High Efficiency Energy Recovery for Healthcare
and Laboratories
Sponsor: 5.5 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
Track: High Efficiency HVAC Systems
Chair: Gregory Dobbs, Ph.D., Member , United
Technologies Research Center, East Hartford, CT
Air-to-air energy recovery on ventilation air
is enjoying increasing acceptance for many kinds
of high-performance buildings. This session concentrates
on the healthcare/laboratory area where occupancy
is continuous and cross contamination not permissible.
Technologies are introduced (e.g., twin towers,
runaround loops) that meet the special needs of
this high energy intensity application area. The
sensible/latent heat requirements for the hot
and dry climate area are discussed.
1. Case Study: Increased Energy Efficiency
in the Operation of Health Care Facility (Hospital)
through the Use of Twin Tower Air to Air Enthalpy
Recovery System
Stan Slabinski, Kathabar Dehumidification Systems
Div., Niagara Blower Co., Somerset, NJ
Healthcare facilities require long operating
hours and no exhaust recirculation. Tight control
is needed for both temperature and humidity. Energy
recovery can help reduce this high cost if cross
contamination is avoided. The twin tower liquid
desiccant approach provides total enthalpy recovery
(sensible and latent) heat recovery from remote
make up and exhaust air streams with out the chance
of cross contamination, with 90% plus bacteria
removal from both air streams and greater than
60% total heat recovery. A hospital case study
will be presented.
2. Runaround Loops for Healthcare and Laboratories
Ronnie Moffitt, P.E., Member, Trane, Inc., Lexington,
KY
Hospital and Laboratories require a significant
amount of outside air. The exhaust air often has
contaminants which require it to be far removed
from the ventilation air path making energy recovery
difficult. Coil recovery loops can be utilized
to recovery some of this exhaust energy back to
the ventilation air. This seminar will look how
efficient coils can be used to recover energy.

Enhanced Dehumidification Strategies with Energy Recovery in Hot Humid Climates
Sponsor: 5.5 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
Track: Humidity Control
Chair: John T. Dieckmann, Member, TIAX LLC,
Cambridge, MA
Energy recovery ventilation saves energy in any climate having significant space
heating and/or space cooling loads. In humid climates where the humidity content of
ventilation air makes up a large part of the latent cooling load, energy recovery
also greatly improves humidity control, by reducing and stabilizing the humidity
load that the air conditioning system must handle. The presentations show how and
the extent to which energy recovery improves humidity control and how energy recovery
can improve the economics of space conditioning and humidity control in a hot, humid
climate.

How to Design Energy Recovery Systems to
Comply with 90.1, 189.1P and LEED®
Sponsor: 5.5 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery
Track: Sustainability
Chair: Gregory M. Dobbs, Ph.D., Member, United
Technologies Research Center, East Hartford, CT
Recovering energy from conditioned ventilation
air using a preconditioner is a key part of the
strategies in the ASHRAE Green Guide and Advanced
Energy Design Guides. Achieving improved IAQ by
admitting additional ventilation air as is required
by LEED and evolving standards such as 189.1P
will make energy recovery even more necessary
due to the associated energy conservation requirements.
To achieve the energy recovery desired the companion
conditioning equipment must be rightsized given
the climate zone, building type and outside air
fraction. This seminar presents some design approaches
and local case studies for two important building
classes for the Chicago area.

United Technologies Corporation, East Hartford,
CT
Greater use of air-to-air heat exchang-ers
for energy recovery from ventilation air is of
increasing importance in green and sustainable
buildings where improved IAQ and energy conservation
are conflicting requirements. When used with properly
sized HVAC equipment, HRV’s and ERV’s can enable
the system to achieve an effective EER that is
up to 30% higher than that of the equipment alone.
Matching the effective system SHR to the conditioned
space latent and sensible loads also leads to
improved humidity control. This seminar addresses
system concepts that remain underappreciated by
the sustainable design community.

for Sustainable HVAC Systems?
Sponsor: TC 05.05 Air-to-Air Energy
Recovery
Moderator: Bede W. Wellford, Member,
Enthalpy Consulting, LLC, Newry, ME
Energy recovery ventilation is one
of the key equipment solutions to providing efficient
and sustainable HVAC&R systems, which also
meet the standards for outside air, occupant satisfaction,
health and humidity control. TC 5.5 has focused
on removing barriers to the use of the technologies.
However, it is the sense of the committee that
energy recovery is underutilized. The forum provides
an opportunity to understand (from the perspective
of the practicing engineer and building designer)
what drives the use of energy recovery in an application
and what can prevent or preclude its use.

