Chilled water piping and below ambient equipment shall be insulated with Pittsburgh Corning Foamglass for pipe sizes 3" and larger, and/or Armacell Armaflex, Imcoa Imcolock, or Rubatex Insultube for pipe sizes 2-1/2" and smaller. Select insulation thickness to prevent condensation when subjected to outdoor summer conditions. Provide jacket material that does not allow mold growth when wetted.
K. Provide primary-secondary type chilled water systems and avoid the use of variable primary type distribution systems, as these type of systems require higher levels of operation and maintenance expertise and control system complexity. L. Consider the use of vertical in-line pumps that allow easy seal replacement. M. Select cooling towers based upon 0.4% wet bulb/mean coincident dry bulb (WB/MCDB) ASHRAE climate conditions, and add 2 F (1C) for tower sizing. N. In climates where winter wet bulb temperatures are less than 50 F (10 C) for significant time periods, review the life cycle cost analysis of installing heat exchangers on the condenser water loop that allows evaporative chilling in lieu of running the chillers for guestroom temperature control. 1-6.04 Ventilation (Make-up) Air Requirements A. Adequately conditioned and properly distributed ventilation air enhances indoor air quality and can positively pressurize a building. While indoor air quality is very important to the health and satisfaction of hotel guests, a positively pressurized building in a hot, humid climate also assists in controlling water vapor transmission through the building envelope and maintaining even temperature throughout the interior. Controlling water vapor protects the building from condensation in the wall cavities, thus reducing the potential for the growth of mold and mildew. In cold or mixed climates, designer should ensure that moisture transmission in the exterior walls does not result in undesirable moisture accumulation in wall and roof systems. In mixed climates, buildings should be designed neutral to slightly negative during winter, and neutral to slightly positive in summer. B. Corridor ventilation is required and also provides a positively pressurized space to
37
DESIGN CRITERIA
keep smoke from entering the path of egress. Refer to local code requirements for other smoke control requirements for corridors and means of egress. C. Providing ventilation air to guestrooms via the corridor is not permitted by most modern building codes, requiring air to be ducted directly to the individual guestroom. It is important that the equipment designed to make up exhaust air is specifically designed for this purpose to minimize operational cost and maintenance, and that the ventilation air is supplied at room neutral conditions. Common roof top units or other package units (including PTACs & FCUs) are not designed for this purpose. D. Operable windows, where they may meet the local codes for ventilation of residential occupancy, will not be allowed as the primary means of guestroom ventilation. E. Buildings in humid climates are to be pressurized with a make-up-air system providing 100% outside air during all humid months. In those climates defined as Cold by ASHRAE, maintain guestrooms neutral to slightly negative in order to minimize internal moisture migration through the wall cavity to the exterior cladding. F. Provide building air balance calculations to HHC for review and approval. See Building Air Balance Summary Form included in this section. G. Design ventilation air systems to comply with ASHRAE Standard 62-2001 Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality and local codes. ASHRAE recommends 35 CFM intermittent exhaust per guest bath, 30 CFM per bedroom and 30 CFM per living room (as in suites), however these are not additive (See ASHRAE Interpretation IC 62-1989-28 dated 4/26/98). The standard outdoor air intake of the bedroom and/or living room units will normally meet code requirements for these areas. H. Select ventilation (make-up) air units to offset any continuous bathroom exhaust air quantity plus any other exhaust air from the corridors, plus air flow for pressurization (humid climates). Individual intermittently operated guest toilet exhaust fans are preferred, since diversity may be considered, reducing the make-up-air for baths to 75% of the design air exhaust rate. NOTE: If local codes require exhaust air flow rates in excess of above, the local codes shall govern. If prevailing winds consistently affect building pressurization, their affect must be taken into account in determining building air balance calculations and the makeup air quantity required for pressurization. I. Select make-up air entering air temperature (EAT) for cooling based on ASHRAE 0.4% summer design Dehumidification [dew point/mean coincident dry bulb (DP/MCDB)] and Humidity Ratio (HR), and for heating based on ASHRAE Annual Extreme Daily Mean Dry Bulb (MDB) Minimum winter design temperature (not Heating DB @ 99.6% or 99%). In order to remove adequate moisture from the outdoor air, the cooling coil needs to produce 55 FDB (12.8CDB) leaving air temperature, and reheat to approximately 68 FDB if for corridor make-up or 70 FDB (21 CDB) if directly into guestroom. Central station or penthouse air handling units are to include the following: 1. Preheat, cooling, and reheat sections. Integral face-and-by-pass preheat coils are recommended for hydronic heating projects in cold climates. 2. Double-wall insulated construction 3. Stainless steel drain pans 4. Access module between coils to allow for maintenance and placement of control elements 5. Two-stage filtration with MERV 7 pre-filters and at least MERV 12 final filters. K. Direct-expansion (DX) Makeup Air Units: Select factory assembled and tested packaged rooftop units designed for 100% outside air application. Split-systems shall not be utilized. Makeup air units are normally selected with cooling capacities at 160
J.

