Brambley(a) D. Hansen(b) P. Haves(c) D.R. Holmberg(d) S.C. McDonald(a) K.W.Roth(f) P. Torcellini(e) April 2005 Prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy under Contract DE-AC05-76RL01830 Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Richland, Washington 99352 (a) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (b) U.S. Department of Energy (c) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (d) National Institute of Science and Technology (e) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (f) TIAX, LLC PREFACE This document provides background material on a research and development planning effort in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Building Technologies. It is part of a larger set of material to be used in the ongoing planning process and does not, in itself, represent the decisions or policies of DOE. This document does not represent the current DOE research agenda, nor planned research, but instead is intended to provide a point of departure for discussion of potential research options. iii iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document provides a market assessment of existing building sensors and controls and presents a range of technology pathways (R&D options) for pursuing advanced sensors and building control strategies. This report is a synthesis of five white papers, each devoted to either the market assessment or the identification of R&D options to expand the market, and resultant energy savings, from advanced building controls and sensors. The ideas presented in these white papers were purposefully unconstrained by budget to attempt to capture the full range of potential options. As such, choosing and summarizing highlights from each of these papers, and in turn highlighting this in an Executive Summary, is quite challenging. Instead, what is contained in this Executive Summary is an overview of each chapter. Market Assessment The market assessment includes estimates of market potential and energy savings for sensors and control strategies currently on the market as well as a discussion of market barriers to these technologies. Contributors to this report believe that significant energy savings and increased comfort and control for occupants can be achieved with advanced technologies. An estimation of the potential market and energy savings from these advanced technologies is the subject of a follow-on market assessment by TIAX, which should be available in 2005. Technology Pathways The Technology Pathway is organized into four chapters: • Current Applications and Strategies for New Applications • Sensors and Controls • Networking, Security, and Protocols and Standards • Automated Diagnostics, Performance Monitoring, Commissioning, Optimal Control, and Tools. These chapters can roughly be characterized as follows: 1. Applications to building sub-systems (e.g., lighting) and potential new applications (e.g. disaster mitigation). 2. Sensor and controls hardware including wireless devices and actuators. 3. Issues relating to the internetworking of sensors, controls, and actuators and standards and protocols required for full interoperability. 4. Tools and applications for whole building system integration, monitoring, and controls. Each technology pathway chapter gives an overview of the technology or application. This is followed by a discussion of needs and the current status of the technology. Finally, a series of research topics is proposed. v vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This document is a compilation and synthesis of background material supporting the development of a research and development planning effort in advanced controls and sensors for buildings. The planning effort is led by David Hansen of the Building Technologies (BT) program within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) at the U.S. Department of Energy. Representatives from DOE national laboratories, including Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, as well as the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) in the U.S. Department of Commerce, all contributed to the Technology Pathway chapters (Chapters 3 through 6). The market analysis chapter (Chapter 2) was developed by TIAX, LLC. All contributors are listed in the appendix. We would also like to acknowledge Theresa Gilbride of PNNL for her sharp editing skills and Andrew Nicholls of PNNL for his technical review. vii viii ACRONYMS AND ABBREVIATIONS AFDD automatic fault detection and diagnostics AHU air handler unit ANSI American National Standards Institute APAR AHU Performance Assessment Rules ASHRAE American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers ASTM/ISO American Society for Testing and Materials BACnet/IP A Data Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks BAS building automation system BCS building control system BT DOE Building Technologies Program within EERE BT US DOE Building Technologies Program CABA Continental Automated Buildings Association CBECS Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey CCC California Commissioning Collaborative CCTV closed circuit television CEC California Energy Commission cfm cubic feet per minute CHP combined heat and power CO carbon monoxide CO2 carbon dioxide DALI digital addressable lighting interface DCV demand-controlled ventilation DDC direct digital control DDE dynamic data exchange DOD US Department of Defense DOE U.S. Department of Energy DR demand response system DSOM Decision Support for Operations and Maintenance software EERE US DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy EES Enron Energy Services EIS energy information systems EMCS energy management control system ix EMS energy management system ERP enterprise resource planning ESCO energy service company Eui ENERGY USE INTENSITY FCC Federal Communications Comission FDD fault detection and diagnostics FERC Federal Energy Regulatory Commission GEMnet GSA Energy and Maintenance Newtork GHz gigahertz GSA US General Services Administration GUI graphical user interface Hmi human machine interface HVAC heating, ventilation and air conditioning HVAC&R heating, ventilation and air conditioning and refrigeration IAQ indoor air quality IBECS integrated building environmental communications system ICM industrial, scientific, medial band ICP/IP Internet communication protocol/internet protocol IEA International Energy Agency IEC International Engineering Consortium IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers IEQ indoor environmental quality IFC Industry Foundation Classes IMDS Information Monitoring and Diagnostic System IP internet protocol IPMVP International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol ISO International Organization for Standardization ISO-NE Independent System Operator-New England IT information technology LAN local area network LBNL Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory LON Networking protocol for building devices MHz megahertz MPM market penetration model MSTP master-slave token passing x NILM nonintrusive load measurement NIST US Department of Commerce National Institute for Standards and Technology NPV net present value NREL National Renewable Energy Laboratory NYISP New York Independent System Operator OA outdoor air OLE object linking and embedding ORNL Oak Ridge National Laboratory OTE operational test and evaluation PECI Portland Energy Conservation, Inc.

