Our ASHRAE season continues thismonth with a local flair, as we arefortunate enough to have our veryown Darryl Boyce as this month’sspeaker. Darryl is an ASHRAE Soci-ety vice-president, and representsthe OVC chapter well at ASHRAE’shigher levels. He will speak on a proj-ect that is very close to him, and Ithink will prove of great interest toour membership as well.

We are past the mid-point of thisASHRAE year, and it seems the timeas flown by. I know we’ve all re-turned from our break over Christ-mas, back to the grindstone and theweather is at its most miserable forthe year, but I encourage you to stillmake the time to attend our monthlymeetings. We have a continuing se-ries of top quality presentations foryou, and we will have more technicalsessions centered on mentoring inthe months to come as well. Thedays may be short and cold, but thecamaraderie of ASHRAE (and per-haps some libations found at the bar)can help warm you on a frigid Febru-ary night.

This past week I was fortunate to at-tend the ASHRAE winter meetingand AHRI trade show, as I havedone several times in the past. Ifyou have not yet attended either ofthese events, I strongly recommendthat you plan to next year. First, theevent is held in Florida in 2016, so Iwould expect any excuse to go wouldbe welcome, but beyond that theASHRAE winter meeting offers awide variety of opportunities that

don’t come about too often. First,there are several seminars andcourses to be attended for a verymodest cost, and you will inevitablyfind that there are many like-mindedprofessionals to discuss projects andideas with. Second, you are able tosit in on a variety of technical com-mittee and business meetings forASHRAE Society, and really get alook at the inner workings ofASHRAE. Perhaps by finding outmore about the “dark side” ofASHRAE, you’ll find something thatsparks a passion in you to volunteerat the society level. Ottawa is wellrepresented at Society with theaforementioned Darryl Boyce, RodPotter and others, but opportunitiesexist for participation with much lessdemand. There is also the AHRItrade show that occurs on the Mon-day through Wednesday of the wintermeeting. Being a manufacturer’srep, it is an excellent chance for us tocatch up with many of our manufac-turers at the same time, as well as achance to walk the floor of manythousands of booths to find out whatis new in the industry. While theamount of Chinese brass fittings canbe overwhelming, you’ll never find abetter opportunity to talk to themanufacturers of virtually every typeof equipment available, with the bestminds they have employed waiting tohelp you. It really offers perspectiveto what we do, and the vast array ofoptions that are available.

This month’s theme is ChapterTechnology Transfer Committee(CTTC). The OVC chapter has been

very successful in past years with avariety of projects that have wonawards for new and innovative de-sign. Dan Redmond is our currentCTTC Chair, and I encourage any-one with projects that are fitting, orwith questions about the applicationprocess to contact Dan. He will beincluding some information in thisCommunique, and it would be greatto see another strong turnout fromour local designers.

This month we will continue with our“mentorship” technical sessions. Thefirst one was very well attended, andseemed to be of value. The goal ofthese three sessions is to provide in-sight into some of the specific rolesthat are played in our industry, aswell as what is required to find em-ployment in those roles as well.While these are geared towards jun-ior people in the industry and stu-dents, I would encourage moresenior people to attend, as we wantto encourage discussion and variouspoints of view.

In closing, I hope to see you all warmand safe at February’s meeting.

Capital Communiqué February 2015

The fourth meeting of the programyear took place at the RestaurantInternational at Algonquin Col-lege. The meeting was called toorder by President Steve Moons at6:28PM and attendees were seated.

The business session commencedwith President Steve Moons intro-ducing the Board of Governors andExecutive, followed by Adam Gra-ham introducing the guests for theevening and giving a preview of theupcoming part 2 of the hydronic sys-tems design seminar. There wereseveral students in attendance andwe would like to thank everyone thatdonated a student meal to help makethis possible. Adam Moons wel-comed new members.

Georges Maamari introduced theevening’s theme of research andgave an overview of where thesefunds go when you donate. Thankyou to all that have made a donationto support ASHRAE Research.

Table top displays were introduced asfollows: The Aaon and Semco tabletop display was introduced by An-drew Douma of Total HVAC. TheMunters table top display was thenintroduced by EI Solutions followedby Master Group introducing BKM.

During the social hour, the researchpromotion committee raffled off 4tickets to an Ottawa Senatorsgame. The tickets were graciouslydonated by Airtron, raising moneyfor ASHRAE Research. AndrewDouma was the lucky winner.

