Terminology
• Commissioning (Cx)
 Commissioning is a “quality-oriented process” designed to ensure that a building,
facility or system is designed, constructed and operated to meet the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR).
Performed by a Commissioning Agent/Authority (CxA)
• Recommissioning (RCx)
 The commissioning of an existing building, facility or system that was previously commissioned. Review the
original commissioning documentation and identify changes. Update original document and retest to verify systems
are running as designed.
• Retro-Commissioning (RCx)
 The commissioning of an existing building or facility that was not previously
commissioned.
• Existing Building Commissioning (EBXc)
 Recommissioning and Retro-Commissioning also known as EBCx.
• Continual Commissioning (MBCx)
 A continuous process ensuring that the operational requirements are maintained
over the design life. Monitoring Based Continual Commissioning (MBCx)

What is Monitoring, Targeting and Reporting
The goal of MT&R is to provide Energy Management strategies that will achieve energy
savings and lower operating costs long term
Monitoring
 Use utility bills and sub-metering equipment to establish building baseline
 Evaluate energy and demand performance of selected equipment/systems, operation/production
and other influencing variables
 Get a complete picture of current energy consumption

Targeting
 Identify Energy Efficiency Measures (EEMs) that can be implemented (e.g. operational changes)
 Estimate demand and electricity savings (kW/kWh) based on implementing EEMs
 Implement changes and EEMs

Reporting
 Provide documentation to verify implementations and validate claimed savings
 Ensure ongoing energy management and that savings are being sustained
 Capture available Incentives
Why do Monitoring and Targeting and Reporting
Why do Monitoring and Targeting?
Electricityconsumption represents a significant portion of operating costs. Increased
operating costs affect profitability and sustainability of a business!
Theneed to reduce cost becomes important as energy costs increase, requiring “Energy
Management”

The First Step: Think Outside the Box

We have always learned to do things the “traditional” way. Making small


changes can make a big difference to the outcome. Even altering the way we
tie our shoes can determine if the knot will remain strong long term or have to
be a high maintenance task on an ongoing basis!
Consider Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
KPIs – are set of variables that organizations use to assess, analyze and track
business processes. These performance measurements are commonly used to
evaluate success in relation to goals and objectives and are very applicable to
energy and M&T Projects.

WHAT THEY ARE: WHAT THEY ARE NOT:

BioScrub EFM
All natural Patented ProBiotic Cleaning for
Coil and Cooling Tower Restoration

• Wednesday, September 12th, 2018

Darren A. Cooper, LEED® AP, CBCP, P.Eng.


About BioScrub EFM

• Traditional HVAC Cleaning Methods are Outdated, Unproven and Unreliable


• The standard cleaning methods use harsh chemicals and only reach into the first
row of the coil structure leaving the majority of the inner area un-affected by the
cleaning process

• The GreenAir® BioScrub EFM System removes Biofilm and is a complete Coil
Remediation Process that is the Next Step in Building System Optimization
What is Biofilm?

• Biofilm on the form of Bacteria and Mould grow in and on coils and fins as well as cooling
tower media clogging them and reducing the efficiency of a system
• The Biofilm created becomes a trap for dust and dirt and other contaminants
• Bacteria and Mould on coils and fins in evaporators, MAUs and AHUs can generate odours
that become a severe irritant and may lead to health issues within a building
• STANDARD traditional cleaning methods do not remove the Biofilm
About Biofilm
• Biofilm is single-celled microbes sticking together in a community waiting for moisture and a
food source to commence active growth at a microscopic level
Why is Biofilm a problem?

• The Biofilm traps dust and dirt and other contaminants which restricts airflow and can
greatly reduces the performance of coils
• In addition, Biofilm has very low Thermal Conductivity which means when it is
present on the surface the coil fins it acts as an insulator which also reduces the
thermal transfer performance of the coils
• The low Thermal Conductivity is far more detrimental to performance that the scaling

Why is Proper Coil Cleaning Important

According to a Southern California Edison Study

Dirty Condenser Coil


• Cooling capacity reduced by up to 40%
• 60% increase in discharge pressure reduces refrigeration effect up to 30%
• Compressor energy increased by 70%
• EER reduced by 60%

Dirty Evaporator Coil


• Cooling capacity reduced by 40%
• EER reduced by up to 35%
The BioScrub EFM Approach to Biofilm

• Environmentally friendly Microorganisms (EFM) Probiotic, Surfactants and


Enzymes in the BioScrub EFM Solution break down Biofilm and release trapped dirt
and provides cleaning at the microscopic level
• The use of the High Pressure Saturated Steam Cleaning ensure a deep cleaning of
the coils to remove the released Biofilm and dirt without causing physical damage
• The BioScrub EFM Solution uses constituents that are naturally biodegradable and
does not contain any harsh chemicals. All the constituents are on the Generally
Recognized as Safe (GRAS) list
• Performing Cleaning utilizing the BioScrub EFM System returns HVAC system coils
and cooling towers to “near new” condition
The BioScrub EFM Process

Inspect Treat Clean Verify

After cleaning and restoring the performance there is the option of ongoing periodic application of the BioScrub
EFM Solution to maintain a healthy balance of environmentally friendly microorganisms between the Cleaning
Schedule. This can also be done by automatic delivery through fogging which is tied into the HVAC system
controls for problematic HVAC Systems or components
The does having a dirty condenser or evaporator cause?
Dirty Condenser Dirty Evaporator
Raised condensing Reduced Thermal Transfer
temperature. Unit still operates
but at a much less efficient state • Cooling load not being met quickly
with higher compression ratios causes unit run time to increase
and much higher operating cost significantly to handle same load.
Dehumidification
Poor De-Superheating
• Coil cannot condense water on the fin
• Reduces refrigerant gases to a surface which greatly reduces its ability
saturated vapor to remove water vapor (humidity) from
the indoor air, Latent Load
Poor Condensing
Compressor damage
• In the phase change from gas
to liquid • Refrigerant will remain mostly liquid
causing sever damage and higher energy
Poor Subcooling input due to flooding and/or slugging
• Cooling liquid refrigerant
below condensing point
Cleaning Micro-channel Coils is a Challenge

New high efficiency HVAC units are now using


these Micro-channel coils for condensers and
evaporators

Every Fin has Tens of Gill Type Slits


Running in Opposite Directions

All Aluminum Construction means only


Water and Garden Hose is the recommended
Protocol for Cleaning which is ineffective (no use
of chemical cleaners)
