GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Nowadays Ventilation and air conditioning is the technology of indoor

and vehicular environmental comfort. Its goal is to provide thermal comfort and

acceptable indoor air quality. Air-conditioning system design is a sub discipline

of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid

mechanics, and heat transfer. Air-conditioning is an important part of

commercial and building structures such as apartment buildings, hotels and

senior living facilities, medium to large industrial and office buildings and

hospitals, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect

to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from outdoors. [1]

Ventilating or ventilation is the process of exchanging or replacing air in any

space to provide high indoor air quality which involves temperature control,

oxygen replenishment, and removal of moisture, odors, smoke, heat, dust,

airborne bacteria, carbon dioxide, and other gases. Ventilation removes

unpleasant smells and excessive moisture, introduces outside air, keeps

interior building air circulating, and prevents stagnation of the interior air.

Ventilation includes both the exchange of air to the outside as well as

circulation of air within the building. It is one of the most important factors for

maintaining acceptable indoor air quality in buildings. Methods for ventilating a

building may be divided into mechanical/forced and natural types. [2]


1.1 INTRODUCTION

Civil Registration is the recording in the appropriate civil registers,

vital acts and events that affect the civil status of individuals. Vital acts and

events are the births, deaths, fetal deaths, marriages and all such events

that have something to do with an individual's entrance and departure from

life together with the changes in civil status that may occur to a person

during his lifetime.

Civil registry documents include records of births, marriages, deaths, court

decrees, legal instruments which affect the status of a person, divorce,

conversion to Islam and marriages solemnized under Presidential Decree

1083, and civil registry documents of Filipino citizens reported at Philippine

Consulates abroad. These documents are submitted by the local civil

registry offices, Shari'a courts and Department of Foreign Affairs to PSA

and are converted to digital format and loaded in the Civil Registry System

– Information Technology Phase 2 (CRS-ITP2) database for copy issuance

purposes.
The CRS-ITP2 will involve the computerization of the civil registry

operations of the PSA and is designed to collect, access, store, maintain

and manage civil registry documents and the specimen signatures of all

city and municipal registrars using imaging technology. The CRS-ITP2 will

also include production of vital statistics and make the civil registry

services available nationwide through the CRS outlets and other

authorized partners. The CRS-ITP2 will also include the construction of a

building that will house the servers of the information technology system. [3]

This engineering report is intended to design the Air Conditioning and

Ventilation System of Civil Registration System green building.

This Engineering Report will focus on the following:

• Cooling load calculation

• Ventilation system

• Guide for Air-Conditioning Building Calculation

The purpose of this report is to do the selection and design of Air-

Conditioning System using the underlying principles of Engineering and

Engineering Economy to a Government facilities/buildings like the Civil

Registry System building. Due to the current concern on environment and

energy utilization, any system requiring electrical energy must be designed

to optimum efficiency, ecofriendly and low energy consumption.

1.3 HISTORY OF THE COMPANY

The National Statistics Office (NSO) (Filipino: Pambansang Tanggapan ng

Estadístika), formerly known as Bureau of Census and Statistics is the

Philippine government's major statistical agency responsible for collecting,

compiling, classifying, producing, publishing, and disseminating general-

purpose statistics. The NSO also has the responsibility of carrying out and

administering the provision of the Civil Registry Law including the archiving

of birth, death and marriage and servicing requests for copies and

certifications based on these documents as provided for in Act No. 3753

dated February 1931.

The organization assumed its responsibilities when Commonwealth Act

(C.A.) No. 591 was approved on 19 August 1940. It was then known as the

Bureau of the Census and Statistics (BCS). It became the National Census

and Statistics Office (NCSO) in 1974 until was renamed to be the National

Statistics Office.

In September 12, 2013 the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) was

created, when the Philippine Statistical Act of 2013 (Republic Act No.

10625) was signed by President Benigno S. Aquino III. The new

government authority was created by merging the National Statistics

Office, the National Statistical Coordination Board, the Bureau of

Agricultural Statistics, and the Bureau of Labor and Employment Statistics.


