Control basics
• Typically components have a setpoint, i.e., operating functional objective,
• Under computer control, the HVAC system uses active components to maintain the setpoint.
• Active components can be regulated by the control system (e.g., damper 0 – 100% open)
• Rules “tell” control system how to reach setpoint.
• Control system has input sensors and output control signals
– control signals regulate the active components

Active beams
• Active components: Cold and hot water valves, air flow damper
• Temperature control– Occupied temperature setpoint is adjustable by the user +/- 3F
– Unoccupied setpoints cooling: 78F heating: 65F
– Control cold and/or hot water valve of active beam to achieve temperature setpoint
– Temperature deadband of +/- 2F
– User override button to extend occupied hours by 2 hours
• Air flow control– Air flow is constant (on during occupied hours (basement 24/7),
off during unoccupied hours)
– CAV boxes modulate flow to achieve constant air flow during occupied hours only, except during night setback and warmup(compensating for different air pressures)

Radiant floor
• Active components: Pump and valve
• Off if outside air temperature > 78F
• Otherwise– Turn on pump
– To reach steady state:• Increase valve position by 10% (every 10 min) until
temperature setpoint of 71F is met
• Decrease valve position by 5% (every 10 min) until temperature setpoint of 71F is met
– After reaching steady state• Adjust valve position by 1% (every 10 min) only
• During unoccupied hours setpoint = 66F

Fan coil units
• Active components: chilled water control valve
• On 24/7
• Temperature control:
– Modulate chilled water valve to achieve temperature setpoint if space temperature is above setpoint
– If two spaces are controlled by one unit, use higher temperature

Chilled water system
• Active components: Control valve and booster pump
• Normal operation: Valve is used to control differential pressure to setpoint (if not enough booster pump helps out)
• If water return temp < 58F (for > 5 min) reset down differential pressure setpoint
• If water return temp < 55F (for > 5 min), start pump and recirculate water– If water supply temp < 48F go back to normal

Tempered chilled water system
• Active components: Two pumps
• On/off speed control– Lead/lag operation (weekly)
– Pumps are controlled to meet differential pressure setpoint • lead pumps first
• If pressure difference to small lag pump starts in addition
• If both are running slow (< 25Hz), turn off lag pump
– Pumps should be off during unoccupied hours (expect overrides)
• Temperature control– Maintain supply water temperature at 60F by opening and closing
control valve
• Supply Temp Reset (to prevent condensation on active beams)– If outside dewpoint temperature > 58F
-> supply temperature setpoint = dewpoint temperature + 2F

• Temperature control– Maintain supply water temperature at 180F by
opening and closing value 1 (1/3 of flow) and valve 2 (2/3 of flow)

-> cooling coil bypass damper closed and cooling coil valve modulates to achieve setpoint
