- 2. Presenter Info • Gary Nelson • Iain Walker • Scientist • Brett Dillon • President • Lawrence • Chair, TC • The Energy Berkeley National • IBS Advisors, LLC Conservatory Laboratory Monday, March 14, 2011
- 3. TC Litmus Test 1. Accuracy 2. Profitability 3. Easier Monday, March 14, 2011
- 4. Technical Committee Process • Work assigned to Performance Testing Subcommittee • Draft created & reviewed by full Technical Committee for comments • Technical Committee comments addressed by Subcommittee • 2nd version released for Technical Committee vote to go out for public comment • Sent to Board of Directors for vote to release for public comment • Public comments received • Public comments addressed by Subcommittee • Revised version sent to full Technical Committee for vote • If approved, sent to Standards Committee & then Board for approval • If not approved, sent back to Subcommittee for further revision Monday, March 14, 2011
- 5. Chapter 8 Content • Infrared (already approved & released by Board of Directors), session 7, Wednesday Salon 7 • Combustion Safety & Work Scope (already approved & released by Board of Directors), session 8, Wednesday Salon 3 • Infiltration Testing • Duct Leakage Testing • Ventilation & Exhaust Flow Testing • Static Pressure Testing (to be done next) Monday, March 14, 2011
- 6. Infiltration • Standard Level of Accuracy • Reduced Level of Accuracy • Single Point Test • Multi-point Test • Repeated Single Point Test Monday, March 14, 2011
- 7. Standard Level of Accuracy • Baseline pressure < 5.0 Pa • Record indoor & outdoor temperatures within 10º F • Record altitude if > 5,000 ft above sea level Monday, March 14, 2011
- 8. Reduced Level of Accuracy • Baseline pressure > 5.0 Pa, < 10 Pa • Record indoor & outdoor temperatures within 10º F • Record altitude if > 5,000 ft above sea level • Corrected CFM50 x extending factor (1 + (0.1 x (50 / induced building pressure))) Monday, March 14, 2011
- 9. Single Point Test • Baseline readings • ∆ 50 Pa • If above 5,000 feet or ∆ T > 30º F, CFM50 must be corrected • Altitude correction = 1 + (0.000006 x altitude) • Temperature correction found in table • Nominal CFM50 x altitude correction x temperature correction = corrected CFM50 Monday, March 14, 2011
- 10. Multi-point Test • Baseline readings • ∆ 60 Pa • 7 additional readings between 15 Pa & 60 Pa, equally spaced • If uncertainty < 10%, Standard Level of Accuracy • If uncertainty > 10%, Reduced Level of Accuracy Monday, March 14, 2011
- 11. Monday, March 14, 2011
- 12. Repeated Single Point Test • Baseline readings • ∆ 50 Pa 5x • Performed 5 x • Average CFM50 readings • Average corrected CFM50 = average nominal CFM50 x altitude correction x temperature correction Monday, March 14, 2011
- 13. Duct Leakage • Leakage to Outside • RESNET Standard • ASHRAE Std 152, Annex B • ASTM Std E-1554, Method A • ASTM Std E-1554, Method B • Total Leakage • RESNET Standard • ASHRAE Std 152, Annex C Monday, March 14, 2011
