Welcome to ASHRAE Toronto Chapter

  

Greetings!

 

We have 8 Chapter monthly meetings, from October to May each year.

 

This month, in December, we have our special Decemberfest at our Toronto's own historical Distillery District. This is the only meeting in the year that is not technical in nature. So, come out and invite your significant other, spouse, companion and non-engineering type friends or clients to enjoy a fun evening together. Show them that we can be fun without HVAC&R in our minds; celebrate the end of 2011 and welcome 2012.

 

I am also very excited to inform you that our Chapter is planning to improve and change the format of our monthly Gazette in the New Year. Please stay tune for this exciting new look.

 

We also have planned a special Technical Breakfast Session on "ASHRAE Standard 90.1" to counter the non technical event in December so Chapter members can keep up to date with Standard 90.1-2010 Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings . Please join us on December 12th, 2011 at Delta Chelsea Hotel.

 

If you are planning to attend the ASHRAE Society Winter Meeting in Chicago, January 21-25th, 2012, please register, reserve your room and book your flight. There is so much to see and learn when you get there.

 

Thank you.

 

Happy Holiday.

 

Michael Khaw, P. Eng,   

Toronto Chapter President.

DECEMBERFEST 2011


 

Distillery District Current

Join us as we end our series of ASHRAE Toronto 2011 Dinner Meetings in style while enjoying a fine dining experience in one of Toronto's most historic neighbourhoods. Come celebrate as the ASHRAE Toronto Chapter hosts its first EVER event at this elegant, historical Distillery District. As the nature of this meeting is non-technical, it is an ideal venue for our members and affiliated guests to bring along their spouses, significant others, family and friends. This will remain an unforgettable experience and we'd love for you to join us in closing off 2011.


The History...

 

As the Toronto Star says: "To enter The Distillery is to step back into an era of horse-drawn carts, windmills and sailing ships". One can only marvel at the authentic exterior restoration that was achieved. But it is when you step inside the buildings that you truly realize the magnitude of what was accomplished.

Distillery District Old 

 

What you will find is a dramatic fusion of old and new. An inspired blend of Victorian Industrial architecture and stunning 21st century design and creativity. The result is an internationally acclaimed village of one-of-a-kind stores, shops, galleries, studios, restaurants, cafes, theatres and more.

The Distillery District is a national Historic Site with an incredibly rich history. The site was once The Gooderham and Worts Distillery, and represents the largest and best preserved collection of Victorian Industrial Architecture in North America.
 
In its time, The Gooderham and Worts Distillery played an important role in the growth and wealth of both the city and nation. In addition to various involvements in real estate and banking, the company at one time contributed more to Federal coffers than any other enterprise in the country.

Pricing & Reservations

 

The Cannery Room is limited to a maximum of 60 people for the evening. Registration for this event will close on December 1st, 2011. The member rate (all grades) is $80 and guest rate is $95. Rates are in CAD and include HST. Dinner will include an exquisite 3 course meal and one (alcoholic) beverage. A menu will be released shortly.

 

Thank you for supporting ASHRAE Toronto. We look forward to seeing you at Decemberfest 2011.

Technical Tour and Presentation RBC Centre - The Mitchell Partnership Inc.

Technical Presentation on Displacement Ventilation and Underfloor Design

E.H. Price

Toronto ASHRAE November's dinner meeting featured a technical tour to the RBC Centre led by James B. Hannaford P.Eng from TMP Consulting Engineers, followed by a technical presentation on Displacement Ventilation and under floor design for HVAC systems presented by Julian Rimmer P.Eng from E.H. Price.

Technical Tour & Presentation RBC Centre by James B. Hannaford P.Eng from TMP

The RBC Centre officially opened its doors in October 2009. It is a 1.2-million sq ft, 43-storey, office building located on the southwest corner of Wellington and Simcoe Streets, across from Roy Thomson Hall. The typical floor plate is 24,500-26,400 sq.ft. RBC Centre was designed to achieve LEED NC Gold.

The tour started in the basement where the Enwave District Water Energy Transfer Station is located. With a capacity of 4,800 tonnes, the key point of using this system is that the chilled water flow has to match the building loads. The owner is contracted to give back water at the design temperature, so that the building does not waste the pumping capacity of the district system. RBC has variable speed pumps in a redundancy arrangement and a low flow pump for the evening when the loads are smaller.

The building heating system uses Enwave District Steam connected to three flooded shell and plate heat exchangers that are more energy efficient than the traditional shell and tube heat exchangers when converting steam to heating water.

On the 11th floor is one of the building's three main mechanical rooms, which contains one of the buildings ventilation air handling systems. The system uses a pre-coil - re-coil arrangement connected to the chilled water system which acts as a water-side economiser. Constant volume pumps are used to protect the coils from freezing with a hydraulic bridge to allow for variable flow through the system.

