The operator shall be able to modify any meter parameters on an individual basis at any time 6. The operator shall be able to display or print all parameters associated with a particular demand meter on request 7. The power demand program shall operate on a sliding window basis. Each minute shall be considered to be in the middle of the cycle interval. The demand data shall be gathered each minute. The data from the last N minutes (where N equals one-half the interval length) shall then be used to create a best fit first-degree polynomial curve. The curve shall then be examined at what would be the end of the interval (N minutes ahead). If this value is greater than the shed limit, the power demand program shall calculate the excess load and initiate load shedding. The shedding shall begin with the lowest priority loads and shall be governed by the point's minimum on time, maximum off time, point disability, and status of the space temperature point (if one has been defined). If the point has not satisfied (continuously) its minimum on time, if the maximum off time has already been reached, if the point is disabled, or if the space temperature point is in alarm, the load initially shall not be shed. If the power demand program finds that it has examined all loads in all priorities and more shedding is still necessary, according to the predicted load, it shall go back to the lowest level and re-examine the points, this time overlooking the status of space temperature points. If it is still unable to adequately reduce the load level, the operator shall be informed of the number of kilowatts still needed to be shed. Under no circumstances shall the system shed a load if the point's minimum on time has not been satisfied or if the point is disabled. 8. If at any time after load shedding has been initiated, the system forecasts the end of cycle consumption to be below the restore limit, the power demand program shall begin
DIRECT DIGITAL CONTROL (DDC) SYSTEM FOR HVAC 230923 - 41 ACPS BMS Master Spec
starting up the loads in order to bring the system back into the state in which it was operating before the shedding began. Load restoration shall be performed in inverse order from that observed in the shedding process. The first group of points to be restored shall consist of those whose sample area is in alarm. The second group shall be the remainder of the power demand monitored points that are currently off and have met their minimum off time. Under no circumstances shall the power demand program restore a point that is either disabled or has not yet satisfied its minimum off time. The starts shall be performed in an efficient manner, each being delayed by the amount of time specified by the preceding point within the same controller. When enough load has been restored so that the forecasted consumption is above the restore limit, the power demand program shall discontinue the restoration process. 9. Points that are both duty cycled and power demand monitored may be shed by the power demand program, but shall only be started up by the duty cycler. If the duty cycler deems it necessary to start such a point, it shall determine whether the point is off due to load shedding or normal cycling. If the point was shed and an entire power demand program interval has not elapsed since the time of the shed, the duty cycler shall then locate and shed enough other load to allow the original point to be started, without affecting the total system power consumption. 10. A power demand profile shall be available to the operator upon request. The profile shall be displayed or printed by operator selection. The profile shall include the demand meter description, the time, date, demand limit, restore limit, interval length, current demand, highest demand today and time of occurrence, highest demand yesterday and time of occurrence, highest demand during current billing period with time and date of occurrence, and the highest demand for the last 11 billing periods by billing period with time and date of occurrence, and the highest demand for the last 11 billing periods by billing period with time and date of occurrence.

The calculations shall consider occupancy time, outdoor temperature, indoor temperature, desired indoor temperature at occupancy, the capacity of the air handler(s), and the zone's heat gain/loss rate. 2. The program shall run at a reschedule interval of no more than five minutes beginning at an hour that is certain to be before the start-up time for all of the optimum start zones. The program shall examine each zone at the frequency defined for that zone. 3. When the program determines that the optimum start time has been reached, it shall start all of the air handling units included in the zone definition. 4. At the zone occupancy time, the system shall record the actual zone temperature and any deviation from desired temperature. If any unit within the zone was found to have been off-line between the startup time and the occupancy time, the data shall be flagged as invalid. 5. Optimum start zones shall be defined by the operator through the operator's terminal. Parameters shall include as a minimum: a. Occupancy time for each day of the week

END OF SECTION
PART 4 - SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS
4.01 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
General:
A. The management and control system functionality specified in a sequence of operation, specified herein, in the schedule of point descriptions, or shown on the drawings shall be supplied in full without exception. The BAS contractor shall be responsible for providing all necessary equipment, hardware, software, programming, and tuning to achieve the specified sequences of operation. However, the provided control sequences and BAS functions including alarms, monitoring, reset functions, and operational sequences shall not necessarily be limited to the specified point schedules and written sequences of operation if additional functions are needed for the specified operation. It shall be the responsibility of the BAS Contractor to review the drawings and applicable Specifications to determine the complete Project requirements. Any deviations from these Contract Documents shall be submitted in written form for review by the Owner's Representative. Complete drawings and itemizations of deviations shall be included with the shop drawings and submittals.
