September 2013 - Educational Seminar

Hoy R. Bohanon, Jr., P.E

Application of Standard 62.1-2013 – Multiple Spaces Equations & Spreadsheets (2 PDH)

 Applying ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2013 to multiple spaces can be challenging even for advanced HVAC practitioners. This new, advanced course covers the new Appendix A method and focuses on using the new spreadsheet from the 2013 Users Manual. The subject material includes both constant volume and VAV applications, and certain cases are examined where secondary recirculation applies. The course intent is to develop proficiency in using the spreadsheet tool for improving design solutions that will comply with the 2013 Standard. A copy of the spreadsheet will be provided and attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their laptops to learn the spreadsheet’s power and the effect on total outdoor air required when changing different design parameters. In-class exercises will be conducted, so attendees will benefit from using their own laptops.
