Outline
1
Lighting and HVAC Control
  • Technical Discussion
2
Integrated Building Systems
  • Integrated building systems allow for the modification of an environment independently of environmental choices made by others
    • Environment consists of both lighting and temperature control
    • Integrated means HVAC & Lighting have a common control system and front end.
3
Meaning …
  • Mechanical zones integrated with lighting & day lighting zones are grouped together to meet client’s needs.
  • Modular lighting & HVAC control systems.
  • Modular ‘plug and play’ wiring connections
  • Central performance monitoring for energy.
  • Management and scheduled maintenance with automatic feed-back of activities.


4
Why Integrated Controls?
  • Provides sensible and efficient use of environmental systems
    • Savings of 50 to 75 percent by use of dimming ballasts and daylight harvesting and an estimated 10-15% HVAC savings when providing zone (air jets) control has been documented in pilot installations at PWGSC
    • Connecting integrated systems to a priority energy demand metering control would permit the building operator to minimize energy costs by buying energy at the best price in the upcoming deregulated energy market

Overview
7
Control Centre
  • Building Automation System controllers
  • ‘Plug and Play’ wiring system
  • BAS controllers are mounted in ‘Plug and Play’ boxes
  • Lights and temp controlled by BAS
  • Dimming via 0-10Vdc signal to ballasts


8
Controller
  • VLC 1188
    • 11 10 bit universal inputs
    • 8 Analog outputs
    • 8 Binary outputs
  • Fully programmable
  • Native BACnet
  • Communications through BACnet MS/TP network
9
"Plug and Play’"
  • Plug and Play’ wiring technology allows for easy modification to lighting/building controls


10
Electronic Dimming Ballasts
  • 1–10V Control
  • 100–1% Dimming range
  • PROStart programmed start ballast
  • Anti-flash circuitry—turns on in dimmed mode
  • UL, CSA, FCC
11
HVAC Control
  • Analog controlled 24 VAC damper motor
  • Damper increases/decreases air flow based on zone temperature and set point.
