What is Building Systems Optimization?

Finding an alternative with the most

cost effective or
highest achievable performance
under the given constraints,
by maximizing desired factors
and minimizing undesired factors.

2
Why optimize building systems?

 Reduce energy
consumption and related
costs

 Increase occupant comfort

 Extend equipment life

 Reduce other operational

costs

6
What do you need to truly optimize building systems?

 A robust Building Automation System

with these features:
 Capacity/Capability to set up and store
multiple trends for >2 weeks
 Full DDC controls, including central
plant AHUs and boxes
plant,
 Graphical display of systems/data
 Ability to integrate multiple
systems/system types
(e.g. lighting, security)
 Proper maintenance of equipment
and BAS
 Highly experienced/skilled BAS
technicians to run the process

Discussions About Controls Upgrades

 Pneumatics – What makes sense to upgrade

 Legacy DDC Systems – When to re-use and
when to replace
 Modem DDC Systems – What benefits make
upgrades worth their cost

10
Pneumatics

Suggested for Re-use

 Valve actuators (as long as valve seat is functional)
 Damper actuators (as long as diaphragm does not leak)

Suggested for Upgrade

 Thermostats / Sensors / Transmitters
 Controllers
 Anything that needs continual calibration

11
Legacy DDC (1980s – 1990s)

Suggested for Re-use

 All end
dddevices
i – actuators,
t t sensors, relays
l
 Unitary controllers – VAV, RTU, AHU controllers

Suggested
gg for Upgrade

 Supervisory controllers
 Front

 Discontinued field controllers

12
Modern DDC (2000 and Up)

Suggested for Re-use

 Compatible

 User interfaces (access PCs)

 Incompatible field controllers
 Supervisory

13
Reasons for Upgrading

 Energy payback – Reliable and steady control

 Reduce
R d capital
it l expenditures
dit – Less
L cycling
li off equipment
i t
 Customer comfort – More productive employees
 Ease of use – Remote access, graphical commanding,
“drag & drop” operation
 Dashboard views and diagnostics – Enterprise views and
diagnostics to predict failures BEFORE they happen
 IT compliance – BAS uses same technology as IT
departments

14
DDC Adaptive Tuning

Adaptive tuning and state-based control strategies are used in modern

DDC field controllers.
This functionality keeps environmental conditions in line with
expectations, while using the minimum amount of mechanical effort and
energy
gy to achieve desired results.

Business Approach / Lifecycle Management

Two primary business drivers are behind any systems

integration/migration strategy:

Asset protection For existing Systems

That provides migration

Technology expansion paths to the newest
technologies

Platform Integration – Houston Example

Methodist Willowbrook Hospital Expansion:

 Completed in 2010
 1M square foot addition to 12 year
old existing Hospital Campus
 Legacy Siemens BAS – 12 year old
technology
 Metasys chosen as new BAS platform
within expansion:
 All BACnet Open Protocol
 Integrates Legacy Siemens BAS – Retains existing investment of over 17,000 points
 Same user experience while looking at new or legacy controls
