 Roof Support Pressure Control Systems Description
General System Overview
Introduction:
When the Stadium was built in 1983 there was one system in place to control building
pressure. This system included 8 fan rooms, with two 100,000 cubic foot per minute
constant speed fans for a total of 16 fans. The control system includes two separate
subsystems receiving their measured pressure input from a static pressure transducer
located in the main Honeywell panel.

1. INTAKE CONTROLLER
The intake controller is an electronic controller interfaced to a pneumatic system
controlling outside air and return air dampers in each fan room. (Except Fan Room #4
which only draws in outside air and has electric intake (outside air dampers) Stadium
pressure is controlled by varying the ratio of outside air coming into the stadium and
return air coming from within the building. If the pressure increases, the system will start
closing the outside air dampers and opening the return air dampers to reduce the building
pressure. If the pressure drops, the system will start closing the return air dampers and
opening outside air dampers to raise the building pressure.
2. RELIEF CONTROLLER
The relief controller is a separate electronic controller with set point adjustment that is
interfaced pneumatically and electrically to control a series of relief dampers located on
the Level 4 and the Level 5. When the building pressure rises over the set point, the
relief controller will send out a pneumatic and electric signal to open up these relief
dampers. The system is a staged system that opens more dampers as the output signal
rises. The relief damper control panel is located in the rear of the control room to the
right of the Main Control panel. This panel gives the status of the relief dampers and also
allows the operator to both turn on manually individual relief dampers and also to
disengage or cut off the signal to each damper bank in the case of a system malfunction.

While in operation, this system will control the building pressure around the set point of
250 pascals. The pressure control signature is such that there will be overshoots and
undershoots above and below set point of MINIMUM 50 Pascals. These over/under
shoots are inherent in a pneumatic (air) control system and are caused by delays inherent
in pneumatic systems. The advantages of the constant speed fan operations is to
maximize air movement, maximize amount of fresh air brought into the building and to
maximize both heating and cooling effects. The disadvantages include less precise
building pressure control and increased operating costs (more power consumption)
compared to ASD fan operation.

1993 CONTROL SYSTEM UPDATE

In 1993 the stadium in partnership with B.C. Hydro Power Smart and the B.C. Buildings
Corporation, undertook an upgrade of the existing building control system. The old
Honeywell delta 1000 computer control system was upgraded to an Energrated DDC
(direct digital control) system and four Constant speed fans were converted to Adjustable
 Speed Drives (ASD). These ASD fans were now capable of being directly controlled by
the Energrated DDC system

ASD Controller operation:

When ONLY ASD fans are in operation, the system controls stadium building pressure
by varying the speed of the fans. When this system is in operation, the "outside air"
dampers are opened to 100%. When the pressure rises above the set point, the computer
system will send an electronic signal to the ASD fans causing them to slow down and
thus reducing the amount of outside air that they bring into the stadium. This will result
in a reduction in the building pressure to maintain the set point value. As the stadium
pressure drops below the set point, the computer system will then increase the speed of
the ASD fans resulting in an increase in the amount of outside air they bring into the
building. This will result in an increase in building pressure to maintain the set point
value.
The overall result is very precise pressure control and also the ability to react very
quickly to any disturbances in building pressure caused by operation of large airlock
overhead doors and other sources of air loss within the building.
When this system is in operation the overall air circulation in the stadium is reduced and
because the ASD fans operate in the lower portion of their power curve, they are more
efficient and use less energy then the constant speed fans that are operating at 100% all of
the time.

COMBINED CONSTANT SPEED FAN/ASD FAN OPERATIONS

Depending on operational requirements, the two independent control systems can be

operated together, combining the simultaneous operation of both Constant speed fans
controlled by the pneumatic pressure/relief control system and the ASD Fans controlled
by the Energrated DDC computer system.
In general this mode of operation is used when there is increased vehicle traffic operating
inside the stadium ( show move-ins/out, Turf conversions) to try to mitigate the effects of
pollutants generated by the operation of internal combustion diesel, gasoline and propane
engines inside the stadium while at the same time having more precise pressure control.

The ESC computer graphic titled "pressure controls" gives the real time status of both the
ASD pressure set point and the Remote set point value for both intake and relief
controllers.

