b. Architectural modifications required
c. Structural modifications required
5. Complexity of system
6. Difficulty of maintenance
a. Service assistance from manufacturer

3
b. Parts availability
7. Reliability from past experience
8. Durability from past experience
9. Installation time required
The most suitable system will be identified for each prevalent type of existing classroom
building.
Please be aware that the performance and maintainability is dependent not only on just
system type and manufacturer but also on the system design and installation. The
installation arrangement of each system will be clearly defined in the report.
The following building types will be included:
1. Single story building of wood or metal frame construction with single loaded corridor and
sloped roof. The finger schools, two room bungalows, re-locatable classrooms and
portable classroom buildings have similar envelope configurations and thus similar
thermal performance. They will be grouped under this category and studied together for
energy performance.
2. Two story building of concrete construction with double loaded corridors and flat roof.
The concepts for multistory buildings will be similar.
Typical HVAC system layout drawings for each system will be provided.
The following HVAC systems will be included:
1. Rooftop Packaged Gas / Electric Units
2. Rooftop Packaged Heat Pumps
3. Split gas electric systems (Gas furnaces with outdoor condensing units. Report only. No
energy studies will be made as this is not going to be installed in the future.)
4. Split system heat pumps
5. Variable Refrigerant Flow Systems
6. New Generation of wall mounted heat pumps
7. New Generation of indoor cabinet type heat pumps
8. 4 pipe fan coil units with air cooled chillers and gas fired boilers
9. Chilled beams with dedicated outdoor air systems
A technical comparative statement will be provided so that the significant information can be
compared conveniently at a glance.

The following related studies that were previously done for LAUSD will be attached as
references:
1. HVAC Systems Acoustical, Cost and Energy Study, June 6, 2005
2. Duct Free Split System Heat Pumps as Alternative for Wall Mounted Heat Pumps
In existing classrooms, March 21, 2005
3. Measured Classroom Sound Levels, May 30, 2005
The information in the above studies will not be repeated in the current study.
The reference studies are directed more towards new construction whereas the emphasis of the
current study is on existing facilities.
Methods
Energy Use and Cost
Energy use estimations will be done with EnergyPro Version 5.1 software. The calculations will
be done for each building type with each of the eight HVAC systems.
Each building will be rotated with the front facing eight different directions and the load
calculations will be done for each direction. The worst case will be chosen as the basis of the
study. Since two building types, a 2 story classroom building and a 2 classroom bungalow, are
to be studied, a total of 16 different EnergyPro calculations will be made as the first step to
determine the orientation with the highest cooling load.
The input data for the highest load orientation of each building type will be then used to
simulate the annual energy use with each system type studied as the second step. A total of
16 different EnergyPro calculations will be made for each climate zone. Energy use
estimations will then be done for each system for the three prevalent local climate conditions in
the areas served by LAUSD, the coastal, central LA and valley regions. A total of 48 different
EnergyPro calculations will be made for step two.
Energy cost estimations will be done using both LADWP and SCE rate structures. The
resulting energy costs will be tabulated and presented in the technical comparative statements.
This requires an additional 48 EnergyPro runs.
A total of 112 EnergyPro calculations are made for this report.
With reference to the ASHRAE 90.1 User’s Manual, energy cost budget calculations are only
intended to provide a fair method of comparison between different designs and systems but
not to predict actual energy consumption as variations such as occupancy, maintenance,
weather conditions, etc. may differ widely.

