Existing Facility Project - User Manual

The home screen looks like this before the first project is started.
Click on one of the two buttons to begin the project
After projects are started, the home screen looks like this
Click to start a new project
- The Project Screen is where key project details are entered
- The Customer Details form is a way to capture information of the person the project will be presented to
- First step is to select the Industry Sector
- Depending on the Industry Sector selection, a list of Facility Types within that sector will be available to select

- There are no differences between projects in different Industry Sectors or Facility Types from a graphical or construction
type.
- Next, enter a Project ID

- This should be a unique identifier to label the project. This will be the project name that appears on the home screen
- Next, select the Geographic Location for the project

- The selection of Geographic Location will control the project units

o If North America is selected, the units will be Imperial (resistance in iwg, air flow in CFM)
o If another region is selected, the units will be Metric (resistance in Pa, air flow in m3/hr)
- Next, select the Country
- Next, enter the City
- Next, select the environmental contamination the best describes the location for the project

- These options are based on PM2.5 levels. The particle size distribution is based on the urban and rural distributions
published in the ISO 16890-1 air filter test standard
- Next, select the currency to be used in the project

- USD (US$) is always available to be selected. Other currencies in the drop down menu will be based on the country
selection
- When USD (US$) is selected, kWh Cost and Labor Rate/Hour values are pre-populated. Other currencies and regions
require the user to input the appropriate local values.
- Inflation percentages are defaulted at 2% , these values can also be modified

- Click the “Save To Continue” button

The AHU screen gives a summary of the AHU filter total cost of
ownership (TCO) details. System Parameters are info that drive the
TCO calculations. For an existing facility project, Total System Air Flow
is user entered from an existing AHU capacity. Percent Outside Air in
the AHU. Make Up Air is calculated after the inputs in the Rooms
screen are entered (next screen of the program).
Clicking on the pencil icon next to any of the AHU Filter Stage selections enters the Filter Specifications menu for that
particular filter stage. Here, the user can change the filter selection, filter depth, filter efficiency, number of pockets (for bag
filters), filter media type, edit number of filters, disposal cost, labor hours, and change out specifications. Filter face velocity
is calculated based on the number of filters and the total system air flow.
The AHU TCO Summary table shows a summary of the filter, energy,
labor and disposal cost associated with the chose filters. The Existing
side of the table is calculated based on the inputs in the Existing
AHU Filter Specifications menu and the Optimized side of the table
is calculated based on the lowest TCO selections chosen for each
filter stage
The Room Classification section allows the user to select the target room
classification and the particle size of interest to be displayed.
The Room Design Options section allows the user to select the room dimensions
(width, depth, and height), air change rate (AC/HR), percent of air recirculated,
exhausted, and leaking from the room (default vale of 2% chosen) and the ventilation
effectiveness.
The Contamination Load section allows the user to change the efficiency of the AHU
filter stages, supply filters, and exhaust filters. Different combination of filter grades
chosen changes the amount of contamination entering the room. People and
Equipment source contamination can also be chosen which is visually displayed.
The Controls section allows the user to change the number of people occupying the
room and what type of garments the people are wearing. If known, an option for
Process Contamination Concentration adds the selected particle count/s at 0.5µm.
The Clean Room Contamination chart displays contamination levels of the selected
particle size as a function of AC/HR. As AC/HR is increased, the contamination amount
in the room is decreased. The vertical black line shows the user selected AC/HR, and
the horizontal gray lines show the selected room classification.
The Clean Room Recovery Time chart displays how long it takes the room (in minutes)
to return to a steady state condition after all the contamination sources and air
change rates are selected.
The Minimum AC/HR Required table shows the amount of air changes in the room
required to meet the selected classification. The classification needs to be met at
every particle size, so the highest number on the table is the needed AC/HR
- The Rooms TCO screen allows the user to see how filter and housing selections impact energy cost by comparing different
damper types in the housings and different media type (glass vs eFRM vs ePTFE) in the filters. This is where the user can
see the TCO and true System Economy, i.e. Housing + Filter + Diffuser.
- Clicking on the pencil icon next to the Option 1 and Option 2 Supply Housing brings up the Supply Housing Information
menu. This allows the user to select housing type, housing dimensions, damper type, diffuser type, trim type, aerosol
dispersion, construction type, and housing cost.
- Clicking on the pencil icon next to the Option 1 and Option 2 Supply Filter brings up the Filter Information menu. This
allows the user to select filter type (Glass, eFRM, ePTFE), filter efficiency, filter nominal pack depth, faceguard option, seal
type, display rated flow, filter dimensions, and filter cost. Quantity of Supply Filters is calculated by Rooms screen inputs
that calculate the supply air flow rate and the rated flow of the filter
A generic model is generated that allows the user to view the filters and housings selected in a typical AHU &
Cleanroom 3D environment. Clicking on products pulls a model of the project into the pop-up screen and allows the
user to download relevant documents of the product, such as specs, drawings, and BIM content.
The user has the option of actually building the room chosen where the actual # of housings and filters are calculated for
the developed project. The model generation can take 8-15 mins depending on the content chosen. The user can work on
viewing and selecting reports and viewing the components of the housings selected and so on.
Note: The program is built on AutoDesk Forge. Clicking the rebuild model generates a cost to AAF as the model renders in
the cloud. Be mindful of generating models when the generic model typically demonstrates the necessary information.
The pop-up model screen can be expanded to allow the user to view the model for a cross-sectional view of the products
components.
The Reports screen allows the user to generate and download reports that summarize various parts of the project inputs
and outputs. The report options include the expected cleanroom cleanliness levels and recovery time with all the
variables chosen. TCO calculations for optimized housing and filter selections. All specifications of the selected products
and applicable Revit drawings for the engineering BIM content.

View Animations opens a simple walkthrough animation.

The Tech Library screen allows the user to view or download the High Purity Filtration Guide, individual technical pieces
including white papers from leading industry experts, damper and housing testing animations.