The PSA serves as the central statistical authority on primary data

collection in the Philippines by conducting censuses on different sectors of

the Philippine economy such as population, housing, agriculture, fisheries

and business. It collects, compiles, analyzes and publishes statistical

information on economic, social, demographic, political affairs and general

affairs of the people of the Philippines. Likewise, it enforces the civil

registration functions in the Philippines. Currently the CRS-ITP2 is a

preceding agency maintain by Philippine statistic authority (PSA) for

national registration. [4]

CHAPTER 2
AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND DESIGN ANALYSIS
2.1 INTRODUCTION
In the office and commercial buildings, large energy is consumed due to
poor thermal performance and low efficiencies of air conditioning system.
Air conditioning system (often referred to as AC, A.C., or A/C) is the
process of removing heat from the interior of an occupied space, to
improve the comfort of occupants. Air conditioning can be used in both
domestic and commercial environments. This process is most commonly
used to achieve a more comfortable interior environment, typically for
humans or animals; however, air conditioning is also used to
cool/dehumidify rooms filled with heat-producing electronic devices, such
as computer servers, power amplifiers, and even to display and store
artwork. [8]
Air conditioners often use a fan to distribute the conditioned air to an
occupied space such as a building or a car to improve thermal comfort and
indoor air quality. Electric refrigerant-based AC units range from small units
that can cool a small bedroom, which can be carried by a single adult, to
massive units installed on the roof of office towers that can cool an entire
building. The cooling is typically achieved through a refrigeration cycle, but
sometimes evaporation or free cooling is used. Air conditioning systems
can also be made based on desiccants (chemicals which remove moisture
from the air) and subterraneous pipes that can distribute the heated
refrigerant to the ground for cooling. [9]
In the most general sense, air conditioning can refer to any form of

technology that modifies the condition of air (heating, cooling,

(de-)humidification, cleaning, ventilation, or air movement). In common

usage, though, "air conditioning" refers to systems which cool air. In

construction, a complete system of heating, ventilation, and air

conditioning is referred to as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning

(HVAC – as opposed to AC). [10]


2.2 AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM COMPARISSON
In selecting an air conditioning system, it is important to know what the
options are. The way was to learn about each type of unit, their strengths
and their weaknesses.
The following are different type of Air-conditioning system; [11]
1. Window Type Air Conditioner. This type of unit is designed to cool a
single room. In this air conditioner all the components, namely the
compressor, condenser, expansion valve or coil, evaporator and cooling
coil are enclosed in a single box. This unit sits in the window. Because of
this, it is not the most aesthetically pleasing option available. But looking to
cool a single room, it is the most cost-effective option around.
2. Split Air Conditioner. This unit is comprised of two parts: the outdoor,
which houses the compressor, condenser and expansion valve; and
the indoor, which is comprised of the evaporator coil and cooling fan.
The split air conditioner can be used to cool one or two rooms.
3. Packaged Air Conditioner. This type of unit is perfect for cooling multiple
rooms or a large space in office. There are two possible arrangements
with the package unit. In the first one, all the components, namely the
compressor, condenser (which can be air cooled or water cooled),
expansion valve and evaporator are housed in a single box. The cooled
air is thrown by the high capacity blower, and it flows through the ducts
laid through various rooms. In the second arrangement, the
compressor and condenser are housed in one casing. The compressed
gas passes through individual units, comprised of the expansion valve
and cooling coil, located in various rooms
4. Central Air Conditioning System. This unit is used primarily to cool big

buildings, houses, offices, entire hotels, factories, etc. The central air

conditioning system is comprised of a huge compressor that has the

capacity to produce hundreds of tons of air conditioning. Having big area

to cool, central air conditioning may be the only way to go.

5. VRF or VRV Air Conditioning. Variable refrigerant flow (VRF), also

known as variable refrigerant volume (VRV), this is typically installed with

an Air conditioner inverter which adds a DC inverter to the compressor in

order to support variable motor speed and thus variable refrigerant flow

rather than simply perform on/off operation. The VRV system is a multi-

split type air conditioner for commercial buildings that uses variable

refrigerant flow control to provide customers with the ability to maintain

individual zone control in each room and floor of a building.