5
Installation Cost
Installation cost will be based on the schedule of values of recently completed similar projects
in the Los Angeles area in the last 5 years, as the cost of the architectural, structural, electrical
and plumbing improvements are also required to be taken into consideration. The costs vary
widely for the same type of system due to differences in building type and configuration,
asbestos abatement, quality of the construction documents, etc. The values used are average
values filtered through our best judgment.
Equipment budget cost quoted by the manufacturers and overall mechanical system cost
based on the 2012 Means Cost Data will also be included as reference.
The cost for the wall mounted heat pump will not include the architectural, electrical and
structural. The reason is the study is based on the assumption that a wall mounted heat pump
already exists and it is to be replaced because it is old and the replacement unit will not require
structural, electrical and architectural modifications. This is only true for Bard who has an
adaptor curb. We have this assumption stated in bold on item 4 of the conclusions on page 11.
Payback Calculations
The calculations will be simple payback.
Example follows comparing Wall Mounted against a Rooftop Unit in the Valley:
Energy Cost per Sq. Ft. Per Year with Rooftop Unit = $ 2.13
Area of studied classroom = 840 Sq. Ft.
Energy Cost per sq. Ft. Per Year per classroom = $ 2.13 X 840 = $ 1789.2
Energy Cost per Sq. Ft. Per Year with Wall Mount = $ 2.33
Area of studied classroom = 840 Sq. Ft.
Energy Cost per sq. Ft. Per Year per classroom = $ 2.33 X 840 = $ 1957.2
Energy Cost Savings Per Year Per Classroom = $ 168
Cost of roof top unit installation per classroom = $ 32,000
Cost of wall mount unit installation per classroom = $ 14,000
Additional cost = $ 18,000
Payback years just on energy savings = 18,000 / 168 =107.1 years
If it is a new installation, the cost of the wall mount could increase to $ 24,000. Then the
payback will be 8,000 / 168 = 48 years.

6
Maintenance Cost
Reliable maintenance cost data for different systems is not available in the industry. The ease
of maintenance on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the easiest, derived from the opinions of
manufacturers, installers and service personnel will be used as a means of comparison. The
manufacturer’s service manual will be used as an indicator of the difficulty of service.
Complexity of Installation
The ease of installation on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the easiest, derived from the
opinions of manufacturers, installers and service personnel will be used as a means of
comparison. The manufacturer’s installation manual will be used as an indicator of the difficulty
of installation.
Complexity of Operation
The ease of operation on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the easiest derived from the opinions
of manufacturers, installers and service personnel will be used as a means of comparison. The
manufacturer’s operation manual will be used as an indicator of the difficulty of operation.
Indoor Environmental Conditions
All the systems included can accommodate MERV 8 efficiency air filters and also maintain the
indoor temperature comparatively well but air distribution effectiveness and expected indoor
sound levels differ. The latter will be used to compare indoor environmental conditions.
Aesthetics
Both indoor and outdoor visual obtrusiveness will be reported in either drawing or pictorial
format. A scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the least objectionable derived from the opinions of
school personnel, architects, manufacturers, installers and service personnel will be used as a
means of comparison.
Reliability and Durability
A scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most reliable or durable, derived from the experience and
opinions of installers and service personnel will be used as a means of comparison.
Construction Duration
The time to install a complete system including architectural and structural upgrades will be
used as a means of comparison. The labor costs from the Means Cost Estimation Handbook
will be provided as a reference.
The recorded construction durations also tend to vary widely for the same type of system due
to differences in building type and configuration, asbestos abatement, quality of the
construction documents, management, etc. The values used are average values filtered
through our best judgment.

Conclusions
1. The VRF type systems are found to have the lowest operating cost.
2. The split system heat pumps are second lowest in operating cost and also second
lowest in installation cost after the wall mounted heat pumps.
3. The conventional split system type heat pumps are more cost effective and easier to
install, operate and maintain than the VRF systems.
4. The new generation wall mounted heat pumps are significantly improved in energy
efficiency and acoustical performance. They could be the most cost effective for
replacement of an existing wall mount unit and are still a viable option where aesthetics
are acceptable. This reasoning is true only if the physical size and configuration of
the unit has not changed to require structural and architectural modifications.
5. The systems that require central chilled and hot water plants are neither cost effective nor
easy to operate and maintain.
Recommendations
1. For buildings with flat roofs and parapets, rooftop gas electric units should be the first
choice for ease of maintenance if M & O prefers.
2. If an existing gas supply does not exist, consider rooftop heat pumps.
3. Use split system heat pumps if the existing roof structure or shape will not support the
rooftop units.
4. Install the fan coils of the split systems inside pre-manufactured cabinets for
acoustical performance, aesthetics and protection from vandalism in lieu of above the
ceiling. Substantial cost savings can also be realized from not having to reconfigure
existing electrical and data conduits and fire sprinkler piping if the ceiling is not
reconfigured.
5. If the space for outdoor units is limited consider VRF units.
6. If outdoor sound level is required to be limited consider VRF units.
7. For two story buildings with flat roofs, consider rooftop units for second floor and split
systems for first floor.

