5. Active project updates

a. 1649-TRP Impact of Higher Efficiency Filtration on IAQ in Residential Environments with Central HVAC

i. PI: Jeff Siegel, University of Torontoii. PMS: Tom Justice, Rahul Bharadwaj, Bruce McDonald, John Zhang, Brian

Krafthefer, and Gemma Kerriii. PMS met Saturday January 20 1:30-2:30 pm in Palmer Clark 9iv. PMS chair summary: they’ve generated a large amount of data and have

asked for a no cost extension to finish analysis and reportingv. PI’s graduate student (Masih Alavy) presented a summary of the project to

date. 21 total sites and 1 year of measurements now complete. Measurements included filter efficiency (0.01 to 10 µm), pressure drop, airflow rates, system runtimes, and indoor particle counts using an inexpensive Dylos monitor. Current focus of the project is continuing quality assurance and data analysis.

b. 1734-TRP, Reproducing the Typical Urban Atmospheric Aerosol in Laboratory for Air Filter Loading

i. Project awarded to Purdue University (PI: Brandon Boor) in Las Vegas (Winter 2017)

ii. PMS: Paolo Tronville (chair), Geoff Crosby, Tom Justice, Brian Krafthefer, Bruce McDonald

iii. PMS met Sunday January 21 1:00-2:00 pm in Palmer Salon 2iv. Official start date of the project was scheduled for August 1, 2017v. PI provided a summary of project to date: PI presented aims of the project,

which include developing a repeatable, stable, reproducible, and cost effective method for generating synthetic PM for HVAC filter loading tests (results of which would be incorporated in GP35). To date they have conducted a large literature review on ambient aerosol distributions globally in the literature and reviewed (and selected) aerosol generation techniques to meet the goals. They have chosen an NaCl thermal generator which yields mass distributions that agree well with the reviewed literature (but not necessarily number).

c. 1756-TRP, Evaluation of Low-Cost Particle Sensors for Indoor Air Quality Monitoring in Smart Building Systems

i. Project awarded to Ohio State University (PI: Andy May, co-PI: Jordan Clark) in Long Beach and the contract was signed in December after some delay (finally formally awarded 3 days before this meeting)

ii. PMS also decided to have informal kick-off meeting Sunday January 21 2:00 pm (targeted for Palmer Salon 2)

iii. PMS: Brent Stephens, Paolo Tronville, Vijay, Glenn Remington (7.5), and Liping Wang (7.5)

iv. Co-PI Clark provided a brief summary of the project goals, which include evaluating the accuracy and other performance indicators for low cost (i.e., less than $1000) sensors. They have developed a list of sensors and are establishing criteria for deciding whether to include a sensor in their testing (TC 2.4 should provide input here if interested).

6. Work Statement (WS) activity between meetings

a. 1784-WS on Round Robin with 52.2i. Champions: Keith Chesson, Thad Ptak, Rahul, Bob Burkhead, Gemma,

Tandeep, Leslie S, and Jim Rosenthalii. Goal: The goal of the RTAR is to do a RR to see how the recent changes in

52.2 affect variability.iii. Status: Conditionally accepted with comments October 2017iv. Thad provided comments to the working group on January 20 2018 and

proposes modifying the scope; working group to meet in Chicago and Keith has provided responses to feedback from RAC (to Brent and Pawel).

v. Spring deadline is March 1 (for bid on March 15). Update from Pawel: If cleared with RAC liaison, it is most likely to go out to bid in the fall because the spring deadline has a large pool of projects (at least 11 going out to bid).

7. RTAR activity between meetings

b. 1626-RTAR Energy Implications of Air Filtration in Commercial Buildingsi. Champion(s): Brent Stephens, Paolo Tronville, Geoff Crosby, Brian

Krafthefer, Jeff Siegel, Zied Driss, and Michael Waring ii. Co-sponsorship ideas include TC 5.1 (Fans), TC 7.6 (Building Energy

Performance), and GPC 35 iii. Brent and Jeff sought the interest of TC 5.1 research subcommittee chair

(Franco Cincotti) at Vegas research chair’s breakfast, who showed interested in co-sponsorship with conditions (5.1 should have members on PES/PMS and co-sponsorship should be approved at this meeting).

iv. Paolo attended TC 5.1 meeting at Long Beach, and reported Jay Eldridge (Daikin) was interested. Mike Corbat sought further help in 2.4 and Kevin Morrow volunteered to help with Brent as main champion. No movement since summer 2017.

v. Also: should theoretically be dropped from RAC’s list due to time lapse.vi. Decision was made to likely drop it and resubmit under a different number

and title at a later date.