Rate units in accordance with the ARI Large Unitary AirConditioning Equipment Certification Program based on ARI Standard 360. 2. Provide a minimum of two independent cooling circuits for units up through nominal 30 tons (105 kW), and four independent cooling circuits for 31 nominal tons (109 kW) and above (for capacity control and redundancy). 3. Provide cooling coil circuiting with an intertwined arrangement. Face or horizontal split coil arrangement is not acceptable. 4. Include hot gas re-injection on the lead refrigerant circuit (to protect against coil freeze-up and refrigerant slugging of compressors due to low suction pressure / temperature at low load conditions). Freeze protection compressor lockout timers are not an acceptable substitution. 5. Include hot gas reclaim (reheat) circuit for humidity control (provides free reheat to keep cooling circuit in operation without over cooling space. Using gas or electric reheat for this purpose is not acceptable). Note: Humidity control may not be necessary at locations with low design wet bulb/humidity ratio (approx. 80 grains/lb. [11.4 g/kg] or less) such as the desert arid design or at high altitudes. However, provide this capability in those areas with annual rainy seasons. Systems utilizing sub-cooler reheat circuits are not recommended. Control hot gas reclaim using a modulating refrigerant valve control loop. On/off or step control algorithms are not acceptable. 6. Provide gas-fired heating with stainless steel heat exchanger, complete with 25 year non-prorated parts warranty (standard aluminized steel is not acceptable, will not hold up under low ambient OSA conditions and will fail prematurely). 7. Provide minimum 4-stage or modulating (minimum 3:1 turndown) control for heating. 8. Provide electric heating systems with minimum 4-stage control, maximum 10 kW per stage, or SCR modulating controls. 9. Stainless steel insulated drain pan 10. Double wall insulated cabinet construction 11.

In all cases, where mini-bars are installed the following minimum Standards for specifications for minibar absorption chiller units suitable for installation in Doubletree Hotel guestrooms must be adhered to. The aim of the specifications is to minimize the risk of an ammonia escape into a hotel guestroom while maximizing the benefit of minibars to the hotel group, though ultimately it is the role of the manufacturer to ensure the chiller is fit for its purpose. A. Design Life The life expectancy of a minibar is 10 years; manufacturers should ensure that the coatings in use are of a sufficient standard to prevent corrosion over this time span. In the event hotels wish to extend this life span, the manufacturer should list checks and their frequency to enable older units to be continued in service. B. Insulated Cabinets The minibars should be constructed externally and internally of material that is easy to keep clean and insulated with a suitable material. The insulation material should be blown (if applicable) with an environmentally
157
friendly reagent and be free of HCFCs hydrochloroflurocarbons) and CFCs (chloroflurocarbons) as required by the ozone depletion regulations. The use of HFCs (hydroflurocarbons) should be avoided but, if used, the volume of gas used must be labeled on the identification plate as required by the EU F gas regulations. The efficiency of insulation must match the refrigeration capacity of the chiller unit to be able to achieve a suitable temperature. However, insulation should be sufficient to 2 give a value of better than 0.9 Watts m /C. The outer skin of the cabinet should be of a vapor proof material and any seams or perforations for pipes, wires and conduits should be adequately sealed to prevent vapor penetration into the insulation. During normal operation in an ambient of 25C, 60% relative humidity, no condensation should form on any external part of the structure. C. Refrigeration Capacity The refrigeration capacity of the chiller unit should be sufficient to maintain 5 C or lower average temperature within the minibar in an ambient temperature of 25 C and 60% relative humidity. This condition should be met with the chiller unit running at full cooling capacity for no more than 90 percent of the time to allow for defrosting and deterioration of performance with age. D. Absorption Chiller Units The absorption