Purpose. This article reveals the main definitions of synergetics and methods that are being used in synergetic research. The differences-characteristics of classical, nonclassical, and postnonclassical science and their schematic illustration are described. There are criteria, by which the main methodological principles of synergetics are being chosen. The reasons that have caused an appearance of synergetics and its methodological apparatus and the framework of this apparatus are considered. The special aspects of nonlinearity of complicated systems, in our opinion, include the economic ones. Methodology. Such foreign and domestic scientists as Wiener N. (2003), Thom R. (1975, 1996), Prigogine I., Stengers I. (1986), Zang V.B. (1999), and Arnold V. (2004) have used methodological apparatus of synergetics in modern science. Methodologically synergetics is open for those new conceptions that are being formed in certain disciplines. Methodological principles of synergetics that cause the “colostral” principles are nonlinearity, nonclosure, and instability. The main principle – the rule of nonlinearity is a contravention of the principle of the super offer in the certain phenomenon (process): the result of adding the impacts on the system is not the adding these impacts’ results. The causes’ results cannot be added. This means that the result of adding the causes does not equal to the union of causes’ results. Results. For the synergy concept, the idea is typical that we see everything at once: the whole and its parts.

    Energy Saving of Central Air-Conditioning and Control System Caseb Study: Nanchang Hongkelong Supermarket Thesis Yizhou He Degree Programme in Industrial Management Accepted ___.___._____ __________________________________ SAVONIA UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES, BUSINESS AND ENGINEERING, VARKAUS Degree Programme Industrial Engineering and Management Author He Yizhou Title of Project Energy saving of central air-conditioning and control system Case study: Nanchang Hongkelong Supermarket Type of Project Date Pages Final Project 13/10/2010 6 2+8 Academic Supervisor Company Supervisor Company Harri Heikura Zheng Jun HKLS Abstract In China, with the rapid development of economiy, the resources are consumed very seriously. Compared with the developed countries, China’s energy consumption for unit GDP production is more than 6 to 10 times and the energy consumption for unit product production is 50% higher than in the developed countries. Therefore, China is increasing emphasis on energy conservation and is also increasing the awareness of energy saving and environmental protection. In energy saving measures, the one that reduces energy consumption of the central air conditioning is very important. Because in industrial and commercial buildings, central air conditioning system is a very important part of infrastructure and it is widely used. It takes a large proportion in industrial production and the total daily energy consumption of buildings. In industry, central air-conditioning energy consumption accounts for over 40% of the total energy consumption. In this thesis, the problem and the cause of the problem were found according to the research of the specific practical problem of the traditional energy saving system. Based on the theory of intelligent building management system (IBMS) and energy-saving central air-conditioning inverter, a means of vector control can be adopted to achieve the integrated use of the technology and a solution to improve the Central Air Conditioner equipment and improve HVAC energy saving control system can be found.

    Intelligent Thermal Control Method for Small-Size Air Conditioning System Hung-Wen Lin1, Min-Der Wu1, Guan-Wen Chen1 and Ying Xuan Tan2 1Green Energy and Research Laboratories, Industrial Technology Research Institute, Hsinchu, Taiwan 2Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Keywords: HVAC, Least Enthalpy Difference Theory, Energy Saving. Abstract: To decrease the energy consumption and maintaining the comfort of the area, a great deal of work has been done on HVAC control algorithms. A control system with the least enthalpy difference theory applied is proposed in this paper. By using the indoor air temperature and relative humidity as the feedback of the control system, the temperature set for the air conditioner is able to satisfy the indoor thermal comfort. The simulation and experimental results of this controller have shown positive energy saving while maintaining indoor thermal comfort. 1 INTRODUCTION “Adaptive Algorithm” which requires an additional parameter which is the expected residence time of the Due to the significant increase of energy consumption occupants for each zone to be controlled (Dimitris, in buildings, energy saving strategies have become Evangelos, John and Odysseus, 2014).
