1.0 Introduction
Stantec has been requested to provide a Cooling and HVAC System Options Report (Report)
for the SABIC Riyadh Compound Project.
The Report reviews various feasible cooling and HVAC system options serving the residential
and non-residential components of Phase 1 and Phase 2, discusses their respective
advantages and disadvantages, makes CAPEX and OPEX comparisons and also provides
preliminary estimates on the cooling load and cooling tower make-up water, and makes
recommendations with supporting documentation included in the appendices.
The Report was submitted as a DRAFT Report for information purposes on September 3,
2012.
The FINAL Report is being submitted as part of the Building Services Concept Design for
review, comment and SABIC approval of the cooling and HVAC system recommendations and
which will form the design basis for the cooling and HVAC system and further specific and
detailed reviews.
(The criticality and operational prioritization of the building types / critical buildings will be
discussed and agreed with SABIC separately. At present, Stantec understands that
emergency cooling provisions could be provided for at a maximum of 24 hours continuous
operation to critical buildings.)

2.0 Discussion
2.1 Cooling and HVAC System Options
Stantec has reviewed the following cooling and HVAC system options:
OPTION 1: Residential and Non-Residential – Water Cooled Chillers
OPTION 2: Residential and Non-Residential – DX
OPTION 3: Residential – Water Cooled Chillers
Non-Residential – DX
OPTION 4: Residential – DX
Non-Residential – Water Cooled Chillers
OPTION 5: Residential – DX
Non-Residential – DX
Schools – Air Cooled Chillers
XXX: Residential and Non-Residential – Air Cooled Chillers – Not Reviewed
XXX: Residential and Non-Residential – District Cooling – Not Available
Stantec has not reviewed air cooled chillers to provide cooling to the entire site as the space
requirements to implement the same would significantly reduce the usable site and also
impact masterplanning, and Stantec has not reviewed District Cooling as we understand that
existing chilled water provisions are not available at the site.
Please refer Appendix A for sketches indicating the residential and non-residential
components to Phase 1 and Phase 2, and sketches indicating the cooling and HVAC system
options.

2.1.1 OPTION 1
OPTION 1 considers water cooled chillers to provide cooling to the residential and non-
residential components of Phase 1 and Phase 2. (Centralized.)
Water Cooled Chillers
Approximately 23,300 TR will be required in total to provide air conditioning to Phase 1 and
Phase 2, respectively.
Phase 1: 12,600 TR
Phase 2: 10,700 TR
The cooling system could either comprise independent / hydraulically decoupled chilled
water systems or a common chilled water system as necessary to facilitate construction
staging of Phase 1 and Phase 2. As such, the cooling system could be located to 2 x 75m x
35m independent Chiller Plantrooms or to a common 75m x 70m Chiller Plantroom with
cooling towers located to the roof level(s) of the Chiller Plantroom(s).
Chilled water will be provided by 10 x 2,500 TR centrifugal chillers, 10 x 3,125 THR cooling
towers, a 4,100 m3/day cooling tower make-up water storage tank, and chilled water will be
reticulated to the site via an n+1 primary-secondary hydraulically decoupled pumping
arrangement via a 1000mm diameter chilled water ring main at (say) 4.5 ºC and returned at
(say) 13.5 ºC. Heat exchangers and tertiary pumps will be provided as required to protect
the cooling system.
Emergency chilled water provisions could be provided to prioritized building types / critical
buildings for (say) 24 hours continuous operation. This will require a cooling tower make-up
water storage tank, and electrical generator and diesel fuel provisions.
Key advantages and disadvantages associated with OPTION 1 are highest CAPEX and high
OPEX / high owning expenditure. It also has the highest space requirements which reduces
usable site which consequently impacts masterplanning.
Considering the aforementioned and the low availability of potable water on site for the cooling
tower make-up water, OPTION 1 is excluded as a feasible cooling and HVAC system option
recommendation.

The SABIC Scope of Work – Concept, Feed and Detail Design Scope dated 1 August 2012
Clause 5.4 HVAC reads as follows:
“Architect / Engineer shall consider using packaged HVAC systems for the buildings. Split
units may be considered for small residential loads.”
OPTION 2 considers direct expansion (DX) to provide cooling to the residential and non-
residential components of Phase 1 and Phase 2. (De-centralized.)
DX Approximately 23,300 TR will be required in total to provide air conditioning to Phase 1 and
Phase 2.
Phase 1: 12,600 TR
Phase 2: 10,700 TR
VRV / split air conditioning systems will provide air conditioning to the Villas of Phase 1 and
Phase 2, and roof top packaged units (packaged units) and VRV / split air conditioning
systems will provide air conditioning to the Apartments and non-residential components of
Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Emergency cooling provisions could be provided to prioritized building types / critical
buildings. This will require electrical generator and diesel fuel provisions.
Key advantages and disadvantages associated with OPTION 2 are lowest CAPEX and low
OPEX / lowest owning expenditure. It also has low space requirements which increases
usable site.
Sabic Riyadh Compound Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Page 6
Considering the aforementioned, OPTION 2 is considered as a feasible cooling and HVAC
system option.
The advantages and disadvantages associated with OPTION 2 are outlined in Appendix B
and the CAPEX and OPEX comparisons are outlined in Appendix C.
Refer appendices for additional supporting documentation.
2.1.3 OPTION 3
OPTION 3 considers water cooled chillers to provide cooling to the residential components
of Phase 1 and Phase 2, and also considers DX to provide cooling to the non-residential
components of Phase 1 and Phase 2. (Centralized and de-centralized, respectively.)
Water Cooled Chillers Approximately 20,900 TR will be required in total to provide air conditioning to Phase 1 and