Following the business session, at-tendees enjoyed an excellent seateddinner.

Next, the evening program com-menced at around 8:10PM withSteve Moons introducing thespeaker. Paul Pieper of Venmargave a background on himself andintroduced his presentation onUnderstanding and EvaluatingAir-to-Air Energy Recovery Tech-nologies. Paul is heavily involved inthe dark side of ASHRAE, along withother organizations such as AHRI,etc.

The speaker then went through sev-eral recent changes to ASHRAEstandards concerning energy recov-ery. Several concepts were intro-

duced and a quick highlight of the in-formation is given below. For moreinformation please see the ASHRAEOVC website for a copy of the pres-entation.

ASHRAE Std 62.1-2013

5.16.2 Redesignation Class 1,2,3,4(class 4, shall not be recirculatedwith class 1 air)

Exception: Mixing class 2 air up to10%, class 3 air up to 5% whenusing energy recovery.


6.5.6.1 Last year with single ratingpoint for energy recovery.

50%min effectiveness on all sys-tems above 5000cfm with 70% ormore OA.

90.1 effectiveness does not includemass flow rates (traditional calcula-tion does)

AHRI Std 1060 net effectiveness in-cludes EATR (exhaust air transferratio). Next version of 90.1 to in-clude for this.


Breaks down into climate zones asto min OA% where energy recoveryis required.


Includes continuous and non-contin-uous ventilation (above or below8000h/yr).

ASHRAE 189.1

Increases minimum effectiveness ofenergy recovery to 60% but doesnot yet include continuous vs. non-continuous ventilation.

ASHRAE Std 84-2008

Standard for testing energy recov-ery. Baseline for AHRI 1060. Not aratings program.

AHRI 1060

Defines terms used in new effec-tiveness calculation:

EATR (exhaust air transfer ratio):Ratio of tracer gas concentrationdifference between leaving supplyand entering supply and the differ-ence between entering exhaust andentering supply as a percentage.

OACF (outdoor air correction factor):Entering outdoor airflow/leaving sup-ply airflow

Factors affecting EATR and OACF

Fan placement and differential pres-sures.

DT (supply), DT (exhaust) minimizesOACF, reasonable EATR

BT (supply), DT (exhaust) maximizesOACF, minimizes EATR

Combined Efficiency (CEF) – appli-cation EER for 100% OA unit

CEF = Net cooling delivered/totalelectrical power consumed.

This is the energy recovery metricendorsed by AHRI.

AHRI Guideline W – Selecting, Siz-ing, and Specifying Packaged AAERV.

Various methods of energy recoverywere introduced along with associ-ated frost control, condensation po-tential and other considerations. Itwas noted that one should alwayssize based on frost control supplytemps and not assuming energy re-covery that will not really take place.Proper filtration is critical when im-plementing energy recovery. Thespeaker suggested that MERV 8 issufficient for protecting most energyrecovery devices. ASHRAE Std 90.1allows you to deduct static pressureof heat recovery device and filters.

The speaker followed with a discus-sion of when to consider or discountcertain types of energy recovery.

The speaker completed his presenta-tion at 9:05PM. A copy of the pres-entation will be available on the OVCwebsite shortly. Following the pres-entation, Paul opened the floor up tosome questions. President SteveMoons then thanked the speakerand presented him with a gift. Themeeting was adjourned at approxi-mately 9:10PM.

Greetings Everyone!

Getting the right advice early in yourprofessional development can saveyou time, money and ensure you arenot wasting your effort. ASHRAE hasa range of mentorship opportunitiesdesigned to help you avoid commonpitfalls. Mentorship and business ad-vice may be general or specific de-pending on your needs andrequirements. Many of our membershave grown successful companies inour industry and are able to offer awealth of information in many areas.

How can mentoring help you andyour professional life?

Avoid the mistakes most com-•monly made by professionals intheir early years. Learn fromothers’ mistakes and successes.A mentor’s role is to share withyou lessons from their own ex-perience so that you can benefit

without having to learn frompainful trial and error.

Stay focused on what is most•important for your growing ca-reer. Mentors assist you in iden-tifying what steps will have thegreatest positive impact on yourcareer, and help prioritize an ac-tion plan.

