreman.Following the tour, there was apresentation on the CAD/CAM

package that is used and how thesemodels are created and implementedinto fabrication.

The tour was very interesting and animpressive look at how newtechnologies are being implementedin the world of mechanicalcontracting. Thank you to Pierre for

organizing and to all of Dilfo for theirhelp in putting this on.

ICC Partnership With ASHRAE,AIA, USGBC And IES MeansHigher Performing Buildings WillBe Easier To Achieve

ATLANTA – A unified green buildingcode that could become thefoundation for LEED certification wascreated in 2011, thanks to apartnership among ASHRAE, theInternational Code Council (ICC), theAmerican Institute of Architects(AIA), the Illuminating EngineeringSociety (IES), and the U.S. GreenBuilding Council (USGBC).

That effort got a boost in August2014, when ICC and ASHRAE agreedto align the technical requirements ofASHRAE's Standard 189.1 forHigh Performance GreenBuildings (189.1) with ICC'sInternational Green ConstructionCode (IgCC) into one single modelcode.

With that agreement, and with thesubsequent definition of eachorganization's roles, the ASHRAEStandard 189.1 committeecontinued revising the standard so itcould provide technical content forthe IgCC, with the ICC responsiblefor the administrative sections andpublication.

This integrated document, coined the"IgCC powered by 189.1," willbecome the 2018 version of the IgCC(2018-IgCC), due to be published insummer 2018.

"The 2018-IgCC will provide thedesign and construction industry withthe single, most effective way todeliver sustainable, resilient, high-performance buildings," saidInternational Code Council BoardPresident M. Dwayne Garriss,Georgia State Fire Marshal. "The'IgCC-powered-by-189.1' jointinitiative framed the essentialsustainable construction building

blocks on which future resilientinitiatives can develop and expand.We appreciate the dedication andefforts of our partners, ICC Membersand all who contributed to thedevelopment of the IgCC powered by189.1."

By collaborating on developing the2018-IgCC, these organizationsenvision a new era of building designand construction that includesenvironmental health and safety ascode minimums. The goal of the2018-IgCC is to provide fundamentalcriteria for energy efficiency,resource conservation, water safety,land use, site development, indoorenvironmental quality and buildingperformance that can be adoptedbroadly.

With that foundation, localjurisdictions can build uponregulatory requirements byleveraging complementaryleadership strategies that supportand encourage the evolution of thebuilding community. Initial steps inachieving these outcomes includepublishing the 2018-IgCC,streamlining compliance for alignedstrategies in LEED certification, andpromoting the use andimplementation of these tools.

The Integration of ASHRAEStandard 189.1 & IgCC

As a standing project committee, theASHRAE 189.1 committee hasupdated the technical aspects ofStandard 189.1-2014 usingASHRAE's continuous maintenanceprocedures. To publish the updatedversion of the standard in 2017, thecommittee has deadlines for themany revisions being proposed sothey can be included in the 2018-IgCC publication.

ASHRAE's ANSI-approved process forthese proposed changes to the

standard will be wrapping up thissummer, with final addendaundergoing public review now. Laterthis year, the final set of changes forthe 2017 version of Standard 189.1will be delivered to ICC. At that time,ICC will develop the administrativeprocedures for the technical contentand codify the document into the2018-IgCC.

In anticipation of this timeline, ICCdid not retain the IgCC committee in2015. Members of the ICCSustainability, Energy & HighPerformance Building Code ActionCommittee (SEHPCAC) have,however, contributed to the 189.1process, providing recommendationsand proposals within the 189.1process that seek to carry overprovisions from the 2015 IgCC into189.1.

These proposals, and those fromother stakeholders, have resulted inseveral dozen changes to the 2017version of Standard 189.1, and inthese efforts, the integration of thesetwo documents has begun to takeshape. The further integration ofgreen building strategies willcontinue since Standard 189.1 is oncontinuous maintenance, meaningthe revision process is ongoing, butthose further revisions will not affectthe 2018-IgCC content.

