3. AHU Commissioning Process (from CTPL)
Step 1: Design Review-
check control logic, sensor placement and sensor accuracy.
M not currently emphasized in protocols
A Step 2: Operator Interview-
N for existing buildings, ask building operator whether the air handling
U units are operating properly to the best of their knowledge.
iterative!
A
L Step 3: Installation Review and Verification-
conduct a field inspection to determine installed characteristics of the
B equipment including condition and sensor availability
update documents
E
M Step 4: Forced Response Testing and Analysis-
S complete passive testing with BEMS, before active testing
manipulate the system under test by means of setpoint changes and
sensor overrides. Document along with mode changes.
Evaluate data for compliance.

4. Automation of functional test scripts
1. Verify communications link
2. Run pre-coded test sequence from library
Value Displays as
READ is completed
This is the line number to input
to change reference value

5. Procedure for Cx Analysis
CAV 1. Import test data
VAV
2. Specify data relationships
3. Specify system functionality
4. Analyze using modified APAR rules
5. Compare to archived tests for On-going Cx

15. Gas Savings Estimate
Correct the boiler control logic
n Boiler plant ran 24/7 to avoid occupant discomfort.
n The control logic error was corrected January 5, 2004.
¨ improved comfort for occupants
¨ decreased gas consumption
¨ increased protection of the boiler plant equipment.

17. Conclusions
n Some adaptation required for new systems
n CITE_AHU detected 3 faults in 4 automated tests
n Scheduling errors (€)
n Cooling Coil & Heating coil Undercapacity
n Boilers sequencing
n Development of automated tools must be used in conjunction with
good protocol for system design reviews
¨ Limitations to automated testing (i.e., detecting sensor
placement errors)
n Quantitative energy benefits
¨ Excludes service requests Total gain 5000 €
¨ Equipment life
Project cost 15000 €
¨ Heat recovery
Pay back 3 years
n Non-quantitative benefits also achieved- comfort, operator
knowledge, maintenance, documentation
17
18. Future development
n Define specific test scenarios (with user-changeable parameters)
n Integrate test scenarios into CITE_AHU interface
n Automate documentation of test results
¨ Incorporate required manual test and documentation archive
n Test VAV systems, Expand for other configurations
n Investigate Manufacturer interest to provide integrated package.