11
8. Extra care should be taken about the location of outdoor units. They could be
the source of outdoor noise intrusion if they are located near windows, louvers or
other openings into the building. If they are accessible or even visible from outside,
they are open to the risk of theft or vandalism. The accessibility of the units to the
students is a risk to physical harm.

Individual system description and evaluations

Rooftop Gas Electric Units
Rooftop packaged air conditioning units with gas heating are currently the most preferred
systems for new construction. The energy efficiency of these units is the highest among unitary
packaged systems. The sound levels are well proven to be below 45 dBA with proper design
and installation. The reliability is also well proven. Maintenance of these units is the most
convenient as the entire unit is readily accessible on the roof.
However, for existing facilities, the following issues exist for the rooftop units:
1. The existing roof support structure is not capable of supporting the added weight of the
unit and vibration isolator curbs and the structure is required to be modified.
2. The existing roof framing cannot accommodate the required duct sizes. The roof framing
is required to be modified.
3. For buildings with sloped roofs, the units installed on the roof are unsightly and also not
very safe for the service personnel as a level service platform is not typically provided.
Please refer to Figures 1 and 5.
4. Air distribution ductwork is required inside the room for proper air distribution and sound
attenuation. Modification of the existing ceiling is required in most cases. Sometimes the
upgrade of existing lighting is required. Relocation of existing items such as fire
sprinklers, fire alarms, technology conduits, etc. could be inconvenient and costly. If there
is limited or no space above the ceiling, the ductwork has to be installed exposed inside
the room.
5. Duct shafts through the second floor are required for the first floor of two story buildings.
6. The existing roofs in wood frame buildings might not offer sufficient sound attenuation.
Still, the rooftop units are viable options for buildings with flat roofs and parapets. This office is
using these units for the second floors of the two story classroom buildings of the LAUSD Venice
High School. This school has no space above the ceiling on the second floor. We terminated
both supply and return air ducts at the roof penetration. We developed a special diffuser so that
air may be distributed effectively throughout the entire room from one diffuser installed at the
roof penetration. Drawings and photos of these arrangements follow.

Rooftop Heat Pumps

Rooftop heat pumps are similar to rooftop gas electric units in all aspects except heating. Gas
electric units use natural gas in a furnace to heat. Heat pumps use the refrigeration compressor
to heat by reversing the refrigerant flow between indoor and outdoor coils with a special
reversing valve. Heat pumps have been well proven to provide reliable heating for schools in
Los Angeles weather which is relatively mild. Rooftop heat pumps are installed where there is no
existing gas supply. The cost is slightly lower. The operating cost is slightly lower than a gas
electric unit of the same capacity operating under the similar conditions. This is due to lower air
moving energy from lower internal resistance to air flow as there is no furnace inside a heat
pump. However, morning warm up time is longer and supplemental electric heaters are required
where the outdoor design heating temperatures are lower.
A (4) Nominal Ton capacity Rooftop heat pump unit have the following characteristics:
Make & Model: CARRIER 50HCQA05
Unit weight: 840 LBS including isolator curb
$ 8,000 as quoted by Carrier with isolator curb
Total Mechanical Installed Cost: $ 14,280 Means
of values of LAUSD Venice High School. There is very little cost difference between rooftop heat
pumps and gas electric units if there is an existing gas supply.
The duration of the installation of one new rooftop unit with ductwork for a classroom is 5
working days excluding architectural and structural modifications. The Means labor cost for
installation is $ 5,742.
York.
Split gas electric systems

Split gas electric systems are comprised of an outdoor condensing unit and an indoor section
which has a cooling coil installed on a gas forced air furnace. The overall configuration is similar
to a split system heat pump. We are dismissing this system altogether for the following reasons:
1. The internal resistance to air flow of the furnace makes the system less efficient.
2. The higher air flow resistance also makes the unit sound level higher.
3. The furnace also contributes to the indoor sound level.

18
4. A gas supply is required inside the classroom.