The tour visited the 37th floor, which is one of the multiple tenant floors. Ductwork from the on-floor compartment unit is used within the raised floor to distribute the air to all areas of the floor within 45 feet of the envelope.

All the floors have a CO2 sensor in the return that determines how much ventilation air flows into the floor plate. General exhaust fans have variable frequency drives and adjust flow rates to maintain building pressurization. Ventilation, general exhaust and washroom exhaust systems are grouped together.

One important advantage of using under floor ventilation is that the occupants can have ownership of their space. They will have manual diffusers (terminals) in their cubicles which allow them to adjust the airflow by twisting the grille. For common areas (cafeterias, meeting rooms) automatic diffusers will be used.

UFAD systems operate with warmer supply temperatures than traditional overhead air systems. Although they may deliver more air due to the warmer supply air, the UFAD system uses less fan transport energy because the system operates with less static pressure.

Technical presentation on Displacement Ventilation and underfloor design for HVAC systems presented by Julian Rimmer P.Eng from E.H. Price

The technical theme for the evening was Displacement Ventilation and underfloor design for HVAC systems. Displacement Ventilation systems provide a very high level of thermal comfort. The air supplied to the room is warmer and introduced at a lower velocity than a typical mixing system, reducing the risk of drafts and discomfort.

The main benefits of these systems are:

  • Flexibility: heat sources can be moved around the room.
  • Thermal Plumes: create temperature stratification, carry contaminants from the breathing zone and improve Indoor Air Quality.
  • Energy Savings: lower fan static pressure, potential for reduced air volumes, increased chiller efficiency and economizer use.

The locations that would experience the greatest benefit from Displacement Ventilation systems are very large open areas such as auditoriums, theatres, airports and convention centers. However, these systems can be used anywhere and the benefits from energy and indoor air quality are applicable to almost every market, being schools probably the largest market.

Displacement ventilation is a stratified system, and as such, controlling stratification in the occupied zone is critical to maintaining occupant comfort.

Different measures are available when designing displacement ventilation systems, including Draft - ASHRAE 55.2007 - ISO 7730, SET (Standard Effective Temperature) ASHRAE 55.2010 and Adjacent Temperature - Scandinavian standard.

The standard measure of comfort is draft which depends on local air temperature, local air speed and turbulence intensity. The downside of this measure is that it is conservative, largely based on neck comfort and does not make correction for room influences

The Research Project 949 "System Performance Evaluation and Guidelines for displacement ventilation" provides the designer with tools to better estimate the influence of occupants and loads in the design of displacement diffusers. The project includes best practices in terms of layout and the procedure to calculate the temperature and air flow required. It also indicates that in most cases a face velocity of around 40 feet per minute is necessary and that the total surface area of the diffuser can be calculated dividing the volume by the face velocity.

The face velocity depends on the application and some areas may tolerate a higher one. For instance, in industrial areas the face velocity is not critical as people are wearing heavy boots. In other cases, the designer will need to define the face velocity and then use simulation tools to predict the optimal comfort.

ASHRAE comfort standards state that the draft risk must be low enough such that there are less than 20% percent of people dissatisfied in a room. Designers/engineers must account for diffuser placement and room stratification to ensure that ASHRAE standards are met.

I would like to give you a little history of the ASHRAE Toronto Chapter as I know it, and please let me know if the points I list have to be corrected.

 

 

In 1922 the first official meeting was held on May 9. At that time there was no Toronto Chapter it was know as "The Ontario Chapter", the meeting of ASH & VE. (American Society of Heating & Ventilation Engineers). The First Chapter president was M.F Thomas, and President Elect was H. H. Angus. The Ontario Chapter was the first chapter outside the boundaries of continental United States. It was the seventh Chapter within the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers.

 

There was steady growth in membership across all Chapters in the years that followed and in 1963 there were 10 Canadian Chapters. By 1977 there were 13 Chapters of record and in 1987 the Mississauga Chapter was to be added. (It later closed and members joined existing Hamilton & Toronto Chapters). We had for a short time a "Northern Section", a break off group from the Toronto Chapter which held their own meetings and was located in Sudbury. Unfortunately the drop in attendance caused them to close down.

 

 

For many years the monthly meetings were held at the "Inn on the Park" located at Leslie and Eglinton Ave. After great debate and fear that we would lose membership if we changed the meetings we relocated to the "Park Plaza Hotel" located at University and Bloor St. Then, like everything new, Chapter Executives wanted a change so the meetings were moved to the "Novotel Hotel" in North York.

 

 

The meetings in the past were held at the same venue every month and the only additions were the tours which were located around the city. In 2000 the meetings started to move around the city, as the years proceeded there were more and more meetings located in the four regions of the GTA and not at a central place all the time. With this change in meeting locations there was a greater attendance at the meetings and the tours added by the committees also brought out members we had not seen in past years.