The need to develop effective HVAC&R
strategies to protect building occupants against
the threat of chemical-biological warfare (CBW)
is often seen as having a priority over making
those same buildings energy efficient. This forum
explores whether hybrid, 100
percent outside air systems can effectively reduce
the threat of CBW without paying an energy penalty
to do so. In other words, can a building's HVAC&R
system be designed to protect its occupants and
still be energy efficient and sustainable?

Energy recovery from kitchen exhaust
is not common despite its attractiveness for heating
the makeup air and/or domestic water. The grease-laden
characteristic of exhaust from cooking presents
a technical and a local code challenge for the
installation of energy recovery equipment. Although
one manufacturer of kitchen ventilation equipment
developed a heat recovery module, successful installations
have not been documented. Similarly, engineered
systems have been anecdotally reported for institutional
kitchens in northern climate zones. Feedback from
the design community on the potential for heat

The cost of installing air-to-air
energy recovery systems is often calculated without
accounting for costs savings from downsizing heating
and air-conditioning equipment. When these avoided
costs are considered, air-to-air energy recovery
is often a low-cost or no-cost energy saving measure.
Conversely, inappropriate application of air-to-air
energy recovery (e.g., using sensible rather than
total heat recovery in hot humid applications
or not downsizing air-conditioning) may create
problems without providing anticipated benefits.
Speakers present case studies demonstrating costs
and benefits.

ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2001 contains
requirement for use of energy recovery. For example,
“individual fan systems that have both a design
supply air capacity of 5000 cfm or greater and
have a minimum outside air supply of 70 percent
or greater of the design supply air quantity shall
have an energy recovery system with at least 50%
recovery effectiveness.” Since this requirement
was initiated in 1999, there is some application
history. What approaches (successful or with problems)
have engineers used in meeting this requirement?

The need for energy recovery ventilation equipment
to resolve inherent conflicts between outdoor
air ventilation requirements and energy conservation
efforts has never been greater. The market and
application of these technologies is growing and
engineers are being called upon to understand
and specify appropriate devices in their designs.
HVI’s residential program began in 1985. In January
of 2001, the ARI Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Ventilation
Equipment Certified Ratings Program and its directory
were launched. The experience and the information
available are highlighted and outlined for engineers
wishing to take advantage of the latest and best

Hospitality venues, specifically large casinos,
are unique among commercial establishments in
North America today with respect to indoor air
quality, partly because smoking is generally permitted
in most such venues. Casinos are service-oriented
establishments where the comfort of smokers and
nonsmokers is essential to financial success.
This seminar presents specific case studies of
large casino projects in two challenging climates.
Innovative design approaches to meeting stringent
owner requirements are presented, along with the
results of performance monitoring. These successful,
real world examples point the way forward for
design of buildings that meet high IAQ standards.

Crossover between the exhaust and supply air
is measured and analyzed for a commercially available
energy wheel with typical sliding seals on the
rotary wheel faces and perimeter. It was found
that a purge section could reduce, but not eliminate,
carryover of exhaust gases to the supply due to
wheel rotation only when the supply air pressure
is greater than the exhaust. Increasing pressure
differences between the supply and the exhaust
decreased the ventilation air flow rate compared
to the maximum supply side flow rate. This reduction
was much larger for a wheel with a purge section
than one without.

Wei Shang and Robert Besant, P.E., Fellow,
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, SK, Canada
In the paper the outlet air flow properties are
measured for a typical rotary energy wheel. It
was found that the air temperature, humidity,
and velocity are non-uniform in both the radial
and angular directions adjacent to the outlet
air faces of the wheel. Depending on the operating
conditions and over the supply and exhaust outlet
faces, the variations in temperature ranged from
2 to 6 degrees Celsius or .10 to .55 of the inlet
temperature difference, variations in the relative
humidity ranged from 7 to 15%, and variations
in the velocity ranged from 1.0 to 2.8 m/s or
.38 to 1.2 of the average velocity.

The findings for non-uniform outlet flow properties
in Part 1 were used to devise a simple method
of in situ testing of rotary energy wheels in
HVAC applications. This method uses only data
taken at one angular position for the supply and
exhaust outlets. Using these data, the resulting
calculated effectiveness are within 5% for sensible,
7% for latent, and 5% for total effectiveness
of the standard test method results. A set of
steps for in situ performance testing of energy
wheels is presented and discussed.