5. Combustion air intakes and combustion product flues are required to be installed.
Split system heat pumps

Split system heat pumps are currently the second most preferred systems for new construction.
The energy efficiency of these units is only slightly less than the rooftop unit systems but the
operating cost is the lowest. This is due to lower air moving energy from lower internal
resistance to air flow as there is no furnace inside a heat pump. It has been well proven in new
construction that the indoor air distribution is very effective with split system heat pumps with
ductwork above ceiling. The sound levels also are measured to be better than rooftop units of
similar capacity with an average of about 40 dBA with proper design and installation with
ductwork above ceiling. The reliability is also well proven. However, maintenance is the not as
convenient as the indoor fan coil unit is above the ceiling and has to be serviced after hours.
The existing roof support structure is usually capable of supporting the added weight of the
outdoor section of the split system heat pump unit as it is significantly lighter than the packaged
gas electric unit. The rooftop unit weighs 1,160 LBS and the split system heat pump only weighs
350 LBS.
For buildings with sloped roofs, the units installed on the roof are still unsightly and not very safe
for the service personnel.
Air distribution ductwork is required inside the room for proper air distribution and also sound
attenuation. Modification of the existing ceiling is required in most cases.
Ductless fan coil units are available but they have been studied in detail through pilot
installations in 2005 in the reference report “Duct Free Split System Heat Pumps as Alternative
for Wall Mounted Heat Pumps in existing classrooms, March 21, 2005” and rejected for
insufficient air filtration and outdoor air capacity characteristics.
To avoid the inconvenience and cost of ceiling modification, some manufacturers have
developed a floor mounted cabinet to contain the indoor fan coil unit to attenuate the sound and
protect the unit from being vandalized. These enclosures have been installed at a number of
LAUSD schools and a large number of California schools. The measured sound levels with
these enclosures are less than 50 dBA with varying results from below 40 dBA with Mitsubishi
units to about 48 dBA with Carrier furnaces. Furnaces have higher sound levels due to the
higher internal resistance to air flow by the furnace in addition to the cooling coil. We have
proposed improvements for these enclosures to reduce the sound levels with conventional split
system fan coil units. We also lowered the energy use further by not having ductwork above the
ceiling and installing the indoor fan coils in a floor mounted acoustical enclosure. We expect
these improvements will be factory tested in the near future. Please refer to figures 6, 7 and 8.
The split system heat pump units are the most viable options for the first floor of a two story
building with flat roofs and parapets. This office is using these units for the first floors of the two
story classroom buildings of the LAUSD Venice High School. This school has no space above

19
the ceiling. We are installing the indoor fan coils inside the cabinets mentioned above. We are
proposing special registers so that air may be distributed effectively throughout the entire room
from the cabinet installed at one corner of the room.
The split system heat pump units are also the most viable options for the single story buildings
with sloped roofs. The outdoor units can be installed on grade in a group at one end of the
building inside a block wall or chain link enclosure. The refrigerant lines can be run from the
outdoor units to the indoor fan coils up to about 150 feet.
The outdoor sections of the split system heat pumps are also available in a rectangular suitcase
shape with horizontal air flow. These suitcase shaped units can be stacked two deep one on top
of the other on a frame to reduce the enclosure size. Refer to figure 9.
Drawings and photos of these arrangements follow.

Variable refrigerant flow systems

Variable refrigerant flow systems are similar to split system heat pumps. The only difference is
one outdoor section can serve multiple indoor fan coil units. Ductless fan coil units are widely
used with this type of system but the ductless fan coils have been studied in detail through pilot
installations in 2005 in the reference report “Duct Free Split System Heat Pumps as Alternative
for Wall Mounted Heat Pumps in existing classrooms, March 21, 2005” and rejected for
insufficient air filtration and outdoor air capacity characteristics. We are recommending this
system with conventional fan coil units only. We can install the fan coil unit inside a floor
mounted cabinet or enclosure in a similar fashion to the split system heat pump fan coils.
The energy efficiency of the variable refrigerant systems is slightly lower than conventional split
system heat pumps when the energy calculations are done with EnergyPro in compliance with
California Energy Commission requirements. However, the manufacturers claim that the part
load efficiency of the VRF units is significantly higher than the conventional heat pumps. We ran
Title-24 non-compliance calculations with EnergyPro with the equipment performance libraries
supplied by LG and compared them with similar equipment performance libraries supplied by
Carrier for conventional split system heat pumps. The results are tabulated and presented as a
comparative statement. The VRF units are found to be more efficient.
The outdoor sections of the variable refrigerant systems are more than 5’-0” high for most
manufacturers. They are not suitable for rooftop installation for single story buildings with sloped
roofs. Please refer to Figure-16.
One variable refrigerant flow unit that can serve five classrooms can be installed in the space
required for three non-stacking, conventional split system heat pump outdoor sections. The
space savings are however not very significant. A drawing comparing the two arrangements is
provided as Figures-17 and 18.
The difficulty level of installation and service is also expected to be higher than conventional
rooftop and split system units.
The main advantage of these units is outdoor sound level which averages about 61dBA. The
conventional split system heat pumps average about 74 dBA.

