Building Energy Management Systems
Comparison to HVAC Design course
-
Focus on systems
For large buildings and building complexes
More analyses based than just design
More independent project
Geared towards grad students
Course Objectives:
• Learn about advanced building energy and environmental
control systems.
• Obtain knowledge about district cooling and heating systems.
• Gain the skills and tools necessary to evaluate integration of
sustainable energy production systems to a given building site.
• Study application of combined heat and power systems in a
specific building or group of buildings.
• Conduct thermal, hydraulic and economic modeling of
integrated building energy systems for planning and design
Prerequisites
•
Graduate students in CAEE, or other engineering
fields. Student should have at least one Fluid
Dynamics course and at least one Thermodynamics
course. HVAC Design course is desired but not
necessary. Undergraduate students interested in this
course will need permission from the instructor

Questions ?
Review – Example problems
• Thermodynamics (cycles)
• Heat pump example
• Psychrometrics:
• Swimming pool dehumidification
Focus on various operation conditions (not just design
condition)
Heat pump example
A recreation center
Swimming pool
Condenser
Heat Pump
Evaporator
Ice Rink
30oF
85-89oF
Rejects heat energy
Consumes heat energy
Electric power
for a compressor
Ice Rinks
Energy flow
Swimming pools
Energy flow
Challenges for this problem
• Circulating fluid
• Adjustment of evaporation and condensation
temperatures
• Adjustment of capacity for design condition
• Control of capacity for non design conditions
• Need to study load profiles
• Design sophisticated control
• Provide backup system
Example of capacity profile
(building cooling demand)