ASHRAE Standard 62 sets minimum ventilation rates,
which building occupants would like to increase.
ASHRAE Standard 90.1 limits energy use, and owners
would like to see lower energy and capital costs.
Air-to-air energy recovery is a proven technology,
which when properly applied, can help designers
meet or exceed the conflicting demands to ventilate
more, use less energy, improve humidity control
in hot humid climates and reduce HVAC system cost.
This seminar provides guidance on effective application

ASHRAE's revised Standard 90.1-1999 mandates
the use of energy recovery whenever the amount
of outside air is above 70% of total system air.
However, even higher energy efficiencies than
those stipulated by ASHRAE Standard 90.1 can be
achieved when energy recovery is incorporated
in a new building system. This forum provides
an opportunity to discuss the issues regarding
the barriers (technical? institutional?) as well
as the opportunities to broader application of

As more buildings are being upgraded
to meet the ventilation requirements of Standard
62-89, existing HVAC Systems are often unable
to handle the additional loads imposed by the
increased ventilation air. Trying to satisfy this
additional load using traditional systems can
also have a negative impact on the energy efficiency
requirements imposed by Standard 90.1. Thus the
engineer is faced with the challenge of designing
systems that can simultaneously meet the requirements
of the two standards. This seminar presents three
case studies demonstrating how innovative designs
are being used to solve this apparent conflict
between Standard 62-89 and 90.1.

In this paper, controlled laboratory experiment
and a detailed numerical model are presented which,
together with uncertainty analysis, can quantify
the performance of energy wheels. A numerical
model that has been developed form physical principles
and an experimental method for determining the
performance of energy wheels with acceptable uncertainties
are detailed. Included is a pre-test, during-test
and post-test uncertainty analysis that allows
the experimenter to estimate accurately precision
(random) and bias (fixed) errors. A comprehensive
set of measured data for the sensible, latent
and total effectiveness of an energy wheel is
compared with the corresponding simulation results
in Part 2.

Experimentally measured and numerically simulated
performance data is presented for an energy wheel
operating in a wide range of conditions for mass
flux, temperature and humidity. Both the simulated
and numerical results show that the three effectiveness
values (I.e., sensible, latent and total) are
unequal and each has its own unique sensitivity
to operating conditions. Simulated results with
the numerical model show that experimental result
measured sensible effectiveness by up to 7%. The
proposed method of determining energy wheel performance
is to validate a detailed numerical model with
a range of accurate experimental data and then
use the model to predict performance for other
operating conditions.

Results from recent studies in the

designed to project an environmental friendly
image. A key issue was energy efficiency with
British pubs consuming more energy than hospitals
and health care facilities. Because new pubs are
rare and traditional pubs more successful, the

a demonstration project in which 68 pubs were
refurbished to embody energy efficient technologies.

APC Liaison: Robert Suggs
Moderator: Donald R. Fisher, P.E., Member,
Fisher Consultants, Danville, California
The key to controlling a smoking environment
is to provide enough ventilation for the space
and efficiently direct the air over the smoking
area. Naturally, when you increase the amount
of outdoor air for ventilation, your heating and
cooling loads are greater which in turn increases
the building's operational costs. Restaurants
and bars are searching for cost effective retrofit
solutions to their problems. Do ASHRAE engineers
have the right tools to design smoking areas cost
effectively? Can a cost effective solution result
in 'acceptable' indoor air quality?

Moderator: Lawrence C. Hoagland, Ph.D.,
P.E., Member, Airxchange Inc., Rockland, Massachusetts
The coming deregulation of electric utilities
is already shrinking marketing and demand side
management programs, eliminating many utility
rebates for installation of energy conservation
equipment. Will these developments impact the
installation of ventilation energy recovery equipment?
Have DSM Programs been a factor influencing the
specification and purchase of ERVs? How much did
DSM programs impact use of ERVs? Will the shift
from utility DSM programs to "Shared Savings Programs"
and to "Custom Energy Programs" by private companies
actually help promote ERV installation? What information/tools
could these programs require in order to better
utilize the ERV "resource"? This forum will stimulate
a discussion of these issues at a time when utility
deregulation is just being launched.

Seminar 45
Wednesday, January 29, 1997, 10:15 AM - 12:15
PM
Topics in Air to Air Energy Recovery
Sponsor: TC 05.05 Air-to-Air Energy
Recovery
Chair: Kirk Mescher, P.E., Associate
Member, CM Engineering, Columbia, Missouri
APC Liaison: Art Hallstrom
Various applications of energy recovery
technology are discussed. The presentation of
design, installation and operational experiences
with various forms of air to air energy recovery
systems will aid the practitioner in applying
energy recovery techniques. The topics are wide
ranging, however, methods of complying with ASHRAE
Standard 62-1989 for ventilation and indoor air
quality without oversizing the mechanical system
and paying for it in operational costs lay at
the foundation of each speaker's talk.