system should comply with BS EN 378-1,-2,-3,-4 2008 and be designed in such a way as to minimize the possibility of leaks into the surrounding environment. Absorption chiller units must have a design life of at least 10 years and be made of materials to achieve this life expectancy. E. Gas Charge Manufacturers should make attempts to minimize the total system pressure and the ammonia charge. The ammonia charge should not exceed 2.25-grams / liter of storage space. Manufacturers might consider installing an overpressure device (e.g. a flat area of the absorber that can deform and operate a switch), which disables the heater if the pressure becomes too high. F. Energy Consumption It is acknowledged that the principal reason for selection of this type of chiller is not low energy consumption, but low noise, reliability, and low maintenance. Manufacturers should aim to have energy consumption better than 1.2 Watts / liter of storage space. G. Pipework Pipework should be made of steel and meet or exceed DIN, EN or other standard suitable for ammonia at the prescribed temperatures and pressures. The boiler tube should be a contiguous piece of material with no welds in the vicinity of the heater. The heater element should be of the wrap-around type and have a suitable heat transfer compound to avoid spot high temperatures. The boiler temperature during operation should be below 180 C. Ideally, the boiler tube thickness should be at least 1.5 mm (.06"), unless manufacturer can satisfy themselves that a thinner wall will meet the safety criteria. The design of the pipe system for the chiller must be laid out in such a way as to have no horizontal sections or silt traps, in order to prevent the occurrence of blockages. The chiller unit should have installed within the aqueous ammonia solution an inhibitor to prevent attack of the boiler tube internal surfaces. The suppliers should satisfy themselves that the inhibitor is of sufficient quality and quantity to prevent
158
corrosion of the boiler tube for the design life. Steel pipe work must be protected with an anti-corrosion finish of sufficient quality to resist scuffs, knocks and abrasions especially on any area of pipe work likely to be below the dew point of any surrounding air. The evaporator loop should be galvanized, chrome plated, painted with a resilient powder coat finish or encapsulated in a non-corrosive sheath. The cooler plate should be attached in such a way that it does not pierce the anti corrosion coating yet can be easily cleaned. Pressure testing should be carried out as detailed in BS EN 378-2. Strength test certificates should be provided for the chiller units witnessed by the person(s) responsible for the tests. H. Identification Plate Absorption chillers should be marked with an identification plate, which in addition to any statutory information for the country of use shall include the following data. 1. The manufacturers name 2. The serial number 3. The year of manufacture 4. The design pressure or maximum working pressure 5. The refrigerant type and quantity 6. The strength test pressure and date of test 7. Corrosion inhibitor type and quantity I. Control System Chiller units should be fitted with a control system capable of controlling the temperature defrosting and switching off the system if necessary for safety reasons. It should be entirely independent in its operation of any network monitoring system in case of the event of a network failure or disconnection. Ideally, the temperature control thermostat should modulate the power to the heater in order to minimize power consumption and thermal shock. Defrost should be on demand or automatic, approximately every 24 hours, again to minimize thermal shock to the chiller. The control system should monitor the cooling performance of the chiller after defrost and, if after a short period of operation (1-2 hours), no chilling is detected then the unit should automatically shut down, or else have installed an equivalent system. The electrical system should comply with the latest version of the electrical safety standards IEEE regulations in addition to any local regulations that might apply where the chiller is to be installed. J. Condensate The chiller should have a system for condensate collection and evaporation sufficient capacity to avoid damage to soft furnishings.
