Table 2: Cedars-Sinai exhaust flows. The simplest system configuration (Figure 6a) split the flow equally among the four fans using VAV with bypass air to maintain the 14 158 L/s (30,000 cfm) minimum flow for each fan. Note that bypass air is unconditioned air brought into the exhaust through a damper near the fan inlet on the roof. The second system configuration (Figure 6b) used VAV and staging among the four fans. The system would operate with two fans at the minimum building demand conditions. Adding fans as needed to match demand. Note that all four fans would be used to keep the flow (and exit velocity) per fan as low as possible (but still equal to or greater than the air quality setpoint), providing net energy savings over running three fans at full flow and velocity. The third system configuration (Figure 6c) used VAV, staging and anemometer input to dynamically control exhaust selecting the higher of the air quality setpoint and building demand. In this case, fan flows as low as 11 043 L/s (23,400 cfm) are allowed under certain wind conditions. Since this building was not constructed or occupied, an assumed building load profile was used to predict likely electricity cost savings of the three configurations versus a constant volume system at the full design flow. Manufacturer power curves were used in conjunction with TMY data (National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s Typical Meteorological Year) and a $0.10 per kWh rate. Table 3 shows a respectable annual cost savings of about $100,000 for the VAV systems without an anemometer, increasing to about $120,000 per year for the system with the anemometer.

Wind tunnel studies were conducted for three laboratory buildings at the University of California Santa Barbara: California NanoSystems Institute (CSNI); Marine Sciences Research Building (MSRB);
