Problem, Solution, Results6 7. The Problem Poor energy efficiency across campus Most systems operated 14-18 hours per day Energy consumption (2008): 163 kBTU/sq. ft. Restricted budget Redundant, time consuming data entry7 8. The Opportunity Event Management System Dean Evans EMS Low classroom use Average of 17% campus-wide Opportunity to link to HVAC, lighting,8 and door controls 9. The Solution Update systems to direct digital 1 control Integrate Systems with 2 Honeywell EBI Implement demand-limiting load 3 shedding Implement Events2HVAC 49 10. 1. Direct Digital Control Pneumatic Control Assumes AHU Control on/off No remote control of Zone Some night setback control air pressure Early DDC (30-40 years old) Major systems only Chillers, AHUs, Pumps, Boilers No communication between different manufacturers Modern DDC supports open protocol10 Zone Control for individual rooms 11. 2.
