BTI File Number: 9534 Report Summary / Remarks Project Name: EcoLab SEL Lab The following is a summary of all systems that exceed NEBB / Contract Document Tolerances or any item that requires discussion / explanation. Item All Systems: 1.0 1.1 Each type of HVAC system is designed to meet a set of performance parameters. This usually includes maximum heating capacity and maximum cooling capacity. Bal Tech's intent is to normally set-up a system in its maximum capacity, or “full load” condition prior to the TAB process. 2.0 Discussion: System: Ex EF-H7 Report Page: 11 2.1 Existing fan CFM obtained with two hoods at maximum air volume (27" sash height) and the third at minimum. 3.0 Explanation: System: EF-H9 Report Page: 15 3.1 Duct static pressure control setpoint at -0.30 in. w.g. 3.2 Test #1 performed with canopy hoods open in what would appear to be the worst-case scenario. All canopies were open on the farthest main duct (closest to fume hoods) and canopies open at the end of the other mains. Duct static pressure at -.30 in. w.g. at the time of "test #1" readings (19 canopies open total) 3.3 Test #2 performed with every other canopy hoods open, 1/2 open per main duct. Duct static pressure at -0.15 in. w.g. at the the time of "test #2" readings (18 canopies open total). 4.0 Discussion: System: Heating Water Report Page: 16 4.1 VAV 1-26 coil was verified to be heating, however flow through the coil was reversed due to piping at the time of testing.
