FEBRUARY LUNCH MEETING - How to Get Started with an Energy Efficiency Survey
21-01-2010 20:50 Matthew Rowe

Topic: JUST DO IT! How to Get Started with an Energy Efficiency Survey by ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer Hank Jackson

Date: February 10, 2010
Time: 12:00 Noon Meeting - 1:30 PM
Location: Ramada Inn, 1520 Blue Ridge Rd. Raleigh

Cost: $25.00 for Lunch

Introduction: Tony Lewis will provide the Triangle Chapter with an update on Progress Energy's Energy Efficiency for Business Program.  Get up to speed on the program at: http://progressenergy.com/custservice/carbusiness/efficiency/programs/eebiz/details.asp.

Main Presentation: This session is designed to help building owners, operators, and engineers perform on-site energy efficiency surveys with more confidence and accuracy.  Specifically, this course is directed toward the on-site inspection and critical assessment of heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; refrigeration systems; lighting systems; compressed air; and motor applications typically found in buildings and process facilities. Attendees will receive a qualitative understanding of design and operation considerations for common systems and will learn site survey techniques to help them gather the information needed to evaluate the costs and benefits of a variety of energy-efficiency improvements.

Speaker: ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer, Hank Jackson, owner and principal of ETech Solutions, has provided technical training and consulting services in the energy efficiency marketplace since 1979.  He holds a Bachelor of Aerospace Engineering (1974) and a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering (1978), both from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia.  Originally registered in Georgia, Mr. Jacksons currently practices in North Carolina. Mr. Jackson served as director of the Georgia Industrial Energy Extension Service program at the Georgia Institute of Technology prior to entering a private consulting practice.  During a five year hiatus from consulting (1999 – 2005), he was department chair of Mechanical Engineering Technology at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College in Asheville, North Carolina.

JANUARY MEETING - NC Senate Bill 668 & ASHRAE 90.1
04-01-2010 09:56 Matthew Rowe

Topic: “Summary of NC Senate Bill 668 Requirements (High Efficient Buildings) and Energy Modeling per ASHRAE 90.1-2004 – Appendix G”

Date: January 13, 2010
Time: 6:00 PM Happy Hour, Meeting: 7:00 PM
Location: NCSU McKimmon Center

Cost: $30.00 for Dinner & Drinks

Presentation: Ginger Scoggins will enlighten us on State Senate Bill 668. This bill requires that new and renovated State Buildings over 20,000 sq. ft. be required to reduce energy consumption by 30% (new) and 20%(renovated) over the ASRHAE 90.1-2004 baseline building criteria per Appendix G requirements. This seminar will also discuss other requirements of the State Senate Bill. Ginger’s presentation will include commissioning, water reduction, and advance planning. In addition, Ginger will address Energy Modeling and Life Cycle Cost procedures that are required by the State for submission of a Senate Bill 668 compliant project. This will be followed by an open question session. We can guarantee increased knowledge of State Senate Bill 668 after attending this presentation.

Speaker: Ms.Ginger Scoggins, PE, LEED AP is the President of Engineered Designs, Inc., a full-service plumbing, HVAC, and electrical design firm in Raleigh. She is a licensed mechanical engineer with over 20 years of experience in the design and construction of a variety of building types throughout the State. She is a long-standing member of American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) which works to promote a sustainable world. She has served in numerous positions and chaired several committees in the ASHRAE organization, as well as having presented technical sessions on sustainable design and energy modeling using ASHRAE Standard 90.1 Energy Standards for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. Her company was instrumental in achieving the first LEED-CI Platinum project in North Carolina and has been able to achieve Silver and Gold statuson several other projects. Ms. Scoggins now serves on the State of NC Energy Advisory Committee which was formed to provide an implementation path for the 2007 Session Senate Bill 668, requiring all major State project to perform 20-30% better than
ASHRAE 90.1 requirements.

Presentation:
The EPA stated in its report to Congress “During the past five years,
increasing demand for computer resources has led to significant growth in the number
of data center servers, along with an estimated doubling in the energy used by these
servers and the power and cooling infrastructure that supports them.” In a typical
data center for every watt of energy used by computer equipment another watt is used
to cool it. In this presentation we will learn about 2008 ASHRAE Environmental
Guidelines for Datacom Equipment, and the ASHRAE Datacom Series, a series of eight
publications, that provides a comprehensive treatment of datacom cooling and related
subjects. We will learn about the metrics used to measure data center HVAC efficiency.
And we will see how HVAC energy used by a typical data center can be reduced by 80%.
The presentation will conclude with a tour the new NetApp Data Center.
This 125,000 sq. ft. facility has over 3,600,000 cfm of AHU capacity and a chilled
water system totaling 12,200 tons.

Speaker:
Joe Miller: Joe joined NetApp in 2006 with 20 years of HVAC and control experience.
Shortly after arriving he was instrumental in developing a unique Patent Pending
data center cooling strategy for NetApp. As Manager of Facilities Operations,
Joe is also responsible for the day-to-day facilities operations of NetApp’s RTP site.
He was very active in the design, construction, and commissioning of the new data center
as well as the office facilities. The comfort cooling and building automation Joe designed
for the newest NetApp RTP office building is predicted to easily achieve an Energy Star Rating
for efficiency.

Triangle Chapter ASHRAE Meeting, September 9th, 2009 - NCSU McKimmon Center
07-09-2009 22:50 Matthew Rowe

Welcome all to the new 2009-2010 Triangle Chapter ASHRAE Year. I am excited about the coming year and serving the membership as Local Chapter President. Please feel free to send me a note and let me know what we can do to better serve you all. This is going to be a great year! Details on the first Chapter Program of the year are below. I hope you all can make it.

Balance Today for a Greener Tomorrow

Date: Wednesday, September 9, 2009

Time: 5:30pm - 6:30pm Social Hour; 6:30 - 8:00pm Meeting

Location: NCSU - McKimmon Center

Cost: $30.00 (Cash or Check Only)

Presentation: 2009-2010 ASHRAE Society President Gordon Holness has made a call to ASHRAE membership to start thinking about our existing buildings. There are way too many inefficient buildings existing today. In fact, if every new building going forward were designed as net zero, we would still only impact 15% of the building marketplace by the year 2030. So, what do we need to do? In this presentation, we will learn about flow balancing methods that can help existing buildings perform better and thus save the owner money. We will learn about flow balance and impeller trimming methods that are required by the North Carolina energy code. We will also review the balancing products that are in the marketplace and discuss the application differences in these products. Some of the devices covered will be circuit setters, automatic flow devices, and pressure independent flow devices.

Speaker: Chris Edmondson: Chris serves as President of James M. Pleasants Company, Inc. He is a 1967 graduate of North Carolina State University where he received his B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering. Chris has over forty years of experience in our industry, specializing in fluid handling systems and products. He has served many years in the ASHRAE organization, holding positions like North Peidmont Chapter Secretary, North Peidmont Chapter President, and Region IV Director & Regional Chair.