K. Installation A diagram giving the mounting criteria level tolerance and dimensions and preferred path for any ventilation ducts required by the chiller unit for cooling and efficient operation should be included. L. Maintenance The manufacturer should indicate in an accompanying written document what maintenance checks (and their frequency) should be carried out during the life of the chiller.
159
M. Disposal The manufacturer should indicate a safe method of disposal bearing in mind the components and pressure within the system. 10a-4.13 REFRIGERATOR (MINI-BAR) / MICROWAVE CASEGOOD A.

SECTION 27 MECHANICAL ROOM
27. 27-1.00 27-1.01
MECHANICAL ROOM GENERAL Air supply ventilation There shall be provision for a supply of air for combustion, for combustion products dilution where relevant, and for ventilation of the boiler house. The air supplies for boiler house ventilation shall be such that the maximum temperatures within the boiler house shall be as follows: At floor level (or 100 mm above floor level): 25 C At mid-level (1.5 m above floor level): 32 C At ceiling level (or 100 mm below ceiling level): 40 C
The provision of combustion and ventilation air shall be achieved by one of the following four methods, as appropriate: A. Air shall be supplied via one or more suitably sized low-level openings and discharged via one or more smaller high-level openings, the motive force being provided by thermal effects. B. In the case of balanced compartment installation, air shall be supplied and discharged by means of a purpose-designed (or proprietary) flueing / ventilation system based solely on high-level permanent openings situated immediately adjacent to the flue outlet. C. Air shall be supplied by a fan to a low-level opening and discharged naturally via one or more high-level openings. D. Air shall be supplied by a fan to a low-level opening and discharged by means of a second fan at high-level opening. The fans shall be selected so as not to cause a negative pressure (relative to the outside atmosphere) developing in the boiler house. A system in which air is supplied naturally via a simple opening and extracted using a fan shall not be used since this could depressurize the boiler house and cause down flow in the flue. For the purposes of determining air supply requirements liquid and solid fuel burning appliances, installed in the same room or space as gas-fired boilers, shall be treated as gas-fired appliances of a similar type and rating. High and low level openings shall be located as high and as low, respectively, as is reasonably practicable. 27-1.02 Natural ventilation Where a natural ventilation system is used, there shall be provision for either: A. Permanent low and high level opening communicating directly with the outside air or, in the case of a balanced compartment installation, a purpose-designed (proprietary) flueing and ventilation system based solely on high level permanent openings situated immediately adjacent to the flue outlet; OR B. The openings shall be fitted with grilles of negligible resistances and shall be sited so that they cannot be easily blocked or flooded. Where both low and high level openings are used, the grilled shall have a total minimum free area as follows: 1. Low level (inlet): 540cm plus 4.5cm per kilowatt in excess of 60kW total rated input. 2. High level (outlet): 270cm plus 2.25cm per kilowatt in excess of 60kW rated
2 2 2 2

input. Ventilation grilles shall be designed to minimize high velocity airstreams in the boiler house. For exposed, i.e. free standing boiler houses where low and high level ventilation openings are provided, the openings shall be on at least two sides. For natural draught boilers installed in basement, underground or similarly sited boiler houses where communication with the outside air is possible only by means of high level openings, and it is not intended or possible to use a purpose designed ventilation system as described above, the inlet air shall be conducted to low level by means of ducting of cross-sectional area not less than the total free area of this inlet air opening. High and low level ventilation shall not be provided by means of single duct. Where a boiler, or boilers, is to be installed in a balanced compartment, the balanced compartment is a method of installing an appliance, or appliances, in a closed compartment and arranging the flueing and ventilation so that some of the advantages of a balanced-flue effect are achieved. 27-1.03 Mechanical Ventilation Minimum quantity of air required for combustion and boiler house ventilation shall be supplied at a minimum flow rate in accordance with the information below by means of a fan. Where the associated air extraction is also be means of a fan, the minimum flow rates of air supplies and extracted shall be in accordance with information below. Any fan installed for extraction purposes shall not cause a negative pressure (relative to the outside atmosphere) to develop in the boiler house. The inlet fan capacity shall be such as to provide the minimum air flow specified for combustion and ventilation. The extraction fan capacity shall provide the minimum ventilation rate specified. Where the associated ventilation discharge is provided my means of simple openings relying on thermal effects, the minimum free areas of the openings and any associated grille shall be as specified for natural ventilation. Such openings shall be at high level with the inlet air supplied at low level. All air inlet and extract fans shall be fitted with automatic controls causing safety shutdown or lockout of the boiler(s) in the event of the inlet or extract air flow failing. Basis for the requirements are: A. A heat release into the boiler house of 3% of the boiler(s) input B. A loss through the boiler house structure of 0.045kW / m of boiler house volume 3 (assuming a minimum volume if 20m per 350kW boiler input) C. That the sizes of ventilation openings given allow for an approximate rise in temperature in the boiler house of 28kW and are the minimum areas necessary to maintain good combustion and an acceptable atmosphere within a boiler house that contains no other heat emitting plant D. Where the conditions on A. or B. do not prevail, it is the responsibility of the installation engineer to ensure that the provision for ventilation is adequate to maintain the boiler house ambient temperature in accordance with the temperatures outlined above.

