3 Executive Summary Executive Summary LG Electronics U.S.A. Commercial Air-Conditioning (LG CAC) conducted an energy efficiency option analysis for a proposed office building design. To provide a concrete basis for analysis, the building would be built in Department of Energy (DOE) climate zones, 1A, 2B, 3A, 4A, and 5A. This study explores the energy and resulting cost savings of operating a LG Multi V III Heat Recovery Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) System as compared with operating various types of commercially typical HVAC systems described in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED for New Construction & Major Renovations ) baseline building. LG CAC created several computer simulations of the proposed and baseline designs, all of which used the same floor plans, occupancy schedules, lighting power density, ventilation, and envelopes types. Only the mechanical system types and associated efficiencies differed for each simulation. The simulations demonstrated that the proposed designs using LG Multi V III Heat Recovery VRF systems provided significant annual utility bill savings when compared to all LEED baseline building systems.

4 Introduction Introduction Overview This engineering case study explores the implementation of a LG Multi V III Heat Recovery VRF system in a typical new construction multi-story commercial office building. Specifically, it compares the energy saving when compared to a baseline building as the United States Green Building Council (USGBC s) LEED 1. The study was conducted using a building model with the same physical properties, and based on the exact same plans in five different climates Miami, FL (1A), Phoenix, AZ (2B), Atlanta, GA (3A), New York, NY (4A), and Chicago, IL (5A). (See Figure 1) Figure 1: DOE climate zones (ASHRAE Standard ) 1 United Green Building Council (USGBC ) LEED Green Building Design and Construction 2009 Edition Design Manual. VRF-ES-BK-011-US 011L18 3
5 Introduction The building consists of six stories with a total area of conditioned space at 133,595 ft². The types of conditioned space included varying sizes and miscellaneous spaces such as the office, lobbies, conference, break, and fitness rooms, as well as some mechanical/electrical rooms. (See Table 2) Outside air is introduced to the inlet of the heat recovery ventilators serving spaces of the building. The buildings envelopes consisted of a mass wall with friction-fit insulation and roof with insulation entirely above a deck. The common spaces and offices were expected to operate from Monday through Friday (8am-7pm, 75 hours per week).

6 Modeling Approach Modeling Approach Overview EnergyPro version 5.1, computer-based building energy simulation software developed by EnergySoft (www.energysoft.com), was used to model the building for this analysis. EnergyPro software contains the following accreditations: Employs the DOE-2.1E simulation engine Approved by California Energy Commission for use with California Title 24 code Approved by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for use with Residential and Nonresidential Tax Credits Accepted by California Utilities for Savings by Design Incentive Program Accepted by USGBC to apply for LEED certification To determine savings, the energy consumption was calculated using LEED baseline building requirements.

7 Modeling Approach Baseline Building The LEED design guide uses building material specifications defined by the ASHRAE Standard for the envelope such as U-values for walls, roofs, floors, and windows. Three different baseline systems were developed consisting of multiple heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems each. The conditioned areas were served by ASHRAE Standard System 8, variable air volume (VAV), and chilled water with parallel fan powered (PFP) Boxes which were composed of a central, variable-volume fan that supplied conditioned air to each room. In addition, ASHRAE Standard System 3, packaged rooftop air conditioner (PSZ-AC) and ASHRAE Standard minimum efficient water-source heat pump (WSHP) were also considered as baseline HVAC systems. The office building is assumed to be fully heated and cooled. Setup and setback schedules are implemented during unoccupied hours (nighttime), when the HVAC system is set to cycle to maintain temperature requirements for setup and setback and maintain humidity requirements. Although humidity may not typically be controlled during unoccupied periods, avoiding mold and moisture is good practice. (See Table 4 for details about the specification of the baseline and proposed HVAC systems, respectively.) Proposed Building The proposed building models used Multi V III Heat Recovery VRF commercial airconditioning systems, which are designed for large-scale facilities, such as commercial office buildings, hotels, hospitals, and schools (See Figure 3) Multi V III Heat Recovery system features superior energy efficiency and longer piping capabilities and is ARHI 1230 certified. Boosted by LG's high-side shell compressor, the system provided an increased inverter range for a better response to load matching. Multi V III Heat Recovery system could reduce operational costs while providing reliable heat in colder regions. Multi V III Heat Recovery system s advanced rapid start feature enables the compressors to come on faster to meet startup load. Multi V III Heat Recovery system s compact space-saving design and industry leading piping capabilities provided the ultimate in design flexibility.

Component Comparison Several components were considered and analyzed in the building model: Modeled sizes and efficiencies (code minimum efficiencies) Baseline building envelope Lighting system Mechanical system Domestic hot-water system Building Envelope The model s building envelope characteristics followed the baseline values stipulated by LEED, which adheres to ASHRAE Standard : Components Windows: (32.78 % of Wall Area) Exterior Walls (Mass wall building) Assembly U-factor Table 3: Building Envelope Characteristics Miami, FL (1A) Phoenix, AZ (2B) Locations (Climate Zones) Atlanta, GA (3A) New York, NY (4A) Chicago, IL (5A) U-1.20 U-0.55 U-0.6 U SHGC Skylights None None None None None Above Grade Below Grade Roofs (Entirely Insulated) U U U U U U U U U U U U Floors U U U U Opaque doors U U U U Standards LEED for New Construction & Major Renovations ASHRAE ASHRAE VRF-ES-BK-011-US 011L18 7
9 Modeling Approach Mechanical Systems HVAC System A VAV system (ASHRAE std Sys-8 VAV with elec. Reheat) is the baseline defined by ASHRAE std for this building size and type. This system is used in the building types of nonresidential and more than five floors or more than 150,000 ft². A RTU-Gas Furnace (ASHRAE Standard 90.1 Sys-3) is a typical HVAC package used in many building types. ASHRAE Standard minimum efficient WSHP systems have recently become a popular choice to replace outdated HVAC systems. Baseline and proposed HVAC systems were as follows: Cooling Systems Table 4: Air-Handling Mechanical System Characteristics Cooling Tower Chiller VAV with elec.

