[Equest-users] CO sensors in parking structures

[Nathan Miller]

That is basically how I got credit with the USGBC for CO controlled
parking fans. I provided some back-up studies that showed how rarely fans
have to ramp up in a parking garage. When cars arrive, they are running
hot and are barely emitting CO, so for an office building parking garage
there might not even be much of a morning uptick.

Hi Greg,

When I did it way back, I created a schedule to reflect the reduction. My
thinking was along these lines: the baseline schedule would reflect the
occupancy schedule, ie the normal coming and going of people in the
building; the proposed schedule would have a high % when people arrived,
go to a min level for awhile, have another high % at lunch, go to another
min lovel for awhile and then another high % when they left. This all
depends on what your building type/usage is, of course, and requires sound
engineering judgment to do a good job. Document all assumptions, like cars
emit CO when they are running not when they are parked, and when the
reviewer asks why say "because I said so". Oh sorry, don't say that, just
provide your assumptions.

If you need further assistance, let me know.

Good night,

Hello Everyone,

 

Is there a way in eQuest to model ventilation fans with CO sensors in
parking structures?  

 

Thank you in advance for your help,

Greg
