1.1 Optimization of existing BMS

ECM 01 Optimization of existing BMS

Building Mubadala Tower

Type of ESM Control & Monitoring

Site Observation (Existing Condition)

During WTA study observed in Mubadala Tower, 6 no’s of AHU’s don’t have VFD and
CHWP circuit 2 having 2 pumps, one pump is running at full speed which is not working
based on the DPT logic.

 All 6 AHUs are operating at full speed without any control logic.
 All AHU’s, Fresh air supply duct doesn’t have any damper and actuator and it’s fully
open.
 There is no control of fresh air in the space area. Fresh air damper control is not
based on CO2 level.
 CHWP circuit 2 serving high rise tower from level 26 to roof which have 2 nos of
pump in that circuit, one pump VFD is operating at full speed (50 Hz) which is not
based on the DPT logic i.e.; pumps speeds are not varying with respect to building
load

ESM Description & Proposed Solution

The proposed BMS optimization includes:

 Installation of new VFDs to 6 Nos AHUs and integrate with existing Honeywell EBI
BMS.
 Control the AHUs fan speed based on return air temperature and damper control
based on the CO2 sensor as per demand.
 Limiting of fresh air mixing in recirculation AHUs based on return duct CO2 sensor.
 Optimisation of equipment operation through time schedules and VFD limits and
cooling demands through summer and winter seasonal set points.
 Installation and calibration of new DPT sensor for CHWP circuit 2
 Implement the sequence of operation of pumps to achieve the DPT logic setpoint
and to automate the pump control based on cooling load.
 The system will be integrated with Enova Hub grade IoT platform for ensuring better
visibility and performance.
Rationale for using this ESM
 As per the Fan’s affinity law, modulating fan speed based on temperature.This will
improve the fan efficiency as per cooling demand.
 Modulating fresh air damper based on CO2 sensor to optimise fresh air temperature
and hence it will reduce the cooling load.
 Integration of existing chilled water pump VFDs with new BMS to automate the pump
control based DPT logic w.r.t cooling load.
 Based on above WTA study of AHU’s It observed that VFDs are not installed and
running at fixed speed.
 Based on above WTA study, AHUs loading factor is consider for baseline and saving
calculation.
 Any change in loading factors and operation hours, ESM baseline will adjust as per
the M & V Plan.

ESM Scope of work

 Supply and installation of new VFD’s, sensors, dampers & actuators, controllers and
IO modules.
 Testing and commissioning of equipment control sequence based on the approved
SOO.

ECM 02 Supply and Installation of heat pumps at selected locations

Building Mubadala Tower, ADIC, Fourseasons & Rosewood

Type of ESM Heating

Site Observation (Existing Condition)

Mubadala tower :
 Two numbers of electric hot water calorifiers (95 kW, 1 W +1S) use to serve hot water
for the domestic application in the Mubadala tower. It is working based on temperature
set point given from local control panel.
 Three numbers of electrical pool heaters (60 kW + 60kW + 30kW) are used to
maintain the temperature in swimming pool & spa in Mubadala tower

ADIC
 Six numbers of electric hot water calorifiers (90 kW, 4 W +2S) use to serve hot water
for the domestic application in the ADIC. It is working based on temperature set point
given from local control panel.

Fourseasons
 Two numbers of CNG based hot water boiler (1500 kW, 1 W +1 S) use to serve hot
water for the domestic application in the Fourseasons Hotel. It is working based on
temperature set point given from local control panel.

Rosewood
 Four numbers of electric hot water calorifiers (116kW- 2 Nos, 1 W+1S) & (140 kW-2
Nos, 1 W +1S) use to serve hot water for the domestic application in the Rosewood
Hotel. It is working based on temperature set point given from local control panel.

ESM Description & Proposed Solution

 Installation of heat pump for hot water generation instead of electric calorifiers or CNG
boiler will reduce energy consumption, this is because of the higher efficiency of heat
pumps compared to the poor electric/CNG gas hot water boilers efficiency.
 Vapour compression cycle if reversed acts as a heat pump, with condenser as main
heating source. It boils the refrigerant and rejects the heat to the adjacent fluids at
lower temperature.
Rationale for using this ESM
 Existing hot water calorifier are operating by electrical heater/CNG and recommended
to use Heat pumps

 Based on WTA study analysis at Mubadala tower, ADIC, Fourseasons & Rosewood
hot water calorifiers,

For Mubadala Tower

 Hot water calorifier actual thermal load is less than 50% load (<50 kW), So accordingly
consider 50 kW capacity water to water heat pump which including one working & one
standby condition.