2.3 RESULTS AND CONCLUSION

Due to weather condition and climate change of the Philippines, the

portion of electricity consumed in the building exceeds to 50% of the total

energy consumption during summer season. Therefore this narrative

report aim the highest interest of improving the efficiency of Air-

conditioning system in an attempt to reduce the total energy consumption.

Many studies have shown that VRF/VRV systems tend to consume less

energy when compared to other systems, making them suitable equipment

to be installed in the Philippines.

As a result VRF/VRV is the recommended system for CRS-ITP2

Building which it helps to the facilities in accommodating various load

requirements for separate rooms, offices and workstations. The following

are benefits of the VRF/VRV system: [12]

1. ENERGY EFFICIENCY. VRF HVAC systems use less energy for several

reasons. The system is designed to provide exactly the amount of cooling

needed for the current conditions, which means it runs less frequently and

at a lower capacity

2. QUIET OPERATION. In a VRF HVAC system, the noisier condensing

unit is typically outside, and the indoor air handlers are smaller and quieter

than a traditional split system.


3. CONSISTENT COMFORT. The VRF HVAC system’s compressor can

detect the precise requirements of each zone, and send the precise

amount of refrigerant needed to do the job. As a result, each area space is

consistently comfortable with well-controlled humidity and cold spots.

4. LESS DOWNTIME. Since the VRF HVAC system is designed to run

only when needed and under partial-load conditions, there is less wear

and tear on the parts. That means fewer breakdowns. Also, if something

goes wrong with one air handler, often the others are unaffected.

5. REQUIRES LESS SPACE. Since the air handlers are smaller and VRF

HVAC systems don’t usually require ducts, they don’t require as much wall

and ceiling space for the equipment.

6. MODERN CONTROLS. The VRF HVAC system’s built-in controls may

allow skipping to purchase expensive building management software.


CHAPTER 3

COOLING LOAD AND VENTILATION CALCULATION

3.1 INTRODUCTION

CRS-ITP2 Building, consist of 8th floor level building located within the

premises of PSA, East Avenue, Quezon City, NCR, Philippines. The air-

conditioning and ventilation design on this building is based on the

required parameters which indicated in Architectural and Structural

drawings.

A cooling load calculation is a basis for the design of building cooling

systems. The current design methods are usually based on deterministic

cooling loads, which are obtained by using design parameters. However,

these parameters contain uncertainties, and they will be different from that

used in the design calculation when the cooling system is put in use. The

actual cooling load profile will deviate from that predicted in design. A

modified bin method was used in this paper to optimize the energy

efficiency ratio (EER). A design optimization method is proposed by

considering uncertainties related to the cooling load calculation. Impacts

caused by the uncertainties of seven factors are considered, including the

outdoor weather conditions and internal heat sources. The cooling load

distribution is analyzed. Comparison between the modified bin method and

CLTD/SCL/CLF method is also conducted. With the distributions of their

energy consumption, decision makers can select the optimal configuration

based on quantified confidence.

3.3 WEATHER DESIGN DATA
The CRS-ITP2 building was under the NCR Region which equivalent to the
Weather data of Manila, Luzon, Philippines is at 14°34'N, 120°58'E, 18 m
(59 ft). Manila, Luzon has a tropical wet and dry/ savanna climate
(Köppen-Geiger classification: Aw) with a pronounced dry season in the
low-sun months , no cold season, wet season is in the high-sun months.
Table 1 and graph below shows the weather data.

TABLE 1
TABLE 2
3.4 INTERNAL LOAD SCHEDULE

Internal heat gains from people, lights, motors, appliances, and equipment

can contribute the majority of the cooling load in a modern building. As

building envelopes have improved in response to more restrictive energy

codes, internal loads have increased because of factors such as increased

use of computers and the advent of dense-occupancy spaces. Internal

heat gain calculation techniques are identical for both heat balance (HB)

and radiant time series (RTS) in reference to cooling-load temperature

difference calculation methods (CLTD) of ASHRAE, so internal heat gain

data are presented here independent of calculation methods.

