Control System Functional Description

General Requirements (applicable to all AHUs) Filter condition monitoring Cleanliness of filters shall be monitored via a differential pressure switch (provided by the AHU supplier), when the differential pressure as sensed by the switch exceeds the filter manufacturers recommended value, the control system shall give rise to a flag in order to alert that the filters need to be replaced. AHU Fan condition monitoring Supply fans shall be monitored for their status via either a fan differential pressure switch (provided by the AHU supplier) or through the overload switch located in the MCC. Fire detection monitoring Should a fire occur inside any part of the building served by the AHUs, as signalled by a fire alarm interface (provided by other) located adjacent to the MCC, the MCC shall provide the following signals to the respective AHU: - Disable supply fan - Disable extract fan, - Close outdoor air intake damper, - Close return air damper, This feature shall be a hard-wired feature in the MCC (i.e. not through a controller), its operational status shall be however monitored via a controller in order to know that the fans and cooling systems are disabled. Free cooling and heating In those instances when cooling is required (T actual > T setpoint) and the outdoor air temperature is cooler than the return temperature, the heat exchanger is to be bypassed (provide a signal to the AHU supplier provided on/off by-pass actuators), open the fresh air damper to their maximum position to admit the maximum possible amount of outdoor air to cool the served zone naturally, open the zones VAV boxes in a manner that maintains the same proportional air volume flow rates between the various VAV boxes. (This is applicable even for units without heat exchangers). The converse shall apply on free heating.

Particular Requirements for AHU-East, and AHU-South) General (for AHU-East and AHU-South) The Office block areas shall have their ventilation served through AHU-East and AHU-South. These shall comprise of a supply and extract fan, heat recovery ventilation element with free cooling bypass damper, filters capable of delivering air filtered to at least F7 quality, activated carbon filters, cooling coils heating coils and if necessary sound attenuators. AHU Fan operation The AHU fans shall be started on receipt of a signal to start the ventilation system. The signal shall be received via either a room mounted switch located near the reception or through the MCC fascia or through a remote location through an internet connection. Once the signal is received, the AHU intake and exhaust dampers shall fully open and once a confirmation is received from the damper limit switches that both dampers are fully open, the fans shall ramp up (via the AHU supplier provided speed drives) to a desired speed (full speed as commissioned, or to a manually selected speed). The AHU fan speed shall also be user

11

adjustable from the MCCs HMI (Human Machine Interface, which may be a touch screen based controller The fan speed shall normally be controlled to maintain a constant duct static pressure as sensed by static pressure sensors installed on the supply duct and on the return duct. Location of installation of the duct static pressure sensor shall generally be circa 2 metres (upstream for supply and downstream for return) away from the farthest VAV box or closable air terminal from the AHUs fan Both AHUs shall have the total air volume flow monitored by means of a summation of the signal from the VAV boxes, which shall be averageable every 0.5 seconds. Alternatively the units may be equipped with flow grids c/w volume air-flow display in m/h (not shown on the drawings and BOQs) on the following ducts: (main supply duct, main return air duct) Cooling or heating control When air-flow is proven across the AHUs supply fans via their differential pressure switches, the cooling or heating mode is enabled (cooling or heating mode is selectable from the user interface and will effect the mode of operation of the AHUs respective heatpump chiller by providing a signal to the LON gateway provided with the chiller CH-01 and heat pump HP-01, provided by others). The system shall control the supply duct temperature. Modulating control shall be done in the following sequence (described in cooling mode but the reverse shall also apply to heating mode): When the unit is not in free-cooling or free-heating modes: Modulate the chillers leaving water temperature, up to an adjustable maximum value as recommended by the chiller and heat pump manufacturers (by providing a signal through the chiller and heat pump LON gateway provided by others), Modulate the AHUs three way valve (cooling or heating depending on mode of operation) (three way valve and actuator provided by others) When the unit is in free cooling or free-heating mode: Start the disabling sequence of the chiller or heat pumps, their associated pumps and place the three way valve in diverting mode. The temperature set-point shall be user adjustable via the MCCs HMI (Human-Machine Interface), or through a remote panel. The controller shall modulate the position of the chilled water control valve in response to the demand for cooling or heating. In addition the system shall also provide a monitor of the actual supply duct temperature and relative humidity. The system shall have in addition a control loop pre-programmed to facilitate control of supply duct temperature and humidity in the summer months by having the cooling coil and chilled water temperature controlling the supply duct moisture content to the moisture content calculated from the desired supply duct temperature and relative humidity, while the heating coil will re-heat the supply air to the desired supply air temperature as necessary. This total control function will have the possibility of being disabled in favour of the supply duct temperature only control function. Heat exchange control When air-flow is proven across the AHUs supply fan via the differential pressure switch, the heat exchange cooling mode is enabled.

12

The system shall operate the heat exchanger in recovery mode as long as: - In cooling mode: Tsupply air > Tsupply air set-point AND Treturn air < Toutdoor air, and - In heating mode: vice versa. The supply duct, return duct and outdoor air duct temperature sensors are to be provided by the controls contractor. The supply duct temperature set-point shall be adjustable via a space provided HMI and / or through a remote panel. Activated carbon filter air condition monitor The temperature and relative humidity of the activated carbon filter bank shall be monitored via AHU mounted sensors. If the temperature or relative humidity on the activated carbon filters drops below the minimum values or rises above the maximum values recommended by the activated carbon filter manufacturer, an alarm is raised and the user shall be requested to confirm whether they require the fan to be disabled or override the alarm. Office zone air differential pressure control This function shall take precedence over all other temperature control or energy control functions but not safety functions such as disabling of the ventilation systems in case of fire. Each office zone shall have their differential pressure monitored and controlled via a sensitive air differential pressure sensor, to ensure that each office zone is maintained at a positive pressure with filtered air with respect to the external unfiltered environment. In normal operation the supply air volume shall be maintained constant by the VAV box to a client agreed air volume flow rate, to ensure adequate ventilation of the building. The room pressure control shall monitor the office zone air differential pressure and modulate the position of the office zone return air VAV box to maintain a constant user-adjustable differential pressure Other monitoring only functions The control system shall also enable the monitoring only of the following parameters that have not been listed in the preceding sections: Office zone supply air flow rate, Office zone return air flow rate, Office zone differential pressure, AHU entering water temperature, AHU leaving water temperature, Chiller entering water temperature, Chiller leaving water temperature, AHU supply duct temperature, AHU return duct temperature Alarms Raised The control system shall provide the following alarms that may not be mentioned in the preceding sections: Activated carbon filter temperature outside the recommended range Activated carbon filter relative humidity outside the recommended range Office zone differential pressure low (adjustable for example to 3 Pa and critically low for example less than 1 Pa) AHU total return air flow rate low (user adjustable setpoint monitored through summation of all associated VAV boxes or via the inclusion of a flow grid on the supply and return ducts that are not shown on
