publications roundup
Small to Medium Buildings:
Achieving Zero Energy
The newly released Advanced
Energy Design Guide for Small to
Medium Office Buildings: Achieving
Zero Energy demonstrates to
contractors and designers that
zero energy office buildings are
attainable.
“This guide provides a pathway
to zero energy and presents
design teams with strategies for
achieving energy savings goals
that are financially feasible,
operationally workable and readily
achievable,” says Paul Torcellini,
project committee chair. “As we
drive toward the crucial goal of
reducing energy consumption
and ensuring that zero energy
buildings become the standard
design and construction approach,
publications such as this will
become increasingly important.”
This guide focuses on the design
and construction of buildings that
are ready to accept renewable
energy systems to meet low
energy loads. It offers user-friendly
directions for the construction of
new, low energy small to medium
office buildings and also applies
to retrofits of existing buildings,
depending on the depth and
breadth of the retrofit. Strategies
for reaching zero, including energy
efficient targets and how-to
recommendations can also be
found throughout the guide.
Advancing DCIM with IT

Q&A: What’s New in Design
Guide for Cool Thermal Storage
Cool thermal storage has changed
significantly since 1993, when the
first edition of the ASHRAE Design
Guide for Cool Thermal Storage was
published.
An updated ASHRAE Design Guide
for Cool Thermal Storage includes
new sections on mission-critical
and emergency cooling, utility
tariffs and building energy
modeling estimates to help design
engineers create energy-efficient
and energy-saving thermal storage
solutions.
The guide focuses on ice and
chilled-water systems and is
a comprehensive, first-level
reference that discusses thermal
energy storage fundamentals,
compares thermal energy storage
technologies and describes an
applications-focused procedure
for designing cool thermal energy
storage systems.
The author of the guide, Jason
Glazer, P.E., Member ASHRAE,
BEMP, who is chair of the energy
cost budget subcommittee for
Standard 90.1, Energy Standard
for Buildings Except Low-Rise
Residential Buildings, discusses the
update and its significance.
1. What is the significance of
this topic?
Cool thermal energy storage is a
powerful approach to reducing the
peak demand of a building on the
electric utility grid.
The Design Guide for Cool Thermal
Storage provides a detailed
description of how these systems
work and how the economics
of using them can be evaluated.
Cooling demand contributes to
a sizable portion of the summer
electricity demand in many areas of
the world.
Unlike other building electric
uses, cooling incurs a peak
demand for only a few days or
weeks each year. Electric utilities
have recognized the ability of
cool thermal energy storage to
favorably shape electric loads as
part of a portfolio of demand-
response options. Some utilities
offer incentive programs and
special rate structures that
encourage cool thermal energy
storage usage.
2. Why is it important to explore
this topic now?
The landscape in the electric
industry has gotten even more
complex with deregulation
and prevalence of intermittent
renewable energy sources of
wind and solar, yet ways to avoid
adding generation and distribution
capacity are as important as ever.
Due to this, utilities offer a variety
of financial incentives, including
demand-response programs
to reduce building electrical
demand, and cool thermal energy
storage is a great approach to take
advantage of the incentives. In
addition, special applications, such
5
as providing emergency cooling
for mission-critical facilities, are
growing in importance.
3. What lessons, facts and/
or guidance can an engineer
working in the field take away
from this topic?
The guide includes a variety
of information to help owners
and engineers learn about and
evaluate cool thermal storage
options. The Guide compares
different thermal storage
technologies, including chilled
water and ice storage options, as
well as several special applications
of cool thermal energy storage
technologies.
It also describes the various
phases of the design process
that involve cool thermal energy
storage, including initial steps such
as the development of an owner’s
project requirements, the design
procedure for cool thermal energy
storage, construction, verification
and testing of storage systems and
building operation.

Historical Minute
The “Refrigerating Egg”
“A novelty of the season is
the so called ‘refrigerating
egg,’ which is simply an ovoid
capsule made of copper,
nickel plated, about the size
and shape of a hen’s egg. It
is made in two parts, and
is hollow, the parts being
so perfectly joined as to be
absolutely water tight and
invisible when closed. For use
it is nearly filled with water and
frozen, and in this condition
dropped into beverages which
it is designed to cool. Many
people, it is asserted, are
disinclined to place ice in their
drinks, as the ice may contain
germs; to avoid these they
use the metal egg, the germs
adhering to its outer surface
being as yet unknown.”

New ASHRAE Handbook Handbook Expands on GSHP Tech Info

Is Largest One Yet

The 2019 ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Applications is a
record breaker. Clocking in at 1,408 pages for both the
I-P and SI versions, this year’s Handbook is 20% larger
than the 2015 ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC
Applications.
The usual growth rate for Handbooks
is 3%-5% compared to the previous
edition. This year’s Handbook’s 20%
growth can be attributed to revised and
significantly expanded chapters as well
as three new chapters on occupant-
centric controls, indoor airflow
modeling and indoor swimming pools.
ASHRAE members can access the
Handbook through the Technology
Portal using their ASHRAE member login information.
Sample some of the new material in this year's
Handbook:
New Natatorium Chapter
In response to industry demand and the growing
number of natatoriums, the 2019 ASHRAE Handbook—
HVAC Applications will include a new chapter dedicated
to natatorium design.
New users will be able to more easily find the
information they are looking for in Chapter 34,
Geothermal Energy, in the 2019 ASHRAE Handbook—
HVAC Applications. The chapter was rearranged to
put the ground-source heat pump content before the
direct use material, which was done based on how the
material is being used in the field, said
Harrison Skye, Ph.D., Associate Member
ASHRAE, who was the Handbook
co-subcommittee chair for TC 6.8,
Geothermal Heat Pump and Energy
Recovery Applications.
Data Centers, Telecommunications
Facilities Chapter Sees Another Round
of Extensive Updates
Data center technologies change
so rapidly that extensive updates are
needed on the four-year Handbook cycle. The “Data
Centers and Telecommunications Facilities” chapter
in the 2015 ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Applications
was totally rewritten to correspond with the Datacom
Series from TC 9.9, Mission Critical Facilities, Data
Centers, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment.
The 2019 update to the Handbook continues to follow
that format.

developed a publication titled
Residential IAQ Guide: Best Practices
for Acquisition, Design, Construction,
Maintenance and Operation, now
available in the ASHRAE bookstore.
The guide fills a need for a
comprehensive ASHRAE document
that provides information and
tools to homeowners, designers,
construction and maintenance
tradespeople and builders to
integrate IAQ into dwellings while
addressing budget constraints and
other functional requirements.
This guide is intended to help
move beyond current practices to
provide good IAQ in dwellings and
enhance and integrate good IAQ
using proven strategies without
significant expense.

Water hammer or hydraulic shock
is an issue that has caused pressure
surges, noise, and even pipe
ruptures in industrial ammonia
refrigeration systems.
An ASHRAE research project
developed a 3-D CFD model
with the ability to predict the
occurrence of a hydraulic shock
for a given condition. In particular,
slug formation, slug propagation,
shock formation with correct
amplitudes and time of formation
can be predicted for a given liquid
depth, hot vapor flow rate, initial

The results show a remarkable
match to experimental results.
The final report illustrates the first
time such a complex problem has
been successfully simulated using
a 3-D compressible multiphase
CFD model, demonstrating the
utility of such a tool to increase
the operational safety of industrial
refrigeration systems.
A technical paper has been
submitted for future publication in