APPENDIX A
In general it is undesirable, and in a growing number of countries unlawful, for anyone who provides goods, facilities and services (service provider) to discriminate against people with disabilities. Discrimination can occur in two ways: 1. By treating people with disabilities less favorably, and for a disability-related reason, than people who are not disabled; 2. By failing to comply with the need to make reasonable adjustments. Discrimination will not occur in either case if the reason for different treatment or failure to make a reasonable adjustment is not justified. This means that a service provider should not refuse the service; nor provide a lesser standard of service, nor offer services on worse terms to a people with disabilities for a non-justifiable, disability-related reason. Service providers must make reasonable adjustments so as to provide equality of service. They can: Change practices, policies or procedures that make it impossible or unreasonably difficult for disabled people to use a service; Provide auxiliary aids or services that would make it easier for or enable disabled people to use a service; or Overcome physical features (e.g., one arising from the design or construction of an existing building or the approach or access to premises) that make it impossible or unreasonably difficult for people with disabilities to use a service (physical features duty) by providing the service at a reasonable alternative method. Service providers can expect to have additional duties in respect to physical features that make it impossible or unreasonably difficult for people with disabilities to use their services. They may have to overcome the difficulty caused by the feature by taking reasonable steps to: 1. Remove it; or 2. Alter it; or 3. Provide a reasonable means of avoiding it; or 4. Provide a reasonable alternative method of making the service available to disabled persons. Increasingly governments are requiring the needs of people with disabilities to be taken into account in the construction of non-domestic buildings. These needs are concerned with access and facilities for people with disabilities and require reasonable provision to be made to allow people with disabilities to use non-domestic premises. Generally this means that reasonable provision must be made to allow universal access to and use of non-domestic buildings. Reasonable provision must be made for toilets to be universally accessible and where there is audience or spectator seating adequate wheelchair spaces must be provided. A service provider includes anyone providing a free or paid service directly to the general public e.g. hotels, shops. For services and facilities providers it is undesirable or unlawful: 1. To refuse to serve persons with disabilities for a reason that relates to the disability. 2. To offer a substandard service to people with disabilities. 3. To provide a service on different terms. The service provider must consider the following when making reasonable adjustments to accommodate persons with disabilities: 1. Changes to practices, policies and procedures should ensure that they do not make it impossible or unreasonably difficult for people with disabilities to access the goods, service or facility.
262
APPENDIX A
2. Providing auxiliary aids and services that will offer additional help or assistance to enable people with disabilities to make use of a services or facility. 3. Making the service accessible by other means. This applies if the service is physically inaccessible to people with disabilities. 4. If, by serving people with disabilities, the service provider is unable to serve others, therefore preventing the service from being provided at all. 5. If, in order to serve people with disabilities and other members of the public, it is necessary to provide the service on different terms or at a different standard or manner.

