Project Summary
Sunovion, a research-based pharmaceutical company dedicated to treating and preventing human disease needed to expand the HVAC System capabilities in their facilities while reducing energy usage and costs. Through the Mass Save program, they were able To expand their current Energy Efficient Mechanical Systems and Controls:
- Expanded EMS System’s capabilities to reduce electrical energy consumption year-round.
- Added software algorithm to the EMS program to evaluate area temperatures and monitor the level of electric reheat energy used.
- During the cooling season, the algorithm resets the air handler’s supply temperature to minimize over cooling and duty cycles the electric reheat terminal units in zones where reheat is necessary.
- During the heating season, the supply temperature is also reset, maximizing the use of gas-fired pre-heating units while the electric reheat terminal units are also duty cycled.
- Range limits are defined for the supply air reset and duty cycling in order to maintain occupant comfort.
Solution
Installed expansion of the Energy Management System to control temperatures while maintaining occupant comfort.
