Implementation of ASHRAE Guideline 36 Control Logic into Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL)’s Flexible Research Platform (FRP)
- Oak Ridge National Lab. (ORNL), Oak Ridge, TN (United States)
This report presents the initial field test procedure and results for ASHRAE Guideline 36 control logic. The US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL’s) two-story Flexible Research Platform (FRP-2) was selected as a test building. The rooftop unit (RTU) system serves as the building’s primary cooling system, and each variable air volume (VAV) box with an electric reheat coil serves as the building’s heating system along with RTU gas furnace. In this study, the control for the RTU and VAV box adopted the practical control sequences from ASHRAE Guideline 36-2018: High-Performance Sequences of Operation. Each story of the FRP-2 building has 5 office zones (thermal zones), for a total of 10 zones.