Wall mounted heat pumps

The new generation wall mounted heat pumps are significantly improved in energy efficiency
and acoustical performance. They could be the most cost effective for replacement of an
existing wall mount unit and are still a viable option where aesthetics are acceptable. This
reasoning is true only if the physical size and configuration of the unit has not changed to require
structural and architectural modifications.
The energy efficiency of the new wall mounted heat pump systems is slightly lower than
conventional split system heat pumps when the energy calculations are done with EnergyPro in
compliance with California Energy Commission requirements. However, the manufacturers claim
that the part load efficiency of the new wall mounted heat pump units is significantly higher than
the conventional heat pumps. We cannot substantiate this claim until the simulation software
EnergyPro is updated.

Indoor cabinet type heat pumps

This office installed Airedale Cabinet Type Heat Pumps for Emery Park Elementary School in
the Alhambra Unified School District in 2010. LAUSD also have these units installed at Aragon
and Washington Prep Schools. Client satisfaction, acoustical performance and reliability for
these units are not as high as the rooftop or split system units. Please refer to figure 25.
This unit has the following disadvantages.
1. It is the necessity to install the unit against an exterior wall with sizeable wall louvers
through the wall.
2. The footprint or floor area required is larger than the fan coil unit cabinet.
3. The unit sound level is closer to 50 dBA than 45.
4. The unit is heavy and is relatively difficult to move into the classroom. The unit also does
not fit through an existing door.
5. The difficulty level of installation and service is also expected to be higher than
conventional rooftop and split system units.

4 pipe Hydronic fan coils

Hydronic fan coils are a viable option only if there is an existing chilled and hot water supply.
Then a 4 pipe fan coil unit can be installed inside a cabinet in a similar fashion as a DX fan coil
inside the room.
New chilled and hot water plants are not recommended. They have the following disadvantages:
1. They take a very significant amount of space. Please refer to the figures 28, 29 and 30..
2. The energy efficiency is also low. The chillers are only 10+ EER while unitary equipment
is 12+.
3. The initial cost is high.
4. They are difficult to install.
5. They are difficult to operate.
6. They are very noisy. The sound level of the air cooled chiller can be as high as 110 dBA.

Chilled Beams
There are two types of chilled beams, active and passive. This discussion will be limited to active
chilled beams. An active chilled beam is an induction type heating and cooling device which
causes room air motion through induction of high velocity air jets. The simplest explanation is it
is like a diffuser with integral heating and cooling coils. Pretreated (preheated or precooled and
dehumidified filtered air) from a dedicated outdoor air system is ducted to the chilled beams. The
air then goes through distribution nozzles inside the device and increases in velocity. This high
velocity air stream induces room air to flow across the heating and cooling coils inside the device
and mix with it. The resultant mixed cooled or heated air is then distributed into the space.
Please refer to Figures 31through 35.
The two major advantages of this system is less air moving energy and less space for ductwork.
This system is also very quiet. It is suitable for existing buildings with limited space above the
ceiling. They are also preferred for laboratories and similar applications where 100% outdoor air
with no return air is required.
There are also major disadvantages. A central heating and cooling plant for chilled and hot
water is required. Air handling units for dedicated outdoor air is also required. The chilled water
temperature to the devices has to be controlled above room dew point to prevent condensation.
The engineering principles behind the device are somewhat esoteric.
We do not recommend this system for schools except for historical buildings with abundant
budgets.
A chilled beam system with a 60 Nominal Ton capacity air cooled chiller and a 0.75 MBTUH
Capacity outdoor boiler for a 12 classroom building have the following characteristics:
The efficiencies of the chiller and boiler will be similar to the central plant for the fan coil unit
system.
Total Central Plant Mechanical System Installed Cost: $ 281,600 (Means 2012)
Total additional cost for dedicated outdoor air unit, chilled beams, heat exchanger for the
secondary chilled water to the chilled beams, piping, pumps ductwork and controls: $ 248,000
Total Installed Cost including Architectural, Structural and Electrical: $ 628,560 (Means 2012)
That is equivalent to $ 52,000 per classroom.
The duration of the installation of one central plant for 12 classrooms is 30 working days. The
Means labor cost for installation is $ 113,760 or $ 9.480 per classroom.

