Executive Summary
9 of 10 Air-Handling Units (AHUs), in the Riggs Alumni Center of College Park,
MD, pass the ASHRAE Standard 62-2001 Addendum n requirements. The results show
that the minimum levels of outdoor air entering the AHUs are reduced for all but AHU-2.
For AHU-2, the new outdoor air requirement is less than a 3% increase over the current
unit’s minimum. However as a whole the building reduces its outdoor air requirements
by over 13%.
AHUs 1-4, serving the administration half of the building, utilize an under-floor,
low-velocity air distribution system. This system sets the ventilation effectiveness, Ez,
equal to 1.2 and lowers the minimum outdoor air levels. AHU’s 5-8, serving the Alumni
Hall and main entrance, use a ceiling supply of cool air: Ez = 1.0. AHU’s 9&10, serving
the Hall of Fame & Maryland Room, are designed with supply diffusers on the opposite
side of the room from the return registers. This reduces the effectiveness to Ez = 0.8,
increasing the minimum outdoor air levels.
The results show that even though a greater Ez means less outdoor air required the
system does not always reduce its outdoor air when compared to the former version of
Standard 62. For this case the increase is due to either the new method of finding a
critical space and its affects on the system or just a difference in defining zone areas and
occupancies. Applying Addendum n to a building generally will reduce the outdoor air
requirements and will ultimately save energy and reduce first cost.

Analysis
AHU-1 serves the West end of the administration half of the building, referred to as the
Admin Building. The variable air volume (VAV) unit distributes air by means of an
under-floor plenum, low-velocity displacement system with a ceiling return plenum.
This system lets us assume a ventilation effectiveness, Ez, equal to 1.2. The air terminal
units (ATUs) also are VAV units. Some of the ATU’s along the perimeter are also
ducted to several reheat boxes in the under-floor air plenum. The system distributes air
to mainly offices and a few conference rooms. Zone 21, the critical space for this unit, is
shown in APPENDIX A and detailed in APPENDIX D. This zone was chosen as one of
the sample calculations. The zone is critical because it both has a high occupancy density
9
and a small minimum air supply, resulting in a primary outdoor air factor, Zp, of 0.49.
This sets the system’s ventilation efficiency, Ev, to 0.6. APPENDIX B shows that there
is a 100% increase between the sum of zone outdoor air requirements, ΣVoz, and the
corresponding total outdoor air, Vot. Having such a high Zp creates the drastic increase
in outdoor air required. The end results of the report are displayed on APPENDIX C.
This compares the original design of the system to the outdoor air requirements of
ASHRAE Standard 62-2001, Addendum n. The original system specified 2560 cfm as
their minimum outdoor air, ASHRAE found the minimum to be 2259 cfm, or 2.7% less
outdoor air. The system is compliant with the new code.
AHU-2 serves the MidWest part of the Admin Building. AHU-2’s system has the same
properties as AHU-1’s system. Zone 19, the critical space for this unit, is shown in
APPENDIX A and detailed in APPENDIX D. The zone is critical because it both has a
large area and a small minimum air supply, resulting in a primary outdoor air factor, Zp,
of 0.55. This sets the Ev = 0.6. APPENDIX B shows that there is again a 100% increase
between the ΣVoz and the Vot. The end results of APPENDIX C show that the original
system specified 1080 cfm as their minimum outdoor air, ASHRAE found the minimum
to be 1211 cfm, or 2.4% more outdoor air. The system is not compliant with the new
code. This failure to meet the code could result from either the new method of finding a
critical space and its affects on the system or just a difference in defining zone areas and
occupancies.
AHU-3 serves the MidEast part of the Admin Building. AHU-3’s system has the same
properties as AHU-1&2’s systems. Zone 27, an employee’s lounge, met the short-term
conditions specified under ASHRAE 6.2.5.2, cutting its expected maximum occupancy in
10
half for the calculations. An example of these calculations is shown in the sample
calculations. Zone 10, the critical space for this unit, is shown in APPENDIX A and
detailed in APPENDIX D. The zone is critical because it has a larger area, multiple
office occupants, and a small minimum air supply with Zp = 0.29 and Ev = 0.8.
