2 Technologies Used in Zero Energy Buildings Reduced Energy Need Active and passive beams Chilled ceilings and TABS Radiant floor cooling (&heating) Displacement ventilation UFAD (under floor air diffusion) Natural and hybrid ventilation Night purge ventilation Personal ventilation Active solar shading LED lighting Light tubes (daylight) BMS Focus of this presentation is on underlined HVAC technologies Reduced System Energy Use DOAS Energy recovery Dehumidification Adiabatic & desiccant cooling Evaporative cooling Demand based ventilation Earth tubes Condensing boilers On-site Energy Production District heating and cooling Heat pumps Solar heat Solar cooling Photovoltaic (PV) Wind turbines Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations 2

3 Passive Chilled Beams Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations 3

4 Main Principles of Passive Chilled Beam Passive chilled beams comprise a heat exchanger for cooling, and when desired for heating. The operation is based on natural convection. The primary air is supplied to the space using separate diffusers either in the ceiling or wall, low velocity units at low level or alternatively through the raised floor. Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations 4

5 Active Chilled Beams Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations 5

6 Chilled Beam Operation 1. Primary air (dehumidificated outdoor air) supply into supply air chamber Primary air is supplied through small nozzles. 3. Primary air supply induces room air to be re-circulated through the heat exchanger of the chilled beam. 4. Re-circulated room air and the primary air are mixed prior to diffusion in the space 6 5. Cold water connection 6. Warm water connection Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations 6

22 Displacement Ventilation System Thermal displacement ventilation is based on cool air supply at low level and stratification of room air temperature and contaminants due to natural buoyancy forces of the heat gains. Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations 22

23 Height Lower Energy Consumption in Cooling and Better IAQ Contaminants are carried above the shift zone by convective plumes thus air in the occupied zone is cleaner By cooling occupied zone only, the required airflow rate & cooling capacity may be reduced Temperature, Contaminants Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning Associations 23