 

We have a great turn out from our student population from the Universities and Colleges that have Student Branches of the Toronto Chapter. We also have been sponsoring tours and trips for the students and in past years and we now have "Career Day" for the students to help with job placements.

 

We have had quite a few Distinguished Speakers from Society and local industries, as well as famous or infamous speakers like Dr. David Suzuki, and Mr. Jack Layton.

Being a member of Region II we attend a Chapter Regional Conference (CRC) every year and this conference is located in each of the Chapter's areas.

 

The Toronto Chapter has had their fair share of these conferences and our next one will be in two years, so make sure you get involved and help. It is a rewarding experience that you will not forget. The contact is Mr. Doug Cochrane, or call the Toronto Chapter we can put you in touch with the right people.

 

Another new addition to the Toronto Chapter was "YEA" (Young Engineers in ASHRAE), a subcommittee that gets together to discuss topics and plan tours that appeal to their interests.

 

Things around the Chapter are always changing and sometimes it is hard to keep up with all the aspects that are changing. We try to keep records of all the events and important dates just in case you are looking for some past history of the Toronto Chapter.

 

If you need some information or have some information that you feel should be included in the Toronto Chapter please send it to me and I will make sure that the information becomes part of our HISTORY.

This Year, Region II (Ontario, Quebec and Maritime ASHRAE Chapters) has a new program to build leadership skills among young members of these chapters. One member from the group of applicants will be selected to attend an event such as YEA Leadership Weekend or a Society Conference. Transportation, registration and accomadation costs will be covered by the Region. Applicants must be ASHRAE members and 35 Years of age or younger. All applications must be received by the deadline of December 9th. To get a copy of this application, please contact me at marc.bertolin@siemens.com

Friday January 20th will be the first YEA social event of the Year. We will be touring a small craft brewery in Toronto called Amsterdam Brewery. Afterwards we will gather to taste some of what we've seen, and catch up at a local establishment. Keep your eyes open for the event announcement in the coming weeks.

I will be looking forward to seeing new and familiar faces at our YEA events this Year. It is important to the Chapter that we as younger members become involved and know that we are the future membership of the ASHRAE Toronto Chapter. We are the future leaders of our industry.

It is also important to ourselves that we meet others within the industry in our age group. It allows us the share experiences, learn from others and build/strengthen our relationships both professional and personal.

Looking forward to the 2012 Year.

On November 16 ASHARE Toronto Chapter participated Student Activity Comity wants to extend appreciation to the George Brown College and its stuff for inviting us to this event, and letting us to inform their students of ASHRAE Society.   in annual Association Fare at George Brown College.

This was a first time when our chapter was a part of this Association Fare. Participants from Student Activity comity were surprised by number of students which was interested in ASHRAE Society and Toronto Chapter. 

Overall our table was approached by more than sixty students from different construction disciplines, majority of whom were from HVAC/HRAC programs. Closer to the end of the fare we had a chance to meet HVAC/HRAC program coordinators and other stuff members from George Brown College, and representatives from other participating societies.

Showcase Topic: Energy Codes Today and Tomorrow

 

An in-depth look at the progression of energy codes over the last several decades culminating with the release of ASHRAE 90.1-2010 and the Ontario Building Code SB-10 requirements. The focusof the presentation will be revolving around the upcoming changes to the Ontario Building Code and increased energy performance requirements that will take effect January 1, 2012 and how it will directly affect the ASHRAE community. We will introduce ASHRAE 189 Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings and energy intensity metrics. These, we believe, provide an indication of regulatory changes that are yet to come.

 


Guest Speaker

 

Lyle Scott
Lyle Scott, P.Eng., LEED AP BD+C

 

Sustainability should no longer be viewed as a separate discipline that is brought in only when a project is already at an advanced stage. For sustainability to be most effective, it should be integrated into every aspect and at every stage of a project. With a background that includes more than 15 years in sustainable design and development as well as facility management and consulting, Lyle has gained a broad perspective on the best sustainability strategies.

 

Lyle has played a key role in a wide range of sustainable design projects. Projects include: Seneca College - Knowledge Infrastructure Facility, Target LEEDŽ Gold, Toronto, ON; Calgary International Airport - International Facilities Building, LEEDŽ Registered, Target Gold Certification, Calgary, AB; Minto Roehampton, First Highrise Multi-Residential Building to Achieve CaGBC LEEDŽ Gold Certification, Toronto, ON; Edmonton Clinic, LEEDŽ Registered, Target Silver, Edmonton, AB; 180 Kent Street - Minto Office Building LEEDŽ Candidate, Targeting Gold Certification, Ottawa, ON; Minto Midtown, Largest Mixed-Use Building to Achieve CaGBC LEEDŽ - NC Gold Certification, Toronto, ON.
