Seminar 50 (Intermediate)

Wednesday, June 30, 2010, 8:00 AM-9:30 AM: Ruidoso
Sustainable Opportunities for Justice Facilities
Chair: Richard Vehlow, P.E., Member, New York State Office of General Services, Albany, NY

Abstract: This program discusses sustainable opportunities for justice facilities. The needed aim of sustainable design is to produce places, products and services in a way that reduces use of non-nm2010able resources, minimizes environmental impact, and relates people with the natural environment. Sustainable technologies are technologies which use less energy, fewer limited resources, do not deplete natural resources, do not directly or indirectly pollute the environment, and can be reused or recycled at the end of their useful life. In the energy sector sustainable is based on utilizing nm2010able sources of energy such as solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy, geothermal and hydrogen.
1. Sustainable Opportunities in Jails and Prisons
Scott McMillan, P.E., Member, HDR, Dallas, TX
Movement towards sustainability has become popular in industry and considered good practice by ASHRAE. Applying LEED principles has been more difficult in some environments and building types, jails and prisons were among those considered more difficult. As heavy consumers of energy and water, this seminar will focus on ways to “green” jails and prisons that are looking to conserve resources and seek LEED certification.
2. Optimization of Energy Targets in Courthouses
Boggarm Setty, P.E., Fellow ASHRAE, Setty and Associates, Fairfax, VA
Paper presents optimization of energy consumption in buildings, beginning with conceptual stages up to construction document completion. Presentation also includes issues involved in reaching the projected energy consumption during construction and post construction. Optimization process includes orientation of the building's zoning, system selection to satisfy the needs of that particular zone; operational hours of various areas based on its function, which includes courtrooms, security areas, prisoner holding cells, data room and administrative areas.
3. Energy Efficient Design of a County Correctional Facility
Robert Cox, P.E., Member, Jacobs Global Buildings, Cary, NC
This presentation focuses on strategies to design correctional facilities to use up to 35% less energy through use of a variety of energy conservation strategies including VAV operation, OA Heat Recovery, and various control strategies including setback of delivery temperatures and use of dedicated outdoor air systems. The results are based on a case study of a retrofit of a County Correctional Facility which achieved the predicted energy conservation targets.

Seminar 59 (Intermediate)

Higher Efficiency in New and Existing Buildings
Wednesday, June 30 11:00-12:45: Aztec
Chair: Jeff J. Traylor, Member, EMCOR Government Services, Arlington, VA

Abstract: This seminar presents means and methods used to achieve higher energy efficiency in a laboratory, a college dormitory, and a historical government building.
1. Case Study Juniper Poplar Hall a 520,000 Square Foot College Dormitory
Carl N. Lawson, Fellow ASHRAE, Hanson Professional Services Inc, Maitland, FL
This is a 1,200 bed coed college dormitory with a mini market, kitchen and dining, with office and classrooms. It was occupied in August 2009. This facility was a new design for the university and it met many challenges and opportunities and for the most part they were accomplished, but not without some unforeseen obstacles that were overcome. In this seminar we will look at some of those obstacles and discuss how they were resolved.
2. Optimizing Energy Efficiency in a University Laboratory Facility
Robert Cox, P.E., Jacobs Carter Burgess, Cary, NC
This presentation examines the results of retro-commissioning and implementation of energy conservation measures low flow fume hood retrofit design, modified control strategies and use of heat recovery chiller heat pumps to reduce the energy consumption of a large university research laboratory by 45%.
3. Energy Retrofit in a Historical Government Building
Steve Nicklas, P.E., Associate Member, EMCOR Government Services, Arlington, VA
This presentation will discuss the approach to improve efficiency of the domestic and HVAC water heating systems, while meeting the requirements for reliability in a historical, high security government building

GOOGLE GROUPS FOR TC WEBSITES IS HERE!!

A google groups website for TC 9.8 has been created. Google groups is an fully interactive web application that will allow members to freely exchange papers, hold discussions, post photos and more. For security purposes, TC Google Groups membership is restricted to TC officers, voting members, corresponding members, liaisons, and ASHRAE Staff.

All members, corresponding members, and liaisons on the current TC email list distribution have been sent an invitation email. To join the Group, reply via the link in the invitation email. If you need a new invitation sent to you, go to: TC 9.8 Google Groups and follow the "apply for group membership" tab on the right toolbar. When replying, please provide your TC member status (voting member, corresponding member, ASHRAE liaison), your ASHRAE member number, and full name.