11 Results Results Overview According to the Commercial Building Energy Consumption Survey (CBECS), office buildings in the United States comprise roughly consume an average of 93 kbtu per square foot of site energy each year. Office buildings represent nearly one-fifth of all delivered energy consumed by commercial buildings, and are, therefore, an important focus for energy efficiency improvements (EIA 2005). 4 Our goal is to investigate the feasibility of reducing energy use in newly constructed large office buildings across the United States relative to one built to comply with the minimum requirements of ASHRAE Standard Multi V III Heat Recovery The Multi V III Heat Recovery VRF systems used an average of 54 kbtu per square foot of site energy each year. The savings varied based on the location and the utility rates, but the Multi V III Heat Recovery VRF systems averaged about 21% of cost savings. (See Figure 4 and Figure 5) The whole building energy cost savings realized with the Multi V III Heat Recovery VRF systems was 33% when compared to RTU system-3 and 47% average savings when comparing HVAC energy cost. The whole building energy cost savings realized with the Multi V III Heat Recovery system was 21% when compared to VAV system-8 and a 32% average savings when comparing HVAC energy cost. The whole building energy cost savings realized with the Multi V III Heat Recovery system was 7% on average compared to an ASHRAE standard WSHP system. When comparing the energy cost used by the HVAC systems alone, Multi V III- Heat Recovery system was 12% less on average. Based on the average energy cost savings from the models, future projects would meet the LEED EA credit 1 prerequisite and qualify for about up to six LEED points. The savings are detailed in the graphs (See Figure 6~Figure 15) and are further detailed in tables in the Annual Building Energy Consumption Comparisons and Annual Energy Consumption by End Use Summaries (See Table 8 ~Table 17). 4 NREL, Technical Support Document: Strategies for 50% Energy Savings in Large Office Buildings, VRF-ES-BK-011-US 011L18 10

23 Results LEED for New Construction & Major Renovations The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) 2009 Green Building Rating Systems are voluntary, consensus-based, and market-driven. Based on proven technology, they evaluate environmental performance from a whole building perspective over a building s life cycle, providing a standard for what constitutes a green building in design, construction, and operation. The LEED rating system provides a complete framework for assessing building performance and meeting sustainability goals. Based on a system of prerequisites and credits, referring to ASHRAE standards, LEED projects earn points during the certification process, and then are awarded certification levels. Figure 16 LG Multi-V III Heat Recovery VRF Building Energy Cost Savings (%) and Potential LEED Points * EA Credit 1: Optimize Energy Performance (1 19 points) Percentage energy cost saving in the proposed building performance rating compared with the baseline building performance rating. The baseline building performance according to ASHRAE Standard is calculated using a simulation model for the whole building project. The minimum energy cost savings percentage for each point threshold is as follows: New Buildings Existing Building Renovations Points 12% 8% 1 14% 10% 2 16% 12% 3 18% 14% 4 20% 16% 5 22% 18% 6 24% 20% 7 26% 22% 8 28% 24% 9 30% 26% 10 32% 28% 11 34% 30% 12 36% 32% 13 38% 34% 14 40% 36% 15 42% 38% 16 44% 40% 17 46% 42% 18 48% 44% 19 VRF-ES-BK-011-US 011L18 22
24 Results The Multi V III VRF air conditioning system is engineered for sustainable green building and provides opportunities for designers to claim many LEED prerequisites and credit points. Below are LG Electronics recommendations and strategies to earn points towards LEED for New Construction certification using Multi V VRF systems. Table 18 LG Electronics recommendations and strategies towards LEED certification Section Title EA(Energ y and Atmosph ere) IEQ(Indo or Environ mental Quality) Credit Intent of Credit Points LG Electronics Recommendations Prereq 2 Prereq 3 Credit 1 Credit 4 Prereq 1 Prereq 3 Credit 1 Credit 2 Credit 3.2 Minimum Energy Performance Fundamental Refrigerant Management Optimize Energy Performance Enhanced Refrigerant Management Minimum IAQ Performance Minimum Acoustical Performance Outdoor Air Delivery Monitoring Increased Ventilation Construction Indoor Air Quality Management Plan Required Required 1 to 19 2 Required Required All LG Electronics products meet/exceed ASHRAE Standard All LG Electronics products use environmentally friendly refrigerant R410A. Multi V offers exceptional energy performance by using state of the art controls, high efficiency variable speed fan assemblies, and a combination of variable and constant speed compressors. Select heat recovery equipment options. Use Multi V heat recovery systems and eco V (Heat Recovery Ventilator). The modular design of Multi V uses multiple indoor units, allowing the designer to provide individualized control for each occupant. LG s building management controllers and communication gateways make it easy to monitor energy usage and control the Multi V system operations based on building usage or indoor air quality. All LG Electronics products have tested sound data in accordance with standards. Use eco V (Heat Recovery Ventilator). VRF-ES-BK-011-US 011L18 23