(a) Internal Load (People) [14]

Based on ASHRAE Chapter 18-18.3

Given on Table 1 of ASHARE, representative rates at which sensible heat

and moisture are emitted by humans in different states of activity. In high-

density spaces, such as auditoriums, these sensible and latent heat gains

comprise a large fraction of the total load. Even for short term occupancy,

the extra sensible heat and moisture introduced by people may be

significant. On table 3, summarizes design data for common conditions.


The conversion of sensible heat gain from people to space cooling load is

affected by the thermal storage characteristics of that space because

some percentage of the sensible load is radiant energy. Latent heat gains

are usually considered instantaneous, but research is yielding practical

models and data for the latent heat storage of and release from common

building materials.
(b) Internal Load (Lighting) [15]

Because lighting is often a major space cooling load component, an

accurate estimate of the space heat gain it imposes is needed. Calculation

of this load component is not straightforward; the rate of cooling load from

lighting at any given moment can be quite different from the heat

equivalent of power supplied instantaneously to those lights, because of

heat storage.

Instantaneous Heat Gain from Lighting

The primary source of heat from lighting comes from light-emitting

elements, or lamps, although significant additional heat may be generated

from ballasts and other appurtenances in the luminaries. Generally, the

instantaneous rate of sensible heat gain from electric lighting may be

calculated from

Qlighting = W * Flighting *Fsl Equation ------------ (1)

Where:

Qlighting = heat gain, W

W = total light wattage, W

Flighting = lighting use factor

Fsl = lighting special allowance factor


The total light wattage is obtained from the ratings of all lamps installed,

both for general illumination and for display use. Ballasts are not included,

but are addressed by a separate factor. Wattages of magnetic ballasts are

significant; the energy consumption of high efficiency electronic ballasts

might be insignificant compared to that of the lamps.

The lighting use factor is the ratio of wattage in use, for the conditions

under which the load estimate is being made, to total installed wattage. For

commercial applications such as stores, the use factor is generally 1.0.

The special allowance factor is the ratio of the lighting fixtures’ power

consumption, including lamps and ballast, to the nominal power

consumption of the lamps. For incandescent lights, this factor is 1. For

fluorescent lights, it accounts for power consumed by the ballast as well as

the ballast’s effect on lamp power consumption. The special allowance

factor can be less than 1 for electronic ballasts that lower electricity

consumption below the lamp’s rated power consumption.

An alternative procedure is to estimate the lighting heat gain on a per

square foot basis. Such an approach may be required when final lighting

plans are not available. Table 2 shows the maximum lighting power density

(LPD) (lighting heat gain per square metre) allowed by ASHRAE Standard

90.1-2007 for a range of space types.


(c ) Internal Load (Appliances) [16]

Based on ASHRAE Chapter 18-18.6

A cooling load estimate should take into account heat gain from all

appliances. Often, the only information available about heat gain from

equipment is that on its nameplate, which can overestimate actual heat

gain for many types of appliances.

Office Equipment

Computers, printers, copiers, etc., can generate very significant heat

gains, sometimes greater than all other gains combined. Miscellaneous

office equipment, in Table 10 & 11/ Pages 18.3, presents data on

miscellaneous office equipment and load factor for various types of offices.
(d) Internal Load (Infiltration) [17]

Principles of estimating infiltration in buildings, with emphasis on the

heating season, Infiltration is the flow of outdoor air into a building through

cracks and other unintentional openings and through the normal use of

exterior doors for entrance and egress. Infiltration is also known as air

leakage into a building. The ASHRAE Standard 62.1 is the accepted

standard of compliance, for HVAC ventilation and infiltration criteria in

commercial, institutional and high-rise residential buildings.

General equation for Air leakage

q =ρ* Cp * ∆T *ACH Equation -------------- (2)

where;

q = heat flow, Btu/hr, KJ/s

Cp = specific heat of air, 0.24 Btu/lbs -°F, 1.005Kj/Kg-°K

∆T = temperature differential, °F, °C

Under normal conditions in a home:

ρ = Density of Air, 13.5 lb/ft3, 1.205 kg/ m3

ACH = Air change per hour

Infiltration Equation,

I = Rp * No. of Person (by People) Equation ---------------- (3)

I = Ra * Floor Area (by Space) Equation ---------------- (4)

Thermal conduction through walls and roofs

The conduction occurs when there is a temperature difference over a

medium. In the morning, the outside air is cooler than that is in the rooms. Thus

indoor air loses its energy though walls and roofs. In comparison, the higher

temperature at outside during daytime causes energy to move into the rooms.