For a building pressure set point of 250 Pa, the ASD set point and the Constant speed
Intake controller set point are set to 250 Pa and the Relief Controller is set 50 Pa higher to
a value of 300 Pa. These set point changes are made by the operator on the "Pressure
Controls" graphic on the ESC computer.
The reason for this offset is to prevent the Relief controller from interacting/interfering
with the operation of the ASD Fans. In effect, by raising the set point on the relief
controller 50 Pa higher, the relief system is "isolated" and the relief dampers will only
begin to open if the pressure rises above 300 Pa.

 CONTROL ROOM PROCEDURES

Relief Damper Operation - Description

The relief damper system consists of the RELIEF PRESSURE CONTROLLER, the
RELIEF DAMPER CONTROL PANEL and 16 BANKS OF RELIEF DAMPERS.
The relief dampers are located on both level 4 and 5 with 8 banks in each of the 8 areas
on level 4 and 8 banks in each of the 8 areas on level 5.

The relief dampers are primarily controlled by the Relief pressure controller located on
the main control panel. In normal combined ASD/Constant Fan operation, the set point
for the relief controller is set 50 Pa higher than the Intake pressure controller. If the
building pressure increases and goes above the set point the controller will send out an
electronic signal and begin opening relief damper banks. The signal to the dampers is
electronic and therefore the response is very quick.

The Relief damper control panel consists of sixteen, 3 way control switches with
settings of HAND, OFF, AUTO. ( see photo). In normal operation the switch is in the
"auto" position and the dampers receive their control signal from the ESC computer
Controller. When the selector switch is moved to the OFF position, the electronic signal
to the dampers is CUT OFF, and the damper bank controlled by the switch will close.
The off position is used mainly to close the damper bank in the case of a
system/equipment malfunction.
If the selector switch is turned to the HAND position, the computer signal is bypassed
and the damper bank will fully open.

This panel is re-created in graphic form on the ESC computer terminal. The physical
Relief Damper Control Panel should only be used in Emergency situations or for
maintenance and testing functions. The reason for this is that if the physical selector
switches are in either the OFF or HAND position, the computer cannot override the
switch selector if the system called for damper banks to be either opened or closed.

IMPORTANT: The operator should only use the Pressure Controls graphic to make
control changes. As an example:
The operator is setting up for harmful emissions procedure that requires two Level 5
relief damper banks to be opened. The operator would go the Pressure Controls graphic.
Right click on the damper selector switch and select "manual on" for each of the damper
banks. The damper banks will open and the status indicator will turn orange indicating
damper open.
IF there is a drop in pressure, the computer can now automatically close the two damper
banks opened manually by the operator on the computer. If the operator had used the
physical switch, the computer would not be able to override the physical switch setting
and the only way to close the damper bank would be for the operator to go to the rear
panel and physically turn the switch back to AUTO.
 Control Room Procedures

Partial Roof Panel Inversion

Strong winds or heavy snow may cause a partial roof panel inversion. In the case of a
partial panel inversion, only a portion of the diamond or rectangualar roof panel will be
inverted.

Procedure for partial inversion caused by High wind speed:

1. Increase the building pressure set point manually to 300 Pa if the High wind speed
sensor has not done this automatically.

2. Do not over pressurize the building. Keep the pressure as stable as possible around
300 Pa.

3. Contact the Control Room supervisor as soon as possible

Procedure for partial inversion caused by heavy snow accumulation:

1. Ensure the snow melt system is activated and operational as per snow melt mode
procedures.
2. Ensure that the building pressure set point is set at 300 Pa. (this should have been
done automatically when the snow melt system is activated)

3. Contact the control room supervisor immediately

4. Lower the main speaker cluster to the ground by following emergency procedure
#xxxx located in this manual.

5. If the accumulation of snow is as a result of partial or total failure of the snow melt
system; or if the snow storm is severe enough that the snow melt system cannot prevent
snow accumulation on the roof: Increase the building pressure set point manually to
the maximum pressure of 350 Pa.

6. Monitor the partially inverted panel visually. The application of full snow melt heat
and the increase in pressure should be enough to melt the snow and cause the panel to
pop out to it's normal profile.
 CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY PROCEDURE:
Lowering of Main Speaker Cluster to reduce roof loading

Purpose of procedure: This procedure is to be used in emergency situations only!

In the event of excess roof loading due to snow/ice accumulation on the roof or other
sources of excess loading of the roof, the main speaker cluster can be lowered to the
ground to reduce the roof loading at the west end of the stadium roof.

The winch controls for the main speaker cluster are located in the audio booth on Level 3,
Section 7. The speaker cluster has two normal positions. The first is football mode -
high position 45 meters and the second is trade show mode - low position 15 meters.
The winch control has an override to allow the speaker cluster to be lowered below the
pre set positions.

