[Bldg-sim] Apendix G3.1.2.9

[Fareed Syed]

Hi Greg,

 

My basic question is which cfm do I take to calculate Pfan? Just the
supply to come up with kW/cfm or sum of supply, return, relief, and
exhaust fans?

 

Thanks,

Hi Kim,

 

I'm fairly certain that there's no specific guidance in Appendix G.
What most people do is break it up so that it's proportional to the
proposed case.  For example if the baseline fan power is 34.5 kW and the
actual parameters call for 20 kW supply and 10 kW return you would break
the baseline case up into 23 kW supply and 11.5 kW return.  I hope that
helps.

Gregg,

 

Is there guidance on what portion of the Pfan goes to each? What
percentage goes to supply, what percentage to return, etc?

No, you use only the fan supply cfm to calculate the total fan power,
then cut that fan power up into supply, return, etc.

Hello All,

 

I am trying to understand the stated appendix for the baseline model. 

 

When I am calculating the Pfan for a system, do I need add up supply,
return, system and room exhaust cfm's? 

 

I got this comment from GBCI: "Revise the sum of the supply, return,
exhaust, and relief fans for each HVAC system to be equal to the volume
calculated in G3.1.2.8 and power calculated in G3.1.2.9 (where CFM
refers to supply air volume)." 

 

 

Please let me know your input on how to calculate Pfan.

 

 

Thanks,
