Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document focuses on Hybrid Thermal Mixing (HTM) Ventilation Systems, particularly their application in educational facilities under the Priority School Building Programme (PSBP). It covers the system's design, functionality, and adherence to specific regulations and standards.
Priority School Building Programme (PSBP)
The PSBP is a government initiative for rebuilding or refurbishing schools in urgent need of repair, managed by the Education Funding Agency (EFA). It includes two phases: the initial phase to be completed by 2017 and PSBP2, running from 2015 to 2021.
Facility Output Specification
This specification guides the design of PSBP schools, emphasizing adequate ventilation. Key requirements include a minimum ventilation of 3 l/s per person, a daily average of 5 l/s per person, and a capacity for 8 l/s per person for night-time purge during summer, with acoustic requirements of 35 dB(A) for mechanical ventilation noise.
Hybrid Thermal Mixing (HTM) Systems
HTM systems provide natural and hybrid ventilation, featuring mixed tempered air for winter and boosted ventilation for summer. They include intelligent control systems with low energy consumption, automatic switching between operational modes based on season and air quality, and compliance with PSBP criteria through CFD analysis.
System Features and Benefits
The system offers ideal environments for classrooms with mixed tempered air and secure night-time cooling, exceptionally low power consumption, full acoustic testing with a sound reduction index of 31 dB, and an automatic control strategy based on seasonal conditions.
Technical Specifications
The HTM system includes a rated voltage of 230 V AC and frequency of 50 Hz, exemption from EU regulations due to low energy consumption, and options for electric heater battery and BACnet BMS interconnection.
Installation and Operation
HTM systems can be installed for cross flow or single-sided ventilation strategies, automatically providing night-time cooling and modulating dampers for optimal ventilation temperatures.
Case Study: Thomas Hickman School
A case study demonstrates the HTM system's performance in a classroom setting, highlighting temperature and CO2 levels during different seasons.
Control and Diagnostic Features
The HTM wall controller allows for manual and automatic control of ventilation settings, including a diagnostic mode for system checks.
Conclusion
HTM systems offer a cost-effective, energy-efficient solution for school ventilation, meeting PSBP requirements and providing a comfortable learning environment.
Overview
The document provides a detailed analysis of Monodraught's HTM ventilation system, focusing on its natural and hybrid ventilation performance, winter performance, and compliance with environmental specifications for educational facilities.
1. Natural Ventilation Performance
Monodraught uses the ModeIIT Building Modeller and MacroFlo Air Movement modules to demonstrate the system's natural ventilation capabilities during non-heating seasons, automatically regulating airflow based on classroom conditions.
2. Hybrid Ventilation Performance
The HTM system operates in hybrid mode during peak summer periods, using a low-energy fan to boost fresh air supply, modeled using the ApacheHVAC System Simulation Interface.
3. Winter Performance Analysis
During heating seasons, the HTM system tempers incoming fresh air, mixing it with recirculated room air to maintain a supply air temperature of approximately 13°C, even when external temperatures are 0°C.
4. Building Simulation
Monodraught developed a performance model using IES-VE software, incorporating data from tests and monitoring to accurately represent the HTM system, considering occupancy, solar gain, and heat gains.
5. Construction Inputs
The document lists construction data, including U-values, thermal mass, infiltration rates, and occupancy details, critical for modeling and ensuring compliance with environmental specifications.
6. Climate Testing
A climatic test chamber evaluated the HTM system's performance, recording temperatures in different zones to ensure effective air mixing and ventilation rates.
7. Facilities Output Specification (FOS)
The document outlines requirements for achieving a passive internal environment, optimizing daylight and ventilation, and ensuring thermal comfort, with Monodraught's systems designed to meet these specifications.
8. Ventilation Requirements
The HTM system ensures adequate fresh air supply, mixing ventilation air to avoid cold draughts, maintaining air speeds below 0.3 m/s in winter, minimizing energy loss, and ensuring easy maintenance access.