USGBC Alignment with GreenCodes and LEED

Since the initial announcement of the"IgCC powered by 189.1" in 2015,the USGBC has made progress onrecognizing the important role ofgreen building codes for voluntary

rating systems and LEEDcertification.

In the summer of 2015, GreenBusiness Certification Inc. (GBCI)announced a package of measuresrequired by California's statewideGreen Building Standards Code(CALGreen) that can now bestreamlined when a project seeksLEED certification. More streamliningis anticipated in California and,importantly, this breakthrough inaligning code requirements withLEED pioneered an approach that theUSGBC can leverage for aligning withforthcoming versions of the IgCC.

Once the technical content of the2018-IgCC are known (following thehandoff from ASHRAE to ICC laterthis year), the USGBC will undertakean analysis of the measures from themodel green code and compare themto LEED requirements. This processwill begin while the 2018-IgCC isbeing codified. The USGBC andGBCI anticipate being able tocommunicate further progress onalignment at Greenbuild this year.

Promoting the IgCC in 2018

While the publication of the 2018-IgCC in a little over a year will be amilestone achievement, it is only thebeginning. In forming the historicagreement among ASHRAE, ICC,AIA, IES and USGBC, theseorganizations envision a new era ofdesign and construction where greencodes become widespread.

To help realize the vision, a concertedeffort will begin to actively promotethe 2018 model green code with thegoal of gaining wide-scale adoption.The details of this promotion arebeing formed now, but efforts willbegin in early 2018.

Additional details of this co-promotion will be announced laterthis year.

ASHRAE Enhances ELearningCatalog, Launches New CoursesOn Professional Ethics AndControlling Moisture In Buildings

ATLANTA – ASHRAE has added twonew courses to its eLearning Centercatalog – “Ethics for the BuiltEnvironment Professional Engineer”and “School of Hard Knocks:Controlling Moisture & Humidity inBuildings.”

The “Ethics for the Built EnvironmentProfessional Engineer” courseprovides an overview of engineeringethics – including explaining thecommon framework for ethicaldecisions and providing keydefinitions needed by everyprofessional engineer in today’sworkplace. ASHRAE’s Code ofEthics and the National Society ofProfessional Engineers’ (NSPE)Code of Ethics are also discussed.Additionally, a review of severalethical case studies from the NSPEhelps course takers betterunderstand the duties and decisionsfaced by professionals within thebuilt environment industry.

The “School of Hard Knocks:Controlling Moisture & Humidity inBuildings” course provides a wealthof lessons about moisture andhumidity-related imperatives ofdesign – both architectural andmechanical – and about moistureissues in construction and operation.The training shows specifics on howdry buildings are more resilient,comfortable and energy-efficientthan damp or moldy buildings.

“There is a clear need for easilyaccessible and effective training forour industry professionals, andASHRAE is committed to providingthose resources. That is why welaunched the ASHRAE eLearningCenter last year,” says ASHRAEPresident Tim Wentz, FellowASHRAE, HBDP. “Offering all ofASHRAE’s world-class educationalproducts – including these two new

courses – in one location is asignificant step forward for theindustry. The ASHRAE eLearningCenter is helping our industry’sengineers meet their professionalgoals more efficiently, which in turn,better equips them to create a futurewhere the built environment ishealthier, more comfortable andmore energy efficient.”

In addition to these two newofferings, the ASHRAE eLearningCenter is full of interactive coursesdesigned by ASHRAE professionalsthat provide educational resourceson a wide range of selected buildingtechnology topics.

Whether it is enhancing andextending in-person training,growing core technical skills throughself-guided study or peer-to-peercollaboration in discussion forums,ASHRAE’s eLearning Center bringsconvenience and value to industryprofessionals through distancelearning opportunities. Becausethey’re web-based, all courses andtrainings are available 24 hours aday, seven days a week.

Additionally, ASHRAE’s eLearningcourses are recognized by moststates for ProfessionalDevelopment Hours (PDHs) orContinuing Education Credits (B).ASHRAE recommends users checkwith their specific State Board forprofessional developmentrequirements.