APPENDIX B
Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) The purpose of an LCCA is to compare the overall costs of project alternatives and to select the design that ensures the facility will provide the lowest overall cost of ownership. The LCCA should be performed early in the design process while there is still a chance to refine the design to ensure a reduction in lifecycle costs (LCC). The first and most challenging task of an LCCA, or any economic evaluation method, is to determine the economic effects of alternative designs of buildings and building systems and to quantify these effects and express them in monetary amounts. Costs There are numerous costs associated with acquiring, operating, maintaining, and disposing of a building or building system. Building-related costs usually fall into the following categories: Initial Costs Purchase, Acquisition, Construction Costs Energy Costs Water costs Operation, Maintenance, and Repair Costs Replacement Costs Residual Values, i.e. Resale or Salvage Values or Disposal Costs
Only those costs within each category that are relevant to the decision and significant in amount are needed to make a valid investment decision. Costs are relevant when they are different for one alternative compared with another; costs are significant when they are large enough to make a credible difference in the LCC of a project alternative. All costs are entered as base-year amounts in today's currency value. Energy and Water Costs Operational expenses for energy, water, and other utilities are based on consumption, current rates, and price projections. Energy usage: Energy costs are often difficult to predict accurately in the design phase of a project. Assumptions must be made about use profiles, occupancy rates, and schedules, all of which impact energy consumption. (Software packages, such as the proprietary programs TRACE (Trane), ESPRE (EPRI), and HAP (Carrier) have been developed to assist in mechanical equipment selection and sizing). Energy prices: Quotes of current energy prices from local suppliers should take into account the rate type, the rate structure, summer and winter differentials, block rates, and demand charges to obtain an estimate as close as possible to the actual energy cost. Energy price inflation: Energy prices are assumed to increase or decrease at a rate different from general price inflation. This differential energy price escalation needs to be taken into account when estimating future energy costs. Provide the basis of the energy escalation as part of the documentation. Water Costs: Water costs should be included similar to energy costs. There are usually two types of water costs: water usage costs and water disposal costs. Operation, Maintenance, and Repair Costs Non-fuel operating costs, maintenance and repair (OM&R) costs are often more difficult to estimate than other building expenditures. Operating schedules and standards of maintenance vary from hotel to
264
APPENDIX B
hotel; there is great variation in these costs even for hotels of the same type and age. It is therefore especially important to use engineering judgment when estimating these costs. Supplier quotes and published estimating guides sometimes provide information on maintenance and repair costs. Very often the life cycle costs of an HVAC system over a 30-year period could be split into 50% energy cost, 4.7% maintenance cost, 2.3% replacement cost, 43% initial investment cost. These values are of course only for indicative purposes as systems may vary. Replacement Costs The number and timing of capital replacements of building systems depend on the estimated life of the system and the length of the study period. Use the same sources that provide cost estimates for initial investments to obtain estimates of replacement costs and expected useful lives. A good starting point for estimating future replacement costs is to use their cost as of the base date. The LCCA method will escalate base-year amounts to their future time of occurrence. Parameters for Present-Value Analysis Discount Rate: In order to be able to add and compare cash flows that are incurred at different times during the life cycle of a project, they must be made time-equivalent. To make cash flows timeequivalent, the LCC method converts them to present values (PV) by discounting them to a common point in time, usually the base date. The discount rate used in the calculation shall be agreed upon with HHC. Cost Periods(s) Length of study period: The study period begins with the base date, the date to which all cash flows are discounted. The study period has to be the same for all alternatives considered. It is recommended that a 20-year study period be used for comparison. Service period: The service period begins when a system is taken into service. This is the period over which operational costs and benefits are evaluated. It is recommended that a 20 year service period be used for comparison purposes. Treatment of Inflation: The rate of general inflation is not being considered in this case. Life-Cycle Cost Calculation After identifying all costs by year and amount and discounting them to present value, they are added to arrive at total life-cycle costs for each alternative. The table below is a worksheet that can be used to arrive at the overall Life Cycle Cost, based on the following formulae: PVEC = AE x (1 + ei) OC = AW + AM + O&R + ELD n-1 PVOC = OC x (1 + i) PVAC = PVEC + PVOC