Mentors provide a sounding•board. When you’re startingyour professional life, oftenthere’s no one to turn to for ad-vice or direction. You’re on yourown. Everybody needs a goodreliable sounding board, a sec-ond opinion, and someone whooffers positive support.

Expand your knowledge net-•work. Your mentor, being expe-rienced in the industry, is likelyto have an extensive network,and can offer you access toother senior decision-makers.

I would also like to introduce andwelcome the following new member:

Mr. Stephen J HarrisonMr. Yue Ma

Whether you specialize in IAQ, greenbuilding, tools and applications or re-frigeration, ASHRAE has researchprojects focused on your field andthe specific topics that affect you andyour business the most.

At the January meeting, we raffledoff 4 tickets to the Ottawa vs Car-olina game that were generously do-nated by Airtron. These ticketshelped raise $470 towards ASHRAEResearch. The hockey raffle willcontinue at the February meeting. Asof January 28th, we have raised over$12,100.00 towards our campaigngoal, which means we are at 49% ofour $25,000 objective. With theamazing support that we have re-ceived to date, we are right on trackof meeting our RP campaign objec-tive. Our RP committee will likelystart the calling campaign within thenext few weeks, so please have yourcheck book ready! I would like tothank our donors to date for the2014-2015 RP Campaign.

CHAPTER/REGIONAL TECHNOLOGY AWARD APPLICATION

SHORT FORM

(Revision June 2014)

INTRODUCTION:

This Short Form has been developed to stimulate more participation in chapter and regional competition. This form is

not intended to replace the full Society Technology Award Application form. Regional winners using the short form will

be required to complete the full Technology Award Application form before their applications can be forwarded for

Society Competition. (This form does not require extensive narrative, plans or photographs.)

INSTRUCTIONS:

A. The individual submitting the Technology Award Application must be a current member of ASHRAE who had a significant

role in the design or development of the project.

B. Complete the "Short Form" and use it as the cover page.

C. Provide a system schematic/diagram not larger than 11” x 17” in size. In addition, attach a brief narrative (maximum of 2

pages). The narrative should include the gross and net building areas applicable to the project, a description of the major

building areas (i.e.,operating rooms, laboratories, computer rooms, industrial processes, offices, warehouses) and a brief

discussion regarding the following five criteria ( if a criterion is not applicable, state accordingly):

• Energy Efficiency

• Indoor Air Quality

• Innovation

• Operation & Maintenance

• Cost Effectiveness

• Environmental Impact

D. Submit your schematic, brief narrative, and completed form to your Chapter Technology Committee Chapter (CTTC) Chair for

judging at the chapter level in accordance with their instructions.

E. The ASHRAE Technology Award program is intended for built projects. First place winning projects should be eligible for

submission to the Society level competition on September 1st of the following Society calendar year. Therefore, a project

submitted to a Chapter or Regional competition shall be occupied prior to September 1st of the current Society year in order

satisfy the proceeding Society level competition requirement of one full year of occupancy.

First place winners in each category from chapter competition will be submitted by the CTTC Chapter Chair to the CTTC

Regional Vice Chair for judging in the Regional Technology Awards competition. At the discretion of the CTTC Regional

Vice Chair, this may require completion of the full Society Technology Award Application form if the chapter submission was

done on the Short Form Application.

The CTTC Regional Vice Chair will invite first place winners in each category from regional competition to submit them for

judging in the Society level Technology Awards competition. The regional winners will be given the opportunity to

incorporate new information or otherwise improve their submittal before submitting it to the society level competition (e.g., by

addressing comments from regional judges). At the discretion of the judging panels at the chapter and regional competitions,

more than one first place winner may be awarded in each category.

For the regional competition, submit the number of copies requested by the Regional CTTC Vice Chair. The CTTC Regional

Vice Chair may require entries into the regional competition to be done on the full Society Technology Award Application

form. In any case, all submissions to the Society level competition must be done on the full Society Technology Award

Application form.

F. It is highly recommended that each entrant confirm by letter (and retain a copy for record) to the owner that the owner has

granted permission to submit this project to competition.

NOTE: ASHRAE Technology Awards are the HVAC&R industry's most prestigious honor for efficient energy use in buildings and environmental

system performance. While the awards do not certify responsible charge or professional license status, they do recognize outstanding design

innovation and successful implementation.