Not Selected

Programs to Note in Chicago: Seminar 14 Sunday 315-445 Empire Room “Controlling pollutant sources in Residential Buildings” – Chair: Steven Emmerich Speakers: Paul Francisco, Jeffrey Siegel, Brett Singer, Mike Moore

Houston: The call for papers is closed. Currently, 118 Conference Papers are currently under review. So far, 155 programs submitted for 104 open slots. Expecting over 200 for Houston. Debate, Forum, Workshop, Panel Discussion, and Seminar Proposals: Due February 9, 2018

Track 1: HVAC&R Systems and EquipmentTrack Chair: Frank Schambach Email: frankschambach@mindspring.com

Selection of equipment and systems is paramount to HVAC&R design.  Papers and programs in this track will assist designers, engineers, and operators in the design, selection, and operation of HVAC&R systems and equipment.

Track 2: Fundamentals and ApplicationsTrack Chair: Dennis Alejandro Email: denzjac@yahoo.com

Fundamentals are the foundation for understanding applications in engineering. Key components of ASHRAE fundamentals include thermodynamics, psychrometrics, fluid and mass flow. This track provides opportunities for papers and presentations of varying levels across a large topic base. Concepts, design elements and shared experiences for theoretical and applied concepts of HVAC&R design are included.

Track 3: District Energy and Cogeneration PlantsTrack Chair: Kimberly Pierson Email: kdpwildcat@gmail.com

As our world resources become more and more sparse there is an industry-wide movement toward efficiency and sustainability. One of the ways in which we can look to minimize our carbon footprint is to combine our resources. District energy systems and cogeneration plants do just that and are quite popular in some locales but have yet to gain traction in other developed cities. We will look at the advantages and limitations, do's and don'ts and best practices of utilizing this type of shared system.

Track 4: Safeguarding your HVAC&R SystemTrack Chair: Rich Rose Email: richr@mticontrols.com

From seismic events to power outages and human error, how secure is your HVAC&R System? Mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and control systems all work together to create our living buildings, so it is imperative that designers and operators take into account the reactivity and interaction of these systems in response to natural disasters, human interference and other catastrophic events. Topics in this track include considering your design layout and accessibility, backup systems, supports and bracing, and more.

Track 5: Residential - Modern Buildings in Hot and Humid ClimatesTrack Chair: Dimitris Charalambopoulos Email: dimitris@ashrae.gr

Residential dwellings require designers to consider a different scope of building functions, occupant use, and comfort. With increasing utility rates and a movement toward net zero housing, the traditional residential design models are continuously diversifying and evolving. This track will discuss how we can integrate modern residential design and building practices into hot and/or humid climates with specific challenges ranging from indoor comfort to ventilation and mold.

Track 6: Professional SkillsTrack Chair: Kevin Marple Email: kmarple@benzco.com

This track is designed to provide professionals an opportunity to develop in the areas of presentation skills, leadership, teambuilding, understanding various business operations, interpersonal skills, etc. In short, the Professional Skills Track can cover all aspects of business outside of engineering/technical applications and lends itself to interactive session types such as workshops and forums. 

Track 7: Research SummitTrack Chair: Melanie Derby Email: derbym@ksu.edu

Active research, and the exchange of those research findings are critical to the development of our HVAC&R industry and environment. The sixth annual research summit invites researchers to share those results; and this year we announce an exciting collaboration with ASHRAE's archival research publication, Science and Technology for the Built Environment (STBE). Researchers are invited to present papers, seminars, forums or participate in panel discussions. Authors may also pursue an opportunity to further develop their submissions for later publication in STBE

Track 8: HVAC&R Control FreaksTrack Chair: Gary C. Debes Email: gcdebes@verizon.net

This track will focus on all things controls (note: please see track 9 "MiniTrack" as well).   We invite you to join this exchange addressing one of the most dynamic areas in HVAC&R. Topics may range from design innovations spreading through our industry to the latest in building integration and observation, or even troubleshooting the most common issues occurring in building management systems.

Track 9: HVAC&R AnalyticsTrack Chair: Vikrant Aute Email: vikrant@umd.edu

This track will focus on the application of analytics algorithms/tools to automate systems. The tools and data are readily available, but the challenge is in using them in a timely and effective manner to add value to our HVAC&R Systems. By discussing the basics of analytics, methods, case studies and lessons learned we can consider if machine learning is ready to replace conventional controls