1. Obtain the Audio/Video key from the control room key cabinet. Key #15 or #21

2. Proceed to the Audio/Control Booth located in Room #7, Media B, Level 3, Section 7.
The speaker winch controls are located in this room at the top of the main audio
equipment rack. (Left hand side of room next to the patch panel)
3. Press green "power on" button. The red power indicator will light up.

4. Turn Winch mode selector switch to "Hand" position. The "hand" indicator light will
turn on.

5. Turn "auto limit override" key switch clockwise to the "on" position.

6. Turn the selector switch located to the right of the key switch to the down position.

7. The speaker cluster will now begin to descend. Lower the speaker cluster all the way
to the floor and keep the switch engaged until you see the cables go slack. At this point
the speaker is now isolated from the roof and is not contributing to the roof load.

8. Observe the speaker cluster and ensure that there is no movement and that the cables
remain slack. This is to ensure that the speaker is not "floating" and fully secure on the
floor.

10. Return to the control room. If time permits, use one of the PTZ security cameras to
monitor the speaker cluster and ensure that the roof elevation has not increased causing
the speaker to swing or become weighted to the roof. Carry on with any other emergency
procedures as required.
Note: The speaker cluster should not be raised until the rigging, cabling and winch
assembly has been inspected and cleared for use by a qualified technician.
 CONTROL ROOM PROCEDURES

REVOLVING DOORS: Wing collapsed

If the control room is informed of a collapsed door wing, request Maintenance staff to do
the following:

1. Lock or secure door if possible

2. Hold on to outer edge of collapsed wing. Push or pull the wing until it clips back into
the normal position.

3. If the glass is cracked or shattered, lock up the door and isolate it from public use until
it is repaired.

4. Report to the Duty Supervisor and have door repaired as soon as possible.

Note: If maintenance staff are not on shift, Security or another staff member will have to
try to perform this procedure.

The reason for this offset is to prevent the Relief controller from interacting/interfering
with the operation of the ASD Fans. In effect, by raising the set point on the relief
controller 50 Pa higher, the relief system is "isolated" and the relief dampers will only
begin to open if the pressure rises above 300 Pa.

Partial Roof Panel Inversion

Strong winds or heavy snow may cause a partial roof panel inversion. In the case of a
partial panel inversion, only a portion of the diamond or rectangualar roof panel will be
inverted.

Procedure for partial inversion caused by High wind speed:

1. Increase the building pressure set point manually to 300 Pa if the High wind speed
sensor has not done this automatically.

2. Do not over pressurize the building. Keep the pressure as stable as possible around
300 Pa.

3. Contact the Control Room supervisor as soon as possible

Procedure for partial inversion caused by heavy snow accumulation:

1. Ensure the snow melt system is activated and operational as per snow melt mode
procedures.
2. Ensure that the building pressure set point is set at 300 Pa. (this should have been
done automatically when the snow melt system is activated)

3. Contact the control room supervisor immediately

4. Lower the main speaker cluster to the ground by following emergency procedure
#xxxx located in this manual.

5. If the accumulation of snow is as a result of partial or total failure of the snow melt
system; or if the snow storm is severe enough that the snow melt system cannot prevent
snow accumulation on the roof: Increase the building pressure set point manually to
the maximum pressure of 350 Pa.

6. Monitor the partially inverted panel visually. The application of full snow melt heat
and the increase in pressure should be enough to melt the snow and cause the panel to
pop out to it's normal profile.
 Control Room Procedures

Total Roof Panel Inversion

Total panel inversion is usually caused by excess loading of the roof due to heavy snow
accumulation. Although snow abatement procedures are in place, it is possible due to
system failures or severe storm conditions for snow to accumulate on the roof and cause
panel inversion.
If a panel inversion occurs, it will more than likely be at the west end of the roof in the
region of the main speaker cluster. If panel inversion has occurred, the roof is close to
the critical loading threshold.

Procedure:

1. Ensure the snow melt system is activated and operational as per snow melt mode
procedures.
2. Ensure that the building pressure set point is set at 300 Pa. (this should have been
done automatically when the snow melt system is activated)

3. Contact the control room supervisor immediately

4. Lower the main speaker cluster to the ground by following emergency procedure
#xxxx located in this manual.

5. Ensure that all airlock doors both inner and outer are closed and inform all
departments to have all doors closed and secured.
6. Manually increase the building pressure set point to the maximum allowable 350 Pa.
 CONTROL ROOM PROCEDURES

Compressed Air Supply for the pneumatic control system: Overview

Compressed air for the Roof Support System is supplied by 4 compressors. These
compressors consist of 2 primary compressors located in level 1 Electrical Room #2 at
section 11 and Electrical Room #6 located at Section 38.
The two back-up compressors are located at the entrance to Fan Room #5 and Fan Room
#8.

