1 Considerations for Building Controls Does Nighttime Setback really save energy? Natalia Camblor, CEM Project Engineer Sustainable Engineering Group LLC
2 AIA Quality Assurance Learning Objectives 1. Recognize the operational challenges with night setback 2. Understand the energy impact of typical solutions to the operational challenges
3 Night-time Building Setback - Definition Widely used control strategy in which the system is cycled off during unoccupied hours, and the temperature in each zone is allowed to drift away from the occupied setpoint.
4 Night-time Building Setback - Definition
5 The Reason for Night-time Building Setback Allowing the indoor temperature to drift saves energy by reducing the temperature difference between the ambient and the indoors.
6 Typically Good Setback Candidates K-12 Schools Office buildings Places of worship Courthouses Government buildings Strip malls Most higher education buildings
7 Typically Poor Setback Candidates Hospitals Nursing Homes Dormitories Art Museums Prisons & Jails Transportation Terminals Public Safety Buildings
8 Energy Model Building Description Location: Madison, WI Size: 60,000 ft 2 Construction Year: 1997 Facility Type: Middle School Systems: Natural Gas HW VAV with DX cooling Hours: 7:00 am 6:00 pm DDC system
9 Energy Model 3-D Rendering
10 Correctly Programmed Setbacks Save $ 8ºF Setback No Setback (Baseline) 9% Savings
11 Consequences of Setbacks Building envelope is cooled down during setback period Building air temperature may be recovered in most spaces within 1 or 2 hours Envelope and furniture temperature takes longer to recover
12 Air Temperature vs. Radiant Temperature
13 Perceived Temperature Perceived temperature is roughly the average of the mean radiant (surface) temperature and the air temperature.
14 The Untold Reality of Setbacks Some spaces do not reach temperature setpoint when occupants start using the space Most spaces have low radiant temperature causing the perceived temperature to be outside the comfort zone This causes COMPLAINTS!!!
15 The NUMBER 1 Solution Put Air Handling Units (AHUs) into Occupied Mode one to ten hours earlier, never mind the added ventilation Complaints typically go away. Everyone is happy!
16 Three Hours Earlier Start Time Breakeven Point 3 Additional Hours Occupied Mode No Setback (Baseline) All savings from setbacks disappear
17 The NUMBER 2 Solution When everything else fails, put AHUs into Occupied Mode 24/7 Dampers What Dampers?
18 The NUMBER 2 Solution Complaints ALWAYS go away. But what about the BILL???
19 24 Hour Occupied Mode Operation 24 Hour Occupied Mode No Setback (Baseline) 30% Cost Increase
20 Other Observed Solutions Increase boiler supply water temperature Increase speed of boiler VFD Portable electric heaters
21 Recommended Solutions Improve warm-up sequence Utilize DDC to close outdoor air dampers Reduce night setback temperature If there is no DDC, reduce or eliminate setback
22 Nighttime Setback Requirements Night setback can save energy IF: o Warm-up sequence does NOT ventilate (no open OA dampers!) o All occupied spaces are able to recover during warm-up period o All occupants are comfortable even though the perceived temperatures may be below setpoint In practice, this is very difficult to accomplish
23 Conclusions Night setback is perhaps even more complicated than economizer sequencing Only 3 hours extra operation in Wisconsin climate for a school wipes out ALL energy savings Night setback is NOT recommended unless the building will be closely monitored by a skilled professional, as it often increases the energy usage of the building
