  • Hvac System Covid Procedures
    HVAC SYSTEM COVID PROCEDURES August 17, 2020 Prepared by: Johnson Roberts Associates 15 Properzi Way Somerville, MA 02143 Prepared for: City of Cambridge Executive Summary The HVAC COVID procedures are a compilation of Industry Standards and CDC recommendations. However, it should be noted that good PPE (personal protective equipment), social distancing, hand washing/hygiene, and surface cleaning and disinfection strategies should be performed with HVAC system measures, as studies have shown that diseases are easily transmitted via direct person to person contact, contact from inanimate objects (e.g. room furniture, door and door knob surfaces) and through hand to mucous membrane (e.g. those in nose, mouth and eyes) contact than through aerosol transmission via a building’s HVAC system. Prior to re-occupying buildings, it is recommended that existing building HVAC systems are evaluated to ensure the HVAC system is in proper working order and to determine if the existing system or its associated control operation can be modified as part of a HVAC system mitigation strategy. Any identified deficiencies should be repaired and corrected, and if the building HVAC system is a good candidate for modifications those measures should be implemented. In general HVAC system mitigation strategies should include the following recommendations: 1. Increase Outdoor Air. The OA increase must be within Unit's capacity in order to provide adequate heating or cooling so Thermal Comfort is not negatively impacted. Also use caution when increasing OA in polluted areas (e.g. High Traffic/City areas) and during times of high pollen counts. 2. Disable Demand Control Ventilation where present.

  • Measured Performance of a Mixed-Use Commercial-Building Ground Source Heat Pump System in Sweden
    energies Article Measured Performance of a Mixed-Use Commercial-Building Ground Source Heat Pump System in Sweden Jeffrey D. Spitler 1,* and Signhild Gehlin 2 1 School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK 74078, USA 2 Swedish Geoenergy Center, Västergatan 11, 221 04 Lund, Sweden; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 3 May 2019; Accepted: 20 May 2019; Published: 27 May 2019 Abstract: When the new student center at Stockholm University in Sweden was completed in the fall of 2013 it was thoroughly instrumented. The 6300 m2 four-story building with offices, a restaurant, study lounges, and meeting rooms was designed to be energy efficient with a planned total energy use of 25 kWh/m2/year. Space heating and hot water are provided by a ground source heat pump (GSHP) system consisting of five 40 kW off-the-shelf water-to-water heat pumps connected to 20 boreholes in hard rock, drilled to a depth of 200 m. Space cooling is provided by direct cooling from the boreholes. This paper uses measured performance data from Studenthuset to calculate the actual thermal performance of the GSHP system during one of its early years of operation. Monthly system coefficients-of-performance and coefficients-of-performance for both heating and cooling operation are presented. In the first months of operation, several problems were corrected, leading to improved performance. This paper provides long-term measured system performance data from a recently installed GSHP system, shows how the various system components affect the performance, presents an uncertainty analysis, and describes how some unanticipated consequences of the design may be ameliorated.

  • A Systematic Review of Recent Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) Systems Assisted by Solar Thermal, Photovoltaic and Photovoltaic/Thermal Sources
    A systematic review of recent air source heat pump (ASHP) systems assisted by solar thermal, photovoltaic and photovoltaic/thermal sources Xinru Wang a, Liang Xia a, *, Chris Bales b, Xingxing Zhang b, **, Benedetta Copertaro b, Song Pan c, Jinshun Wu d a Research Centre for Fluids and Thermal Engineering, University of Nottingham Ningbo China, China b Department of Energy and Built Environment, Dalarna University, Falun, Sweden c Engineering Research Centre of Digital Community, Beijing University of Technology, Beijing, China d College of Architecture & Civil Engineering, North China Institute of Science & Technology, Hebei, China Abstract: The air source heat pump (ASHP) systems assisted by solar energy have drawn great attentions, owing to their great feasibility in buildings for space heating/cooling and hot water purposes. However, there are a variety of configurations, parameters and performance criteria of solar assisted ASHP systems, leading to a major inconsistency that increase the degree of complexity to compare and implement different systems. A comparative literature review is lacking, with the aim to evaluate the performance of various ASHP systems from three main solar sources, such as solar thermal (ST), photovoltaic (PV) and hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T). This paper thus conducts a systematic review of the prevailing solar assisted ASHP systems, including their boundary conditions, system configurations, performance indicators, research methodologies and system performance. The comparison result indicates that PV-ASHP system has the best techno- economic performance, which performs best in average with coefficient of performance (COP) of around 3.75, but with moderate cost and payback time. While ST-ASHP and PV/T-ASHP systems have lower performance with mean COP of 2.90 and 3.03, respectively.