1. Provide the operating sequence described in detail in the following paragraphs. The sequence shall not be deviated from unless a proposed change is submitted with justifying reasons approved by ACPS and a Change Order is issued. Inability of the proposed control system logic to produce the desired sequence is not grounds for approval of a change. Furnish adequate programming capability for the sequence outlined below.
2. Equipment Response Time – Operating program shall be arranged so that system components such as valve, damper and VAV box operators shall require no more than 12 minutes elapse time to complete a totally closed to totally open position cycle if space conditions are such that continued movement in one direction is necessary.
3. System operation printouts shall be accurate and sufficiently detailed to establish that the specified sequence is being affected.
DIRECT DIGITAL CONTROL (DDC) SYSTEM FOR HVAC 230923 - 77 ACPS BMS Master Spec
4. Control shall be direct digital Owner programmable microprocessor located in the field, unless otherwise specified
5. Equipment listed in the following Input/Output Summaries shall have the necessary electric and electronic equipment, material and supplies added to accomplish the indicated actions. Present time clock functions shall be done by the IFID.
6. Provide all equipment listed in the following input/output summaries with individual times override switches located in the boiler room or adjacent equipment room.
7. All points indicated in the Input/Output summaries shall be displayed on the proper computer graphic display screen.
8. Scheduling Terminology: When control zones are scheduled throughout the day, the following defines the terminology used:
a) Day or Occupied Period: period of time when the building is in use and occupied. This period is defined as follows:
Elementary Schools – 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday – Friday
Exclude all County holidays. Systems shall be fully operational throughout this period and ventilation air shall be continuously introduced.
b) Night or Unoccupied period: period of time when the building or zone is not in use and unoccupied. Ventilation air shall not be introduced. Systems shall be off except to maintain a night setting.
c) Occupancy During Construction: New equipment shall run during the period of time when spaces are turned over. This period is defined as follows:
All Schools – 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Monday – Saturday
Systems shall be fully operational throughout this period and ventilation air shall be continuously introduced.
9. Where any sequence or occupancy schedule calls for more than one motorized unit to start simultaneously, the BAS start commands shall be staggered by 5 second (adj.) intervals to minimize inrush current.
10. Alarm messages specified throughout the sequences are assigned to discrete priority levels. Priority levels dictate the handling and destination of alarm reports, and are defined in Section 3.07.E.
11. All setpoints, deadbands, PID gains, throttling ranges, requests etc. shall be adjustable and shall be easily modifiable, with the proper password
DIRECT DIGITAL CONTROL (DDC) SYSTEM FOR HVAC 230923 - 78 ACPS BMS Master Spec
level, from the operator interface or via a function block menu. For all setpoints, deadbands, throttling ranges, requests etc., it is unacceptable to have to modify programming statements to change the setpoint.
12. Each analog output shall include, as an integral function, a ramp control algorithm that limits the rate of change of an output on an increase in value or a decrease in value. These values shall be adjustable from the graphic screen.
13. Where reset action is specified in a sequence of operation, but a reset schedule is not indicated on the drawings, one of the following methods shall be employed:
a. Contractor shall determine a proportional (P) fixed reset schedule, which shall result in stable operation and shall maintain the primary variable within the specified maximum allowable variance. Reset range maximum and minimum values shall limit the setpoint range.
b. A floating reset (utilizing integral (I)) algorithm shall be used which increments the secondary variable setpoint (setpoint of control loop being reset) on a periodic basis to maintain primary variable setpoint. The recalculation time and reset increment shall be chosen to maintain the primary variable within the specified maximum allowable variance. Reset range maximum and minimum values shall limit the setpoint range.
c. Primary variable shall control the devices directly using a PID feedback control loop without resetting the secondary variable. However, the control devices shall still modulate as necessary to maintain upper and lower limits on the secondary variable. Proportional band, integral gain, and derivative term shall be selected to maintain the primary variable within the specified maximum allowable tolerance while minimizing overshoot and setting time. Reset range maximum and minimum values shall limit the setpoint range. Contractor shall gain prior approval for implementing this method of reset.
