Proposer Additional Info
I just gave this session at Boston NESEA and i received a LOT of positive feedback.
Proposed Session Description
This course will provide the practical knowledge that everyone involved with high rise buildings requires to decide if a VRF system is right for their building and to guide and assist the engineer with the actual design. A case study will be reviewed to discuss owner decisions and interactions with regard to condenser metering, location and acoustics. We will discuss CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis and the ways it can be used to optimize condenser spacing, access and airflow.
Why is this session important?
Electrification of the HVAC systems in high rise buildings is a key component in overall electrification and decarbonization of buildings. Many people are not aware that VRF can be used in high rise buildings and this session will show how to overcome the design obstacles.
Learning Objectives
You will learn VRF types of equipment, options and distribution options.
You will understand height limitations and the potential/ideal locations of the condensers.
You will review a case study of an actual installation and review acoustical issues, excessive cost problems and options for condenser farm layouts.
You will learn to optimize condenser farm layouts using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis.
