About the Instructor
McHenry Wallace Jr., PE, Member ASHRAE, LEED® AP, has been a mechanical contractor, consulting engineer and a registered engineer in Texas for over 30 years. Mack is heavily involved on the front lines of the energy conservation industry, having served for the past 18 years on the ASHRAE Standard 90.1 Committee. He was the engineer of record for many award-winning projects, including the Historic Preservation of the Texas State Capitol Building. Mack was director of design/build services for TXU Energy and responsible for developing and guaranteeing the energy savings on many projects. He has trained hundreds of engineers and architects, world-wide, on ASHRAE 90.1 and is the co-author of the new publication Significant Changes to International Energy Conservation Code and ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1. Currently, Mack splits his time between Jacobs Engineering Group and his own company, WiseWattLLP.

Learning Objectives
• Participants will learn of several updates to the Lighting and Building Envelope sections of the 2013 Standard.
• Participants will identify the HVAC portion of the more than 100 updated requirements from previous versions of the standard.
• Participants will practice techniques for achieving 30% or more energy savings from Std 90.1-2004 requirements.
• Participants will explore ways to improve system energy performance in buildings.

From National Geographic – Big Idea
…the importance of energy to modern life—it is rightly called the “master resource” that makes all other economic activity possible—Steven F. Hayward

US Building Energy
• In 2010, the US consumed 19% of global energy consumption
• US buildings:– Use 65% of the nation’s electricity
– Account for over 41% of total primary energy usage
– Space heating, space cooling and lighting use almost half of all energy by buildings
• Total building primary energy in 2009 was 48% higher than in 1980
• A 30% improvement in energy efficiency would generate net positive annual cash flow of $65 billion for buildings
– This would produce a cash flow 4 times better than the average yield for corporate bonds

90.1-2010 – Purpose & Scope
PurposeTo establish the minimum energy efficiency requirements of buildings, other than low-rise residential buildings, for:
1. Design, construction, and a plan for operation and maintenance, and
2. Utilization of on-site, renewable energy resources
ScopeThis standard provides:
a) minimum energy-efficient requirements for the design, construction and a plan for operation and maintenance of:
a) New buildings and their systems
b) New portions of buildings and their systems
c) New systems and equipment in existing buildings
d) New equipment or building systems specifically identified in the standard that are part of industrial or manufacturing processes
b) Criteria for determining compliance with these requirements.

How to Recognize Integrated Economizers – 6.5.1.3
Basic control sequence:• When the outdoor air condition is below the lock-out setpoint, upon
a call for cooling, the economizer outdoor air damper is modulated to maintain a supply air temperature of 53oF to 57oF.
If outdoor air alone cannot satisfy the cooling requirement:
• Integrated control sequence• The economizer outdoor air damper is maintained at 100% open and the
compressor is cycled as the second stage of cooling.
• Non-integrated control sequence• The compressor is energized. The economizer outdoor air damper position will
be determined by the resulting supply air temperature.

Do the New HVAC Systems & Equipment Have to Comply?
“4.1.1.5 Changes in Space Conditioning. Whenever unconditioned or semi-heated spaces in a building are converted to conditioned spaces, such conditioned spaces shall be brought into compliance with all applicable requirements of this standard that would apply to the building envelope, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, service water heating, power, lighting, and other systems and equipment of the space as if the building were new.”
Conclusion: New systems and equipment must comply.
73
145 © 2016 ASHRAE Learning Institute
Does the Existing HVAC SystemHave to be Upgraded?
“Compliance shall not be required for equipment that is being modified or repaired but not replaced, provided that such modifications and/or repairs will not result in an increase in the annual energy consumption of the equipment…” (6.1.1.3 Exception a)
Conclusion: Existing unit, including thermostat and other controls, need not be upgraded and may be repaired without invoking full compliance provided the repairs do not increase energy use.
146 © 2016 ASHRAE Learning Institute
Can the Existing System Be Used to Condition Newly Conditioned Space?
When HVAC or service water heating to an addition is provided by existing HVAC or service water heating systems and equipment:
–Such existing systems and equipment shall not be required to comply with this standard.
–However, any new systems or equipment installed must comply with specific requirements applicable to those systems and equipment. (6.1.1.3)
Conclusion: Existing system may be used to condition new space, but any new equipment must meet the Standard (for example, new duct must be insulated)

h. If a heat pump equipped with auxiliary internal electric resistance heaters is installed, controls shall be provided that prevent supplemental heater operation when the heating load can be met by the heat pump alone during both steady-state operation and setback recovery. Supplemental heater operation is permitted during outdoor coil defrost cycles. The heat pump must be controlled by either: (1) a digital or electronic thermostat designed for heat-pump use that energizes auxiliary heat only when the heat pump has insufficient capacity to maintain setpoint or to warm up the space at a sufficient rate; or (2) a multi-stage space thermostat and an outdoor air thermostat wired to energize auxiliary heat only on the last stage of the space thermostat and when outdoor air temperature is less than 40oF.
i. The system controls shall not permit reheat or any other form of simultaneous heating and cooling for humidity control.

j. Systems serving spaces other than hotel/motel guest rooms, and other than those requiring continuous operation, which have both a cooling or heating capacity greater than 15,000 Btu/h and a supply fan motor power greater than 0.75 hp, shall be provided with a time clock that: (1) can start and stop the system under different schedules for seven different day types per week; (2) is capable of retaining programming and time setting during a loss of power for a period of at least ten hours; (3) includes an accessible manual override that allows temporary operation of the system for up to two hours; (4) is capable of temperature setback down to 55oF during off hours; and (5) is capable of temperature setup to 90oF during off hours.

Simplified Approach 6.3.2Duct & Piping Construction
k. Except for piping within manufacturers’ units, HVAC piping shall be insulated in accordance with Tables 6.8.3-1 and 6.8.3-2. Insulation exposed to weather shall be suitable for outdoor service, e.g., protected by aluminum, sheet metal, painted canvas, or plastic cover. Cellular foam insulation shall be protected as above or painted with a coating that is water retardant and provides shielding from solar radiation.
l. Ductwork and plenums shall be insulated in accordance with Tables 6.8.2-1 and 6.8.2-2 and shall be sealed in accordance with Section 6.4.4.2.1.
m. Construction documents shall require a ducted system to be air balanced in accordance with industry accepted procedures.
n. Outdoor air intake and exhaust systems shall meet the requirements of Section 6.4.3.4.

o. Where separate heating and cooling equipment serves the same temperature zone, thermostats shall be interlocked to prevent simultaneous heating and cooling.
p. Systems with a design supply air capacity greater than 10,000 cfm shall have optimum start controls.
q. The system shall comply with the demand control ventilation requirements in Section 6.4.3.8.
r. The system complies with the door switch requirements in Section 6.5.10.