APPENDIX B shows that there is only 50% increase between the ΣVoz and the Vot. This
tells us that although zone 10 is critical it is not that far from the average Zp.
APPENDIX C shows that the original system specified 2140 cfm as their minimum
outdoor air, ASHRAE found the minimum to be 1754 cfm, or 3.4% less outdoor air. The
system is compliant with the new code.
AHU-4 serves the East end of the Admin Building. AHU-4’s system has the same
properties as AHU-1,2,&3’s systems. Zone 4, the critical space for this unit, is shown in
APPENDIX A and detailed in APPENDIX D. The zone is critical because it has a larger
area with only a small minimum air supply with Zp = 0.43 and Ev = 0.7. APPENDIX B
shows that there is a 71% increase between the ΣVoz and the Vot. APPENDIX C shows
that the original system specified 3060 cfm as their minimum outdoor air, ASHRAE
found the minimum to be 1729 cfm, or 14.7% less outdoor air. The system is compliant
with the new code.
AHU-5 serves the North end of the Alumni Hall half of the building, referred to as the
Alumni Hall. The variable air volume (VAV) unit distributes air by means of overhead
diffusers. This system lets us assume a ventilation effectiveness, Ez, equal to 1.0. The
system distributes air mainly to a third of the Alumni Hall and also to the catering pantry
and service corridor. There is only one zone, so it is the critical space for this unit, shown
in APPENDIX A and detailed in APPENDIX D with Zp = 0.36 and Ev = 0.7. The zone
11
also met the short-term conditions specified under ASHRAE 6.2.5.2, cutting its expected
maximum occupancy in half for the calculations. This is shown as one of the sample
calculations. APPENDIX B shows that there is a 43% increase between the sum of zone
outdoor air requirements, ΣVoz, and the corresponding total outdoor air, Vot.
APPENDIX C compares the original design of 2250 cfm minimum outdoor air, to the
ASHRAE minimum of 1317 cfm, or 18% less outdoor air. The system is compliant with
the new code.
AHU-6 serves the middle of the Alumni Hall. AHU-6’s system has the same properties
as AHU-5’s system. The system distributes air to a third of the Alumni Hall. There is
only one zone, so it is the critical space for this unit, shown in APPENDIX A and
detailed in APPENDIX D with Zp = 0.33 and Ev = 0.8. The zone also met the short-term
conditions specified under ASHRAE 6.2.5.2. APPENDIX B shows that there is a 25%
increase between the ΣVoz and the Vot. APPENDIX C compares the original design of
2250 cfm minimum outdoor air, to the ASHRAE minimum of 1044 cfm, or 26% less
outdoor air. The system is compliant with the new code. This is also a significant drop
in the outdoor air requirements that would save both on first cost and energy consumption
if this standard had been applied to the system. The same can be said for similar
reductions like in AHU’s 4 &5.
AHU-7 serves the South End of the Alumni Hall. AHU-7’s system has the same
properties as AHU-5&6’s systems. The system distributes air to a third of the Alumni
Hall. There is only one zone, so it is the critical space for this unit, shown in APPENDIX
A and detailed in APPENDIX D with Zp = 0.34 and Ev = 0.8. The zone also met the
short-term conditions specified under ASHRAE 6.2.5.2. APPENDIX B shows that there
12
is a 25% increase between the ΣVoz and the Vot. APPENDIX C compares the original
design of 2250 cfm minimum outdoor air, to the ASHRAE minimum of 1071 cfm, or
25% less outdoor air. The system is compliant with the new code. This is unit is really
almost identical to AHU-6.