dropper at (say) 6.0 ºC and returned at (say) 12.0 ºC.
Emergency cooling provisions could be provided to prioritized schools or components
thereof. This will require electrical generator and diesel fuel provisions.
Key advantages and disadvantages associated with OPTION 5 are low CAPEX and medium
OPEX / medium owning expenditure. It also has the lowest space requirements which
increases usable site as the air cooled chillers serving the schools are located to above roof
level.
Considering the aforementioned, OPTION 5 is considered as a cooling and HVAC system
option recommendation.
The advantages and disadvantages associated with OPTION 5 are outlined in Appendix B
and the CAPEX and OPEX comparisons are outlined in Appendix C.
Refer appendices for additional supporting documentation.

3.0 Recommendation
In the discussion above, Stantec has reviewed OPTIONS 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and based on the
same, OPTIONS 2, 3 and 5 are considered as feasible cooling and HVAC system options.
OPTION 2 provides the lowest CAPEX and low OPEX and hence, is the reference for final
review of the feasible cooling and HVAC system options.
OPTIONS 1 and 4 have been excluded owing to CAPEX and OPEX considerations.
3.1.1 Comparing OPTION 2 and OPTION 3
A distinct advantage of delivering chilled water to the villas is that the typical noise
associated with condensing units is removed from the villa common spaces, and relocated to
a central location where noise is not a concern.
The higher OPEX associated with OPTION 3 can be absorbed by higher utility charges to
the tenant, essentially negating the increase in costs.
A concern with the centralized approach for chilled water is that the chilled water ring main /
distribution loop provides a single point of failure for the cooling to all villas. In the
conventional DX system, one failure equates to one villa being without air conditioning. In
the chilled water approach, one failure equates to all villas being without air conditioning. In
the peak of Summer when the temperature is at approximately 46 degrees, a failure of the
cooling system would be well noticed by all occupants. Furthermore, maintenance to any
part of the chilled water ring main may require that all villas be without cooling for a period.
Also, the low availability of potable water on site for the cooling tower make-up water
associated with OPTION 3 is a negative consideration.
Stantec considers the lack of resilience / reliability associated with OPTION 3 a negative
consideration / makes OPTION 3 less attractive.
Sabic Riyadh Compound Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

3.1.2 Comparing OPTION 2 and OPTION 5
In our experience, the ventilation standard of ASHRAE 62-2007, requires a significant
percentage of outside air to be provided to the school / classroom spaces. The large
percentage of outside air, when considered with extreme ambient / weather conditions of
Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, may limit the effectiveness of conventional DX equipment
to perform the required cooling. Although our review considers conventional DX equipment,
the actual layout of the classroom spaces may require more significant control strategies to
manage the extreme weather conditions or part load conditions.
Alternatively, a chilled water system for a school could be readily adapted to both partial load
conditions and extreme weather conditions, assuming that the fresh air system is pre-
conditioned prior to mixing with the return air.
Although the chilled water system for the schools may require additional CAPEX and
increased costs in the yearly maintenance / OPEX, Stantec is confident that OPTION 5
would provide the appropriate comfort conditions to the schools under all weather conditions
throughout the year.
3.1.3 Cooling and HVAC System Recommendation
With regard to the comparisons between OPTION 2 and OPTION 3 and OPTION 2 and
OPTION 5, Stantec recommends OPTION 5.
OPTION 5 provides for resilience / reliability to all villas and the non-residential components
of Phase 1 and Phase 2, and also provides confidence that the appropriate comfort
conditions would be provided to the schools under all weather conditions throughout the
year.
If the additional OPEX associated with OPTION 5 could be / are passed on to the end-user
through increased tuition / school costs, then the additional initial investment for resilience /
reliability only represents an increase of SAR11,815,850 (CAPEX OPTION 5 – CAPEX
OPTION 2), or an increase of less than 1% (0.6%) of the OPTION 5 owning expenditure of
the cooling and HVAC system.
Furthermore, OPTION 5 will provide flexibility for the site during the entire life cycle of the
project.

Centralized operation and control possible from centralized BMS Increased local structural loading as heavier / largerIndividual temperature control if VAV Requires chilled water provisionsImproved air distribution over FCU located in bulkhead / hotel-type arrangement
Similar life cycle to packages AHUs unless located in an enclosed AHU Plantroom
Chilled Water - Variable Air Volume (VAV) and Constant Air Volume (CAV) AHU System
VAV and / or CAV AHUs located to either central roof level AHU Plantrooms / enclosures or decentralized satellite floor level Plantrooms with supply and return air ducted to / from floor levels
Central maintenance of AHU without disruption to occupied space when carrying out maintenanceMinimal hydronic equipment located in occupied spaceNoise located to roof level and at distance from occupied spaceVAV boxes approximately equal in flow capacity to fan coil units Cheaper condensate recovery opportunitiesRequires less electrical infrastructure at the buildingLarger compared to packaged AHUs resulting in fewer AHUs
