July 28, 2015 Ms. Melissa Baker Superintendent South Lyon Community Schools 345 South Warren South Lyon, MI 48178 Project Name: South Lyon Community Schools 2015 Bond Elementary School Remodeling IDS Project No.: 15137-2014 Dear Ms. Baker: Integrated Design Solutions has performed an evaluation of several heating, ventilating and air conditioning renovation options for the existing classrooms at Dolsen Elementary, Bartlett Elementary, Salem Elementary and Sayre Elementary Schools. The systems evaluated in the analysis included the following: 1. Vertical unit ventilator with hot water heating and chilled water cooling. 2. Vertical unit ventilator with hot water heating and DX cooling; reuse existing how water heating piping. 3. Vertical unit ventilator with hot water heating and DX cooling; provide new how water heating piping. 4. Above ceiling variable refrigerant flow (VRF) with roof mounted energy recovery unit. 5. Vertical unit ventilator with air-source heat pump. 6. Vertical unit ventilator with hot water heating and chilled water cooling. The analysis included the estimated cost of construction, annual energy and maintenance costs, sound power levels and simple payback, as well as a list of pros and cons for each system. Of the systems evaluated, the above-ceiling variable refrigerant flow (VRF) with roof-mounted energy recovery unit provided the lowest annual owning and operating cost with a slight premium over the lowest first cost system. The estimated construction cost is less than the system budgeted in the bond. On July 15, 2015, IDS, along with representatives from the South Lyon School District, visited the Daikin Training Facility in New Hudson, Michigan to review the VRF system components, options and basic operation, and to become familiar with its operation. Based on the HVAC analysis and site visit, IDS recommends that the above-ceiling variable refrigerant flow (VRF) with roof-mounted energy recovery unit system be implemented at the above elementary schools.

PURPOSE AND ASSUMPTIONS PURPOSE The purpose of this analysis is to compare six different classrooms HVAC options for the existing elementary schools at South Lyon Community Schools. These schools include Bartlett Elementary, Sayre Elementary, Salem Elementary and Dolsen Elementary. The analysis includes estimated cost of installation, annual energy and maintenance costs, sound power levels, simple payback as well as a list of pros and cons for each system analyzed. The systems included in the analysis are as follows: Vertical Unit Ventilator with Chilled Water Cooling and Hot Water Heating Vertical Unit Ventilator with DX Cooling and Hot Water Heating (Existing) Vertical Unit Ventilator with DX Cooling and Hot Water Heating (New) Above-Ceiling Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Vertical Unit Ventilator with Air-Source Heat Pump Vertical Unit Ventilator with Water-Source Heat Pump ASSUMPTIONS A virtual building model was created for this analysis. o The model consists of 10 classrooms. o Each classroom is 728 sqft. o The classrooms were oriented to account for the diversity of peak loads individual classrooms due to solar heat gain. o The model includes heat gains and losses through walls, windows and roofs of typical construction. o The model includes internal loads from people, lights and equipment per ASHRAE 90.1 guidelines. o The model underwent a computer simulation of 10 months assuming standardized weather data for Michigan. o The building was assumed to be unoccupied between June 15th and August 15th per owner direction. Energy recovery of the ventilation air was assumed across all options. All options include above-ceiling ducting of supply air to ceiling mounted diffusers in classrooms. In most options it is assumed that the existing hot water heating distribution system is beyond its useful life and requires replacement. One option with the (EXISTING) designation explores the implications of reusing the existing piping. All existing Unit Ventilators will be removed. f:\2015\15137\2014\reports\design\rpt001final 7-30-15.docx Page 1.1