Since the building has good insulation, heat gains from conductions are low. The

thermal conductions between rooms are neglected since the temperatures in all

rooms will be maintained at the same.


The equations of the thermal conduction of walls and roofs in different

constructions are describes as below.

Based on ASHRAE Chapter 18-18.26

q = U * A * ∆T Equation ---------------- (5)

q = A * ∆T / R

where:

q = heat flow, Btu/hr, W

A = surface area, ft2, m2

U = overall coefficient of overall heat transfer between adjacent and conditioned

space, W/(m2-°K), Btu/ft2-hr-°F

R = resistance, ft2-hr-°F/Btu, m2-°K/W

∆T = temperature differential, °F, °C

Conduction time factors for representative wall and roof types are included in

Tables 16 & 17 of ASHRAE, 18.24/18.26.


3.5 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

All building construction materials for CRS-ITP2 project were

shown in Architectural drawing from Legends symbol and abbreviation.

3.6 DETAILED LOAD CALCULATIONS

Load calculations involve a systematic and stepwise procedure that

takes into account all the relevant building energy flows. The cooling load

experienced by a building varies in magnitude from zero (no cooling

required) to a maximum value. The design cooling load is a load near the

maximum magnitude, but is not normally the maximum. Design cooling load

takes into account all the loads experienced by a building under a specific

set of assumed conditions.

The assumptions behind design cooling load are as follows:

1. Design outside conditions is selected from a long-term statistical

database. The conditions will not necessarily represent any actual year, but

are representative of the location of the building. Design data for outside

conditions for various locations of the world have been collected and are

available in tabular form in various handbooks.

2. The load on the building due to solar radiation is estimated for

clear sky conditions.


3. The building occupancy is assumed to be at full design capacity.

4. All building equipment and appliances are considered to be operating at a

reasonably representative capacity.

Figure 1 shows various components that constitute the cooling load on a

building.

The total cost consume per day was P. 93,368.88

Thus,

Total cost per year = 93,368.88/day X 20 day/month X 12 month/year

=P. 22,408,531.2 /year

4.4 Maintenance cost

Assume 30% of the total project cost will be the maintenance per year.

Thus,

Maintenance cost = 43,800,000 X 30% = P. 13,140,000.00 /year

4.5 Return of Investment (ROI)

Net gross income per year = 803,748,097.66 – (22,408,531.2

+13,140,000.00)

= P. 768,199,566.46

ROI = Project cost / Net gross income per year

= 43,800,000.00 / 768,199,566.46

= 0.057 year

Result of the ROI, which is 0.057 year, shows a very positive investment

for the owner. Take note, however, that the theoretical income may

change on the actual operation.


CHAPTER 5
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 Summary
During the preparation of this Engineering report with significant emphasis on
VRV/VRF system, it has been evaluated that Air-conditioning design for
Office building using VRV/VRF system is cost-efficient to use in building and
commercials offices. The project cost as well as demand for cooling can
acquired by using the VRF/VRV system considering the reference to cooling-
load temperature difference calculation methods (CLTD) of ASHRAE.

5.2 Conclusion
The author concludes that the manual Air-conditioning and ventilation design
calculation using the CLTD method in this engineering report will refresh us
the basic & standard engineering calculation approach & give us more
technical ideas in analyzing an electromechanical set-up & design.
It is the author’s wish that the reader will acquire a clear understanding of the
full context and meaning of this engineering report.

5.3 Recommendations
With the aid of computer Air-conditioning software application it is easy to
calculate the Cooling Load. However, in my opinion, an engineer should be
familiarized with the basic formulas and manual calculation to understand
how the software calculates its value and, to be able to double check its
accuracy. Basically, Air-conditioning software calculations are formulated
from the basic formulas and tables extracted from ASHRAE handbook and it
is more advantageous for engineers to learn and prepare the software
programming since prior knowledge of the basic formula has been obtained
earlier.
