Water Conservation
Minimizing the use of water for cooling in data
centers meets not only economic and operational
objectives, but sustainability ones.
We are having many new conversations about
saving water with customers. A recent survey of
engineers we conducted reveals more than half believe
pumped-refrigerant economization will be the No. 1
technology replacing chilled-water systems over the
next five years.
Large air-handling systems, such as indirect evaporative-cooling systems, are saving water. New epoxycoated aluminum heat exchangers with relatively large
surface areas allow for high levels of dry-effectiveness.
This means a unit can achieve a desired supply-air
temperature while remaining in dry operating mode
for a relatively long time, minimizing or eliminating the
need for mechanical or evaporative cooling.

As vice president, North America marketing, thermal management, for Emerson Network Power,
provider of critical-infrastructure technologies and life-cycle services, John Peter
JP Valiulis is responsible for evaluating
new technologies and developing highly
efficient and reliable controls and product
solutions for mission-critical applications.
Conclusion
As with most technology evolution, data centers will incorporate
more advanced technologies at a
lower cost than was possible just a
few years prior. The result will be
superior functionality, more productive and efficient environments,
and happier customers.

The strong case for doing nothing. In health-care HVAC, there are
big questions, questions to which
we do notand may neverhave
complete answers:
How relevant are HVAC variables (outside-air ventilation rate,
total room ventilation rate, supplyair filtration, room air pattern, room
pressure) to disease transmission
or infection rates in health-care
occupancies?
In what rooms or spaces can
HVAC variables affect disease
transmission or infection rates?
What specific disease-transmission or infection rates can HVAC
variables affect?
The problem is not that we dont
have answers to these questions; it
is that our codes and standards represent that we do. Two generations
of architects and engineersmyself among themlearned that air
changes, pressures, and filters are
bedrocks of health and safety. Such
traditions are not easily shaken.
Codes and standards are written
by us. They both reflect and transmit
our shared beliefs from year to year.
Of course, code changes are notoriously slow. Increasing requirements

acute-care projects. Outpatient projects are being designed for very low
energy use competitive with the best
commercial designs.
Code groups are working on
solutions as well. In early 2015, one
independent group convened to
coordinate across clinical standards
and clarify operating protocols.
In late 2015, another independent
group started to investigate alternative health-care HVAC design methods. Smaller teams are coordinating
between domestic standards.
There are a few examples of netzero or near-net-zero hospitals.
More are to come. The examples to
date, however, are a bit opportunistic; there has been investment in renewables, but no deep reductions in
consumption. A new HVAC toolkit
would open the door to lower consumption, more net-zero hospitals,
and a greener health-care-building
sector.

Chiller plants typically are operated at a set point
between 42F and 46F, which usually is adequate to
maintain relative humidity below 60 percent at a temperature of 68F or greater. At the lower room-temperature
set points of ORs, which can be below 60F, humidity
control is difficult without extensive dehumidification,
and dehumidification is energy-intensive.
For ORs, the desired temperature typically is 60F to

Case Studies
A 475-bed, 700,000-sq-ft hospital in the Southeastern
United States. This facility was constructed in the mid1960s, when requirements for and the functionality of
surgical suites were quite different from today. Whats
more, procedures often were taking place from very
early in the morning until late in the evening.
The facility specializes in heart-related procedures,
which often are lengthy operations. While comfort is
critical for all ORs, heart-focused ORs add a level of complexity because of the size of the medical staff needed for
many procedures. Also, the medical equipment required
to properly supply these spaces is larger than that used
in a standard OR. So, staff density and equipment intensity have significant impact on both sensible and latent
loads.
This hospitals ORs had seen little significant upgrade
or retrofit over their first four decades. The infrastructure of the ORs was significantly below current
standards, lacking the level of ventilation necessary to
provide code-compliant space pressurization. Previous
attempts to modify the HVAC systems had been minimally successful compared with what was needed. A
single AHU served multiple ORs. Additionally, adequate
reheat was lacking.
This hospitals ORs had a chronic problem with high
relative humidity. The institution implemented a solutionincluding Type 3 desiccant energy recoverythat
reduced relative humidity from above 65 percent to 52
to 54 percent at a comfortable set point of 62F to 64F.
During the upgrade, the chiller plants set point was
increased from 39F to 42F, a change that benefited
the entire facility. The increase reduced the cost of
producing chilled water by approximately 5 percent.
With an energy-reclaim-and-recovery strategy, the
initiative improved chiller-plant capacity by correcting

Understanding differences
between air-filter technologies
and performance-rating methods
By NATHAN L. HO, PE
P2S Engineering Inc.
Long Beach, Calif.
Air quality is key to achieving acceptable indoor
environments. With so many air-filter technologies
and performance-rating methods, it is essential design
engineers and operating personnel understand the
differences between them to make fully informed
decisions regarding air-filtration strategy. This article
discusses recent research into filter performance and
shares insights that can be gleaned from that research.
Nathan L. Ho, PE, is a mechanical engineer specializing in HVAC- and control-system design with a focus on performance
and efficiency. His experience includes design, engineering, construction administration, commissioning, and project
management for an extensive range of facilities, including laboratories, data centers, high-performance commercial
buildings, and utility plants.

metrics included:
Atmospheric dust-spot efficiency, a measure of a filters ability
to remove atmospheric dust from
test air (percent).
Arrestance, a gravimetric measure of a filters ability to remove
synthetic dust from test air (percent).
Dust-holding capacity, determined by the product of the quantity of synthetic test dust fed to a
test filter and its average arrestance
(grams).
Dust-spot efficiency and arrestance are averaged over the course
of a dust-loading procedure. Dust
loading is used to simulate the
collection of dust on a filter over
a controlled period of time for the
purpose of generating normalized
test data. The ASHRAE Standard
52.1 test procedure specifies a
synthetic mixture of fine test dust
and cotton linters.
In 1999, ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 52.2, Method of Testing General Ventilation Air Cleaning Devices
for Removal Efficiency by Particle
Size, was published. ANSI/ASHRAE
Standard 52.2 presents air-filtration
performance in terms of minimumefficiency reporting value (MERV).
The testing methodology for determining an air filters MERV include:
Running test air through a highefficiency-particulate-air filter with
air temperature and humidity controlled before test contaminants are
injected into the air upstream of the
air filter being tested.
Measuring filtration efficiency
over 12 discrete ranges of particle
size (Table 1).3
Reporting initial filtration efficiency in lieu of average filtration
efficiency.
The tighter the control of testair quality, the higher the degree
of precision in testing air filters.