The primary compressors supply 60-80 PSI compressed air to a main air line that feeds
each of 8 Control panels located at the entrance to the fan rooms as well as the central
control panel located in the Control Room. Each control panel has a two pressure
reducing valves that regulate the pressure between 18 and 20 PSI.

The supply of compressed air to the system is essential for operation of the Roof Support
systems. Compressed air is used to open and close a majority of Fan room dampers and
with the exception of Fan Room #4, roof support fans will not operate if the supply of
compressed air is cut off.

Fan Room #4 uses electrically operated dampers and supplies 100% outside air. This fan
room does not have recirculation capability.

The ESC (Energrated) control system monitors the status of all compressors as well as
the pressure of the air supply.
If a compressor fails, the secondary compressors will activate when the pressure drops
below 60 PSI.
 CONTROL ROOM PROCEDURES

Relief Damper Operation - Description

The relief damper system consists of the RELIEF PRESSURE CONTROLLER, the
RELIEF DAMPER CONTROL PANEL and 16 BANKS OF RELIEF DAMPERS.
The relief dampers are located on both level 4 and 5 with 8 banks in each of the 8 areas
on level 4 and 8 banks in each of the 8 areas on level 5.

The relief dampers are primarily controlled by the Relief pressure controller located on
the main control panel. In normal combined ASD/Constant Fan operation, the set point
for the relief controller is set 50 Pa higher than the Intake pressure controller. If the
building pressure increases and goes above the set point the controller will send out an
electronic signal and begin opening relief damper banks. The signal to the dampers is
electronic and therefore the response is very quick.

The Relief damper control panel consists of sixteen, 3 way control switches with
settings of HAND, OFF, AUTO. (see photo). In normal operation the switch is in the
"auto" position and the dampers receive their control signal from the ESC computer
Controller. When the selector switch is moved to the OFF position, the electronic signal
to the dampers is CUT OFF, and the damper bank controlled by the switch will close.
The off position is used mainly to close the damper bank in the case of a
system/equipment malfunction.
If the selector switch is turned to the HAND position, the computer signal is bypassed
and the damper bank will fully open.

This panel is re-created in graphic form on the ESC computer terminal. The physical
Relief Damper Control Panel should only be used in Emergency situations or for
maintenance and testing functions. The reason for this is that if the physical selector
switches are in either the OFF or HAND position, the computer cannot override the
switch selector if the system called for damper banks to be either opened or closed.

IMPORTANT: The operator should only use the Pressure Controls graphic to make
control changes. As an example:
The operator is setting up for harmful emissions procedure that requires two Level 5
relief damper banks to be opened. The operator would go the Pressure Controls graphic.
Right click on the damper selector switch and select "manual on" for each of the damper
banks. The damper banks will open and the status indicator will turn orange indicating
damper open.
IF there is a drop in pressure, the computer can now automatically close the two damper
banks opened manually by the operator on the computer. If the operator had used the
physical switch, the computer would not be able to override the physical switch setting
and the only way to close the damper bank would be for the operator to go to the rear
panel and physically turn the switch back to AUTO.
In this mode of operation, the ASD control system by default, takes on the roll of primary
pressure control. The reason for this is that the ASD system is very quick to respond to
either an increase or decrease of pressure from set point, and the constant speed pressure
controller because of its slow speed will only respond to larger pressure changes

Pressure Balance Door Damage

If the latch on a pressure balance door is damaged or fails, stadium pressure will cause
the door to open causing a drop in building pressure. Single door failures will not cause a
significant problem as the building pressure control system will compensate for the air
loss and maintain pressure. If multiple doors are damaged or fail, then additional fans
may have to be started.

1. Send East Airlock security to investigate the door damage. The door should be
secured until either temporary or permanent repair can be made. Ask Security to try and
secure the door using two-by-fours and nylon rope obtained from the carpentry shop if no
maintenance staff are on shift.

2. Report damaged door to the control room supervisor and the Maintenance supervisor.

3. Monitor stadium pressure closely and add an additional roof support fan if required.
