Total number of zones with cooling will determine system mode demands 1.5 F. above the zone(s) cooling setpoint. If the total number of zones requesting heat outnumber cooling demand zones, the system will request a system heating mode and all zones desiring cooling will remain in a stand-alone mode. All cooling zones will go closed, to minimum position or to supplemental heat position during system heating mode. With a system cooling demand greater than heat, the system will energize the first stage of cooling. All zones desiring cooling will modulate their zone dampers open, corresponding to their space temperature demand. Upon a further rise in space temp of 2.0 F or greater than the cooling Setpoint of the reference zone, the system shall execute a call for second stage cooling. If conditions are being satisfied with first stage only based on the Optimized Staging conclusion, if so configured, second stage will be delayed until conditions are no longer being maintained by first stage. Upon a decline in demand to 1.0 F of the reference zone Setpoint, 2nd stage cooling will be released. Upon a further decline in demand to.4 F of setpoint of the reference zone, first stage cooling will be released. The reference zone is determined by the largest demand for the cooling mode. The reference zone shall be re-evaluated during the system-cooling mode until all zones have satisfied their cooling demands. The system shall be capable of re-evaluating the system cooling mode, switching to a system heating mode, based on a configurable system mode re-select time value from 0 to 480 minutes when space temperature demand is greater for heating. 3. Heating Operation Staging Control: a. The system will scan all associated zones to collect system temperature demand data. Total number of zones with heating will determine system mode demands 1.5 F. below the zone(s) heating Setpoint. If the total number of zones requesting cooling outnumber heating demand zones, the Monitor will request a system cooling mode and all zones desiring heating will remain in a stand-alone mode. All heating zones will go closed, to minimum position or supplemental heat position during system cooling mode. With a system heating demand greater than cool, the Monitor will energize the first stage of heating. All zones desiring heating will modulate their zone damper to maintain space temperature demand. Upon a further fall in space temperature 2.0 F below the heating Setpoint of the reference zone, the Monitor shall execute a call for second stage cooling. If conditions are being satisfied with first stage only based on the Optimized Staging conclusion, second stage will be delayed until conditions are no longer being maintained by first stage. Upon a decline in demand to 1.0 F of the reference zone Setpoint, second stage heating will be released. Upon a further decline in demand to.4 F of setpoint of the reference zone first stage heating will be released. The reference zone is determined by the largest demand for the heating mode. The reference zone shall be re-evaluated during the system-heating mode until all zones have satisfied their heating demands. The Monitor shall be capable of re-evaluating the system heating mode, switching to a system cooling mode, based on a configurable system mode re-select time value from 0 to 480 minutes when zone temperature demand is greater for cooling. Supplemental heat shall be capable at the zone level during a system-heating mode. B. Unoccupied Mode 1. Fan Operation: a. If the fan mode is configured to ON or AUTO the system fan will be brought on with first stage cooling or heating when the VVT Comfort System is in the unoccupied mode. The system fan will be released when the system demand has been satisfied. 15900-10 VVT ENERGY MANAGEMENT CONTROL SYSTEM 15900 VVT ENERGY MANAGEMENT CONTROL SYSTEM
