Energy Model for Children's Research Center

Posted by Alec McKay on February 1, 2022

The following email chain describes Professor Yi requesting energy data and building layout.

Professor Yi also notes a student's report on the Children's Research Center Building (which is attached below).

Hi All,

 

Hope you had a nice break. I like to update you on building modeling.

We have four Energyplus (DesignBuilder) models that I can share with you.

 

I had to review the model made by students to make sure they are close to the actual building.

Currently, I am adding detailed HVAC systems to the model that can be more realistic.

 

Would you like to get access to the file? I can share the folder with you all. Also, would you like to discuss the next step?

Here is one of a report done by a student. 

 

 

Best

Yun

Hi Morgan,

 

Thanks to your help, today my class was able to site visit the new Campus Instructional Facility building and new Mech. building.

Here is a photo of today's visit. Students learned a lot today and I got great feedback today.

 

Also, I like to discuss some findings from initial energy modeling.

The BNAACC building is one of the buildings that we are analyzing the energy consumption data. While we compare meter data to energy consumption from simulation results. We observed that the electricity meter is projecting energy consumption exponentially higher than what an average building of such size should be consuming.

 

I am not sure this building is still in calibration on meter data or something but I will advise having the meter checked. If you need I can send you some of our findings or talk further on this.

 

 

Best

Yun

Hi Morgan,

 

It will be good to get basic drawings like floor plans, elevations, and more specific drawings like HVAC schedule, zoning, section detail, etc.

 

Many thanks

Yun

Hi Yun,

 

I need to know what building documents you are seeking.  What specifically do you want to see?

 

Thanks,

Morgan

Hi Marge

 

I am wondering if we can get these buildings' documents before the semester starts.

I can ask TA to go over the documents and select documents that need for the class.

So that we can reduce the number of documents to get approval.

 

Also, I send an email related to meter data. 

The Excel file doesn’t have units, could you help me what units were used for the meters.

 

 

Many thanks

Yun

Hi Tony,

 

We need to provide historical energy data to Professor Yi for his work with us this fall to create building energy models for selected buildings on campus, in his Architecture class.

 

Can you please have someone on your team provide monthly energy data for the following buildings for the last five years, FY20 to FY16?  Also, if hourly data is available, please provide hourly data for these same buildings for the one year of FY19.

 

·       Personnel Services Building

·       Speech and Hearing Building

·       Children’s Research Center

·       Bruce Nesbitt African American Cultural Center.

 

I have created a folder for the related files in Box, which you can access at https://uofi.box.com/s/uc18bm30ysb6fxk7q0e0iwy3hnav99lq.  We would appreciate receiving this information by the end of July, if possible.

 

Thank you,

Morgan