14. A floating reset algorithm shall be used which increments the secondary variable (e.g., supply air temperature or duct pressure) setpoint on a periodic basis to maintain primary variable (e.g. space temperature) setpoint. The reset increment shall be determined by the quantity of “need heat” or “need cool” requests from individual ASC’s. An ASC’s “need heat” virtual point shall activate whenever the zone’s space temperature falls below the currently applicable (occupied or unoccupied) heating setpoint minus a fixed value that is adjustable. An ASC’s “need cool” virtual point shall activate whenever the zone’s space temperature rises above the currently applicable (occupied, unoccupied, or economy) cooling setpoint plus a fixed value that is adjustable. The recalculation time and reset increment shall be chosen to maintain the primary variable within the specified maximum allowable variance while
DIRECT DIGITAL CONTROL (DDC) SYSTEM FOR HVAC 230923 - 79 ACPS BMS Master Spec
minimizing overshoot and setting time. Reset range maximum and minimum values shall limit the setpoint range.
15. Where a supply air temperature, duct pressure, or differential water pressure setpoint is specified to be reset by valve or damper position of the zone or zones calling for the most cooling/heating, the following method shall be employed:
a. A floating reset algorithm shall be used which increments the secondary variable (e.g., supply air temperature, pipe or duct pressure) setpoint on a periodic basis to maintain primary variable (e.g. cooling valve, heating valve, damper position) setpoint of 85% open. The reset increment shall be calculated based on the average position of the quantity of the worst (most open valve/damper) zone(s) as specified. The recalculation time, reset increment and control device position influence shall be chosen to maintain the primary variable within the specified maximum allowable variance while minimizing overshoot and setting time. The BAS analog output value shall be acceptable as indicating the position of the control device.
b. Rather than continuously calculating the average of the quantity of worst valve/damper positions, a method similar to the one described above may be employed whereby the “need heat” or “need cool” virtual point shall increment by one unit each time a zone’s valve/damper position rises to greater than 95%. The quantity of “need heat” or “need cool” points shall then be the basis for reset.
16. Where “prove operation” of a device (generally controlled by a digital output) is indicated in the sequence, it shall require that the BAS shall, after an adjustable time delay after the device is commanded to operate (feedback delay), confirm that the operational via the status input. If the status point does not confirm operation after the time delay or thereafter for an adjustable time delay (debounce delay) while the device is commanded to run, an alarm shall be enunciated audibly and via an alarm message at the operator interface and print at the alarm printers. A descriptive message shall be attached to the alarm message indicating the nature of the alarm and actions to be taken. Contractor shall provide messages to meet this intent.
17. Program adjustable maximum rates of change for increasing and decreasing output from the following analog output points:
a) Speed control of variable speed drives (acceleration 0 to 100 percent speed in 30 seconds, deceleration 100 to 0 percent speed in 10 seconds, unless noted otherwise)
b) Chiller supply water setpoint reset (limit to ±1°F per 5 minutes unless noted otherwise)
DIRECT DIGITAL CONTROL (DDC) SYSTEM FOR HVAC 230923 - 80 ACPS BMS Master Spec
c) Chiller demand limit to 10% per minute unless noted otherwise)
18. Wherever a value is indicated to be dependent on another value (i.e.: setpoint plus 5°F) BAS shall use that equation to determine the value. Providing a virtual point that the operator must set is unacceptable. In this case, three virtual points shall be provided: One to store the parameter (5°F); one to store the setpoint; and one to store the value that is the result of the equation.
19. Sequenced Heating and Cooling: BAS shall control the heating and cooling coils, mechanical cooling and heating and air side economizer as detailed for the particular equipment. Program logic shall directly prohibit the mechanical cooling and heating to be energized as well as the heating source to be energized and economizer damper to be open (or above minimum) simultaneously unless specifically noted. This does not apply to cooling and reheat valves that are used simultaneously for dehumidification.
20. Mixed Air Low Override: BAS shall override the signal to the OA damper via a proportional only loop to maintain a minimum mixed air temperature of 45°F (adj.) (loop shall output 0% at 45°F which shall be passed to the output via a software programmed low selector).
21. Freeze Safety: Upon operation of a freeze stat, unit shall be de-energized with the exception of the heating loops. Supply and return fans, heating valve, O/A damper and chilled water valve shall be de-energized via hardwired interlock. BAS shall enunciate appropriate alarms which shall initiate “fan failure” alarms.
22. Smoke Safety: Upon indication of smoke by a smoke detector, the mechanical unit shall be de-energized by a hardwired interlock. OA dampers cooling valve and heating valve shall spring to the failsafe position.
