ASHRAE 90.1 Language ASHRAE 90.1 Language (Proposed) (Proposed)

  • National baseline energy code for

buildings

  • Public peer review starts July; headed

for 2013 publication

  • FEG67
  • 15 percentage points of peak total

efficiency

  • Lots of exclusions/exemptions
slide-10
SLIDE 10

ASHRAE 90.1 Addendum u ASHRAE 90.1 Addendum u

  • Exceptions

– <= 5 HP – Fan arrays, aggregate <= 5 HP – AHRI-certified packaged equipment – Powered roof and powered wall ventilators (PRVs) See full list of exclusions in Notes page

slide-11
SLIDE 11

ASHRAE 90.1 (FYI) ASHRAE 90.1 (FYI)

  • Fan Power Limit
  • Not well known or understood
  • Implied fan efficiency requirement

–The higher the system resistance, the higher the fan efficiency –At 6-in. w.g., FEG67

slide-12
SLIDE 12

2012 IgCC Language 2012 IgCC Language (Final) (Final)

  • For buildings < 25,000 sq ft
  • FEG71 for stand-alone supply, return,

exhaust fans

  • 10 percentage points of peak total or

static efficiency

  • Voluntary, above-code adoption

DOE Update DOE Update

  • Jun 30, 2011: DOE publishes intent

–Commercial and industrial fans, blowers, & fume hoods –AMCA responded “collaboratively”

  • Dec 19, 2011: AMCA meets with DOE

–DOE recommends joint proposal

  • May 19, 2012: AMCA met with

Environmental Lobby

DOE Synopsis DOE Synopsis

  • Next Steps:

–AMCA establishes Board-approved task forces –AMCA negotiates joint proposal –AMCA comments on DOE milestone documents

DOE Synopsis DOE Synopsis

  • Final regulation due 2015

–Becomes effective in 5 years (2020) –Could be earlier, if agreed in stakeholder proposal to DOE

Aerodynamic Fan Improvements Aerodynamic Fan Improvements

  • DOE: American fans consume

– 0.9 quads of electricity in industry

–1.6 quads in commercial buildings –13% of U.S. electricity

  • We have heard that they will propose

–15% improvement in prop fans –3% in airfoil centrifugal

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Aerodynamic Fan Improvements Aerodynamic Fan Improvements

  • ACEEE estimates:

– 10% improvement in centrifugal fans is possible – 56% improvement in axial fan efficiency

VISION 2020 VISION 2020

  • VISION 2020:

–AMCA members proactively establish what they want in 2020 when DOE regulations are in place.

  • It’s your decision – but you must engage
slide-23
SLIDE 23

VISION 2020 VISION 2020

  • What you probably DON’T you want:

– Obsolete whole fan categories – Expensive R&D and manufacturing investments – Very little (and at-risk) energy savings

slide-24
SLIDE 24

VISION 2020 VISION 2020

  • AMCA strategy:

– Part 1: Shape conventional DOE energy- efficiency requirement for fans

  • Coverage: Fan types, sizes, applications
  • Test Standard: Efficiency rating; boundaries of

measurement

  • Labeling: What’s on a fan nameplate?
  • Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS):

– Efficiency metric and threshold (e.g., FEG67)

slide-25
SLIDE 25

VISION 2020 VISION 2020

  • AMCA strategy:

– Part 2: Introduce a NEW system-efficiency requirement as an alternative

  • Coverage: Fan types, sizes, applications
  • Test Standard:

– Measure fan efficiency in the field after installation – Monitoring and reporting into the future

  • Labeling: ?
  • Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS)

– Expressed in watts/cfm threshold, varies by application

slide-26
SLIDE 26

VISION 2020 VISION 2020

  • Air-System Approach – Benefits

–Shifts regulatory focus from “fans” to “air systems” –More energy savings will result –AMCA members will invest less in product design

slide-27
SLIDE 27

VISION 2020 VISION 2020

  • Air-System Approach – Benefits

–AMCA members will invest less in product design –Fewer models will be made obsolete –AMCA members will sell larger, more efficient fans

slide-28
SLIDE 28

VISION 2020 VISION 2020

  • Air-System Approach – Challenges

–Time, resources –Need AMCA member consensus –Need industry consensus

  • AHRI? SMACNA? BOMA?

–Need environmental lobby consensus

slide-29
SLIDE 29

VISION 2020 VISION 2020

  • Joint proposal (Part 1 and Part 2) can

include:

–Professional development and training grants

  • Engineers, contractors, code officials

–Tax incentives or grants –Utility rebates for owners –R&D grants for software development

slide-30
SLIDE 30

Next Step Next Step – – AMCA Task Forces AMCA Task Forces

  • Board of Directors directive:

– Establish Air System Efficiency Task Force to develop AMCA-consensus approach – Establish Product Efficiency Task Force to establish product efficiency limits

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Next Step Next Step – – AMCA Task Forces AMCA Task Forces

  • Subcommittees of AMCARC
  • Fan Committee will operate

independently

  • Marketing Committee will operate

independently

  • There will be “coordinated overlap”
slide-32
SLIDE 32

Next Step Next Step – – AMCA Task Forces AMCA Task Forces

  • Task Forces need broad spectrum of

members

  • Engineers
  • Sales & Marketing
  • Executive
  • Board-approved chair and vice chair
  • Need Task Forces active by mid-July