LG Installation @ Grant High School
Figure 36: LG Single Zone Split System Heat Pump and Fan coil unit @ Grant High
School
The LG unit installed at Grant High School is a single zone split system Variable Refrigerant
Flow heat pump with the following characteristics.
Make and Model: LG ARUN047GS2 heat pump with ARNU483NKA2 indoor fan coil unit
Outdoor sound level: 51 / 53 dBA (Cooling / Heating)
Indoor Fan Coil Unit Sound Level: 49 / 47 / 41 dBA (High / Medium / Low Speeds)
Unit weight: Outdoor heat pump 234 LBS net unit weight
Equipment Cost: $ 3,150 Means 2012
$ 5,455 as quoted by LG
The indoor unit will need to be operated at medium speed to satisfy the capacity requirements.
We recommend that this unit be installed in the same acoustical cabinet that was recommended
for the conventional fan coil units at Venice High School in Figure 13 to maintain the classroom

49
sound levels below 45 dBA, prevent students from accessing the unit and for better anchorage
and aesthetics.
Extra care should be taken about the location of outdoor units. They could be the source
of outdoor noise intrusion if they are located near windows, louvers or other openings into the
building as installed. The LG outdoor unit is very quiet with only 51 dBA during cooling but the
existing glazing could be single glazed and might not have sufficient attenuation value.
Replacement of adjacent glazing might be necessary. The wall mounted units have a
significantly higher outdoor sound level of 64 dBA for the future units that are not in the market
as yet. The current units are about 66 dBA outdoor sound level.
If the outdoor units are accessible or even visible from outside the school compound, they are
open to the risk of theft or vandalism. The accessibility of the units to the students is a risk to
physical harm. A protective enclosure is necessary. The wall mounted units impose the same
risk.
The condensate drain should be discharged to a drywell located far enough away from the
structural foundations or a planter.
This unit is a residential type unit and is limited to 230 V – 1 ɸ electrical power supply only. 480
V –3 ɸ units are preferred for classroom applications. If the existing wall mounted unit is wired
for 3 ɸ power, an 8 Ton unit could be installed to serve two fan coils in two classrooms. The
service can remain but the wire and breaker sizes will need to be increased. The 8 Ton units
have the outdoor sound level of 58 dBA and are still quieter than the wall mounted units.
The construction of this unit is also not as robust and sturdy as the conventional US made
units. We are of the opinion that this unit might not be as durable also due to the presence of
plastic components. However, the plastic components are just in the casing and the
manufacturers offered to provide custom metal components.
This unit has a higher SEER than the conventional Carrier split system heat pump unit; 15.2
against 14.8 but a lower EER; 9.5 against 12.5. Calculations with the current version of
EnergyPro will not provide a significantly better result than the Carrier unit. We calculated the
annual energy cost to be $ 1.65 per square foot per year for this unit in the valley. The cost
with the Carrier unit is $ 1.71.
We went to the jobsite on November 19th and took sound level and temperature distribution
measurements. We measured at 5’ from the front of the unit, center of room and 5’ out from
each corner. The results are found to be favorable at ± 45 dBA and ± 72⁰F at all locations.
Total Installed Cost including Architectural, Structural and Electrical is $ 14,100 from the
historical cost of 2009 to 2011 for northern and southern California as provided by the Benoist
Company. LG concurs with the number.
Cost of Acoustical Cabinet Enclosure: $ 5,000
