"Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems"

Stanley Mumma, PhD, PE
ASHRAE Fellow, ASHRAE DL
Professor Emeritus, Arch. Engineering, Penn State University

Dr. Stanley Mumma is currently Professor Emeritus of Architectural Engineering at Pennsylvania State University. Prior to joining Penn State in 1984, he was a General Motors Corporation project engineer for three years between his undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, and his graduate work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since earning his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 1974, under the mentorship of Dr. Will Stoecker, he has also held faculty positions at Ohio State University and Arizona State University. In the first third of his academic career, his research focused principally on solar and alternate energy. Then his interests changed to innovative ways of meeting ASHRAE Standard 62 in an energy efficient fashion. That work has led to his current intense interest in dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS). He writes extensively on the subject (see http://doas-radiant.psu.edu/papers.html). Two of his publications were recipients of ASHRAE best paper awards. He has also received ASHRAE's Distinguished Service Award, the E.K. Campbell Award of Merit, and the grade of Fellow. Currently, Dr. Mumma is a member of several Technical Committees and the Society Publishing Committee.

Scot M. Duncan, P.E.
ROI Engineering

With 39 years of field, design and plant operational experience, the bio gets really long! We'll just bracket it to cut down on your boredom reading it…Scot started in the business at age 12 helping his dad install an early version of an automation system (the Honeywell Delta 2000 for you old guys) at the Irvine Company Newport Center high rise facilities. Since then, he has been involved in hundreds of successful and sometimes counter-intuitive energy efficiency projects. He is a "Subject Matter Expert" for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on 14 different topics, ranging from Net Zero Energy HVAC designs, to high efficiency dehumidification/reheat systems, to HVAC optimization to TES. Scot is a co-author of the International Energy Agency (IEA) ECBCS Annex 46 "Energy and Process Assessment Protocol" (soon to be on Oprah's "must read" list and a New York Times Best Seller wanna-be…).

Scot is a Past President of the AEE SoCal Chapter (1990) and is Vice President of Retrofit Originality Incorporated, and President of Enerliance. He has provided over 100 chiller plant, HVAC and TES energy efficiency and design strategy training seminars since 1985, and has not been booed off the stage even once that he'll admit to.

"Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems: Using the Load Based Optimization System to Massively Cut Demand and Energy Consumption."

Case studies and design and operation strategies will be presented on how the Load Based Optimization System (LOBOS) Energy Efficiency and Demand Response control systems helped to cut peak day demand for the Irvine Company by 7 MW (for free!), and cut cooling plant energy consumption by 47% at an Irvine Company site, 51% at Saddleback Church, 62% for a Pacific Gas and Electric site, 65% for a Macerich shopping mall, and over 71% for a San Diego Gas & Electric project at a U.S. Navy site.

The LOBOS Demand Response controller takes the hassle out of participating in the utility Demand Response programs, allowing you to work with aggregators or directly with the utility, while the LOBOS Energy Efficiency system helps to improve comfort and productivity, while helping to reduce energy consumption.

In addition to describing the LOBOS controllers, strategies such as "Variable Speed Everything" and Thermal Energy Storage using the "Large Temperature Differential" design will be discussed. Typical TES systems that were a part of the SCE "Permanent Load Shift" chilled water storage pilot program operated with 25°F to 30°F chilled water temperature differentials, while the PG&E site peaked out with a 44°F temperature differential (not a typo!), with typical summer operation floating between 30°F and 34°F TD's. The PG&E chiller plant all-in efficiency averaged around 0.50 kWh per ton-hour while making 35°F chilled water for the TES system during the TES charge cycle.

A preliminary analysis using all of the above strategies and an innovative dehumidification/ reheat system to treat 1,000,000 CFM of makeup air at a large chip fab yielded potential savings of over 27,000,000 kWh per year, and over 400,000 therms per year in gas savings.

Please join us for an entertaining and educational meeting!
