Special lecture On Current State of Building Operations and How to Improve: by Dr Srinivas Katipamula, PhD, Fellow ASHRAE & ASME (18 Feb at 1530 hrs)

-
Dear all,
Greetings !
We are pleased to invite you to be part of the special lecture scheduled on 18 Feb at 1530 hrs at IIIT Hyderabad. The Centre for IT in Building Science is organising this particular lecture with the extensive support of ASHRAE Deccan Chapter & ISHRAE Deccan Chapter.
Programme sheet is enclosed herewith for your ready reference.
Dr Srinivas Katipamula is an imminent speaker from PNNL and would present on "Current State of Building Operations and How to Improve". Dr Srinivas would also cover the role of Operation and Maintenance Practices in building energy efficiency. 
It would be an excellent lecture on buildings energy efficiency, hence, we request your participation and circulation of the invitation letter to all those who are working in the areas especially HVAC, Buildings, Energy, and Environment. 
Following would be discussed during the lecture:  
  • Improving operating efficiency of commercial buildings
  • Role of advanced building controls 
  • Automated fault detection and diagnostics
  • Building operations and building-grid integration
  • Transaction-based controls for commercial and residential buildings

Abstract:
Commercial buildings account for almost 20% of the total U.S. energy consumption, and 10-30% of the energy used in commercial buildings is wasted because of improper and inefficient operations. However, commercial buildings in India consume nearly 8-10% energy of the total. While sophisticated energy management and control systems are used in large commercial buildings to manage heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems and components, these controls in commercial buildings may enhance energy efficiency if equipment are properly commissioned, operated, or maintained.
This lack of proper operation and maintenance leads to inefficiencies, reduced lifetime of equipment, and—ultimately—higher energy costs. The presentation would highlight the current-state-of building operations in the US; show potential savings opportunity; show how automated software platforms can help alleviate the problem, improve efficiency and ensure persistence in building operations.  The presentation would also include discussion on how the same technology can be applied to building in India.
Brief Bio of the speaker:
Srinivas Katipamula is a Staff Scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). Dr.Katipamula received his Ph.D. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Texas A&M University.
 
For over 25 years, Katipamula’s career has focused on improving the operating efficiency of commercial buildings.  Prior to joining PNNL, he led the analytics group at the Enron Energy Services (EES).  At PNNL, Dr.Katipamula leads a number of research projects in advanced building controls, automated fault detection and diagnostics, building operations and building-grid integration. His major responsibilities include development of transaction-based controls for commercial and residential buildings to make them more grid-responsive. He is also responsible for many Grid Modernization Laboratory Consortium Category 2 research topics related to this area. He is currently leading a multi-campus research and development effort on Clean Energy and Transactive Campus. He also manages all the application development of an open source software platform – VOLTTRON™.

Programme Duration: 15:30 to 17:30 + High Tea (Registration starts at 15:15 onwards)

What is adaptive thermal comfort ?

-
Image
Overview Field studies of thermal comfort have been conducted intensively at various climatic locations to define the range of acceptable thermal environment for air-conditioned and naturally conditioned buildings that led to the development of Adaptive Thermal Comfort (ATC) model.  Research on adaptive thermal comfort revealed a higher range of acceptable temperatures, which depend on climate, building type, behavioral controls, and other similar factors. Field studies have also revealed the role of thermal adaptation to conserve energy in air-conditioned buildings, and this concept is also useful for building design, and operation of naturally conditioned buildings as per the outdoor conditions.  Higher bandwidth of comfort temperature and energy conservation opportunities encouraged researchers to carry out intensive field studies of thermal comfort to propose robust adaptive thermal comfort model. Definition Adaptive principle states that if a change occur...

ISO 7730 for Thermal Environment Evaluation

-
ISO 7730 is an International Standard for 'Ergonomics of the Thermal Environment-Analytical Determination and Interpretation of Thermal Comfort Using Calculation of the PMV and PPD and Local Thermal Comfort Criteria’.  ISO 7730 illustrates methods to evaluate the general thermal sensation and the degree of discomfort for occupants exposed to moderate thermal environmental conditions. This Standard grouped the thermal environment into three different categories namely  Category-A,  Category-B and  Category-C  All there  categories  are described with the help of Table given below.  Category-A describes narrow comfort conditions, whereas Category-C prescribes wider comfort bandwidth (-0.7 < PMV < +0.7). The Standard describes the calculation of PMV and PPD indices for thermal comfort and for local discomfort. The Standard also defines the local clothing habits for indoor comfort and but does not provide information for cl...

EN 15251 for Energy and Thermal Environment Evaluation

-
Comfort standard EN 15251 (version released in 2007) is entitled to ‘Indoor environmental input parameters for design and assessment of energy performance of buildings–addressing indoor air quality, thermal environment, lighting and acoustics.’  The Standard EN 15251 deals with energy performance of buildings as well as indoor environment quality such as thermal environment, indoor air quality, acoustic comfort, and visual comfort conditions to provide more comfortable indoor climate and that is also energy efficient.  Previous research  (Nicol & Wilson conducted study in 2010)   has examined that EN15251 Standard helps building designers to optimise the building energy consumption, considering thermal, air quality, acoustic and visual comfort. Furthermore, studies carried out under SCATs (Smart Controls and Thermal Comfort) research project reveal that this Standard involve  only   European countries for energy and comfort evaluation. SCAT s...