AHU-8 serves the main entrance lobby, connecting the Alumni Hall to the Admin
Building. The constant volume(CV), 100% outdoor air unit distributes air by means of
overhead diffusers. This system lets us assume an Ez = 1.0. There critical zone is Zone
2, shown in APPENDIX A and detailed in APPENDIX D with Zp = 0.12 and Ev = 0.9.
This zone was also a sample calculation for 100% outdoor air systems. APPENDIX B
shows that there is a 0% change between the ΣVoz, and the Vot, resulting from the
incredibly low Zp. APPENDIX C compares the original design of 1810 cfm minimum
outdoor air, to the ASHRAE minimum of 174 cfm, or 90% less outdoor air. The system
is compliant with the new code. This unit has the potential to save a lot of energy if it
would no longer be a 100% outdoor air unit.
AHU-9 serves the Hall of Fame, a lounge area. The variable air volume (VAV) unit
distributes air by means of overhead diffusers placed at the opposite side of the room
form the return registers. This system lets us assume Ez = 0.8. There is only one zone,
so it is the critical space for this unit, shown in APPENDIX A and detailed in
APPENDIX D with Zp = 0.32 and Ev = 0.8. APPENDIX B shows that there is again a
0% change between the ΣVoz and the Vot. APPENDIX C compares the original design
of 750 cfm minimum outdoor air, to the ASHRAE minimum of 240 cfm, or 14% less
outdoor air. The system is compliant with the new code.
13
AHU-10 serves the Maryland Room, a bar or cocktail lounge. The variable air volume
(VAV) unit distributes air by means of overhead diffusers placed opposite of a return
register. This system lets us assume a ventilation effectiveness, Ez, equal to 0.8. There is
only one zone, so it is the critical space for this unit, shown in APPENDIX A and
detailed in APPENDIX D with Zp = 0.47 and Ev = 0.6. APPENDIX B shows that there
is a 32% increase between the ΣVoz, and the Vot. APPENDIX C compares the original
design of 1235 cfm minimum outdoor air, to the ASHRAE minimum of 774 cfm, or 27%
less outdoor air. The system is compliant with the new code.
TOTAL BUILDING
APPENDIX B shows that there is a 54% increase between the sum of the AHUs’ ΣVoz’s,
and the Vot’s. This means that there is a large amount of outdoor air being unnecessarily
drawn into the building. However when you compare the results to the original design
there is a reduction of total outdoor air required anyway. APPENDIX C compares the
sum of the original minimum design of 19385 cfm , to the sum of the ASHRAE
minimums 11573 cfm, or 13.3% less outdoor air. The building would be overall
compliant with the new code. However as previously mentioned AHU-2 does not meet
the standard. I believe that in practice this would not be too much of a concern since it is
so close to being acceptable and since the unit actually shares plenum space with the
AHU’s 1,3,&4 which all were at or below the original design.

Discussion
The Ventilation Rate Procedure (VRP) and the Indoor Air Quality Procedure
(IAQP) both are ASHRAE Standard 62 methods of eliminating building contaminants by
ventilation. The VRP identifies people and area as separate contaminant sources
categorized by the space type of their zone. Each contaminant has a set limit. For each
part, people and area, a corresponding design parameter is assigned. These parameters
are added to provide an adequate diffusion the contaminants.
The IAQP identifies all contaminant sources individually and gives them a concentration
and generation rate. It allows the designer to choose which contaminants are limited and
at what level they are limited. Verses in the VRP, limited contaminants and those limits
are predetermined. The IAQP also has a more thorough verification method, generally
involving previous designs or continuous monitoring. In contrast, once the VRP has been
designed it operates in compliance so long as adequate commissioning was done.
Another option is the combination of these two procedures. Sometimes a designer will
choose to design a system with VRP to get acceptable ventilation and then apply the
IAQP to further limit a particular contaminant. The industry tends to lean towards the
VRP method because of its relative simplicity and the less extensive commissioning
process.
