Redwood Empire ASHRAE December 3rd Chapter Meeting
Redwood Empire ASHRAE is pleased to invite you to the December 3rd Chapter meeting featuring guest speaker Mr. Jim Megerson. Please see below for the presentation abstract and speaker's biography.
Topic: Under Floor Air Delivery Commissioning, Troubleshooting and Design Considerations Overview
UFAD Commissioning, Troubleshooting and Design Considerations
Overview:
Presentation content will include the idiosyncrasies associated with Underfloor air distribution (UFAD) that engineers, contractors and operators need to be aware of so that obstacles to a successfully operating system can be avoided. UFAD systems are highly integrated with other services and more closely coupled with the building structure than compared to traditional overhead mixing air systems. This inherent quality of UFAD systems demands an integrated and collaborative approach when working on these types of projects. This seminar will address issues that arise when designers treat UFAD projects similar to an overhead mixing system during design, construction and balancing. This seminar aims to discuss past experiences and easy steps a design and construction team should take from as early as the design stage to the commissioning, balancing and completion of a project to create optimized UFAD systems in future buildings.
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe typical design issues unique to UFAD systems and how they affect commissioning, troubleshooting, test and balancing as compared to traditional overhead ducted systems.
2. Describe typical troubleshooting issues unique to UFAD systems and how they affect commissioning as compared to traditional overhead ducted systems.
3. Explain how design engineer can include design features and requirements to make testing and balancing of UFAD systems more effective.
4. Describe HVAC control strategies appropriate for UFAD systems
5. Describe typical test and balancing issues unique to UFAD systems and how they affect commissioning, troubleshooting, test and balancing as compared to traditional overhead ducted systems.
6. Describe typical construction issues unique to UFAD systems and how they affect commissioning, troubleshooting, test and balancing as compared to traditional overhead ducted systems.
Jim is a licensed professional engineer with over 25 years of experience in the design and construction of building systems for commercial, institutional and industrial facilities. He earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Missouri.
Jim focuses his efforts on sustainable design, system diagnostics and commissioning. He is a member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and the founding Co-Chair of the USGBC-Greater Kansas City Chapter. In addition, Jim is past President of the Kansas City ASHRAE Chapter and principal-in-charge of projects winning national and regional ASHRAE technology awards for energy efficiency.
Jim has been the principal-in-charge of many sustainable projects including Green Circles Shopping Center (LEED Platinum), Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines Call Center project (LEED Gold), Chevron Gulf Operations Center (LEED Gold), Intellicenter Riverside, CA (LEED Gold), KU Endowment offices (LEED Silver), Timber Creek Elementary (LEED Silver) and Dell/ Perot Headquarters campus (LEED Silver) to name a few.
Jim believes every building should be designed, built and operated as sustainable as possible. He uses innovation and creativity to develop sustainable solutions for clients with the goal of optimizing the results for their specific requirements. He attempts to minimize the effect of the built environment on the natural environment while creating functional spaces to live, work and play.
Specialties: Jim has extensive experience applying displacement ventilation and underfloor air distribution systems to over 30 million square feet in a variety of different building types. He has authored several articles and is a frequent presenter at national conferences on the importance of indoor air quality and energy-saving opportunities associated with these systems. Other related interests and experience includes building system forensics, commissioning, building automation and systems integration.
