1. Use TOPSS to select coils 2. 1 2 row coils Different mounting options Water coils can have a pressure drop which impacts system efficiency and fan airflow. Parallel units are MOST efficient when the water coil is mounted on the plenum inlet. Why would that be? Pressure drop through electric heaters is negligible. That is why the heater is located ONLY on the unit discharge. Many options available - refer to the specification Go to black board and draw diagram showing pressure dependent, then pressure independent. Yesterday we spoke about VariTrac.

We’ll look at five specific optimization strategies: Optimal start and optimal stop Fan-pressure optimization Supply-air-temperature reset and Ventilation optimization Let’s begin with optimal start… In many applications, a simple time clock or time-of-day schedule is used to start and stop the HVAC system. CLICK During the unoccupied hours, the system is shut off and the temperature is allowed to drift away from the occupied setpoint. The time at which the system starts in the morning is typically set to ensure that the indoor temperature reaches occupied setpoint on either the coldest or warmest morning of the year. The result is that, for most days, the system starts much earlier than it needs to. This increases the number of system operating hours and increases energy use. An alternative approach is a strategy called “optimal start.” A building automation system is u