 Swimming pool heater actual thermal is less than 40% load (<45 kW), So accordingly
consider 45 kW capacity Air to water heat pump which including one working & one
standby condition.

For ADIC

 Hot water calorifier actual thermal load is less than 40% load (<150 kW), So
accordingly consider 165 kW capacity water to water heat pump which including one
working & one standby condition.

For FOURSEASONS

 Hot water boiler actual thermal load is less than 10% load (<150 kW), So accordingly
consider 165 kW capacity water to water heat pump which including one working &
one standby condition.

For ROSEWOOD

 Hot water electrical calorifier actual thermal load is less than 40% load (<150 kW), So
accordingly consider 165 kW capacity water to water heat pump which including one
working & one standby condition.
  Based on above WTA study analysis, Hot water calorifier loads, loading factor
consider for ESM Heat pumps baseline and saving calculation.

 Any change in loading factors and operation hours, ESM baseline will adjust as per
the M & V Plan.

Site Observation (Existing Condition)

During the site visit, it was observed following sites having constant speed air cooled screw
chillers & were not operating efficiently.
 2 Nos Mcquay make – 150 TR chillers (1 W+1S) are serving chilled water to ADIC
council building for critical loads

 2 Nos Mcquay make – 150 TR chillers (1 W+1S) are serving chilled water to ADIC
Bank building for critical loads

ECM Description & Proposed Solution

 New chillers are versed with modern technology and control optimizations compared to
the older versions.
 In competitive market, considering energy efficiency (kW/TR), new chillers are easy to
monitor, control and optimize, compared to the older versions. The new compressors also
perform efficiently compared to the old ones due to depreciation and erosion throughout
the years of operation.

Fig: Twin Screw Refrigerant compressor.

 The Old chillers are subject to fouling; filter clogging, corrosions on the shell and the tube
side, erosions of the insulations, which reduces the efficiency drastically compared to the
new chillers.

Fig: Tube side of old chiller (with scale and sludge formation) compared to a new chiller.
Rationale for using this ECM
 By replacing the old air-cooled chillers with new air-cooled chiller the specific energy
consumption of the chillers will be brought down.
 VFD in chillers match the load requirement and generation, to consume least power for
same chilling load.
ECM Scope of work
 Decommissioning of chillers.
 Installation, integration, testing & commissioning of new chillers.

For cooling tower, following two activities has performed by operation team, i.e.,
3) Chemical dosing to maintain the desired water parameters like PH, Conductivity, etc.,
4) Continuous blowdown to maintain the sump water TDS below 1500 PPM.

Cooling towers make up water consumption is manually monitoring and logging by operation team
on daily basis.
ESM Description & Proposed Solution
Chemical less treatment eliminates/ reduces chemical dosing in the cooling tower. As the scales
removed physically into the Electrolytic reactor, it is possible to operate cooling tower at higher
levels of TDS or conductivity, resulting into reduction of cooling tower blow down water
consumption.

Rationale for using this ESM

(IAQ) levels, and achieves the optimum comfort level for the occupants without
compromising energy.
 Moreover, BMS shall provide as a single workstation in the facility, through which each
equipment connected can be properly monitored and controlled without manual operation
from field unless there is a real issue which shall trigger an alarm in the BMS. BMS has a
significant contribution in energy saving as it controls and optimizes HVAC equipment
based on the actual building thermal load and occupancy running hours.
 Night setback for the chilled water pump speed and chilled water supply water
temperature which shall reduce load during off seasons and favourable climatic
conditions.

temperature and supply air temperature respectively as per demand.
 Optimisation of equipment operation through time schedules and VFD limits and cooling
demands through summer and winter seasons.
 Implementation of new chiller plant manager.
 The system will be able to provide the features of trending, diagnostics, and alarm reporting
for connected equipment, decreasing maintenance issues and reduces the electric energy
consumption.
 The system shall be integrated with Enova Hub grade IoT platform for ensuring better
visibility and performance.
 The control logic for variable primary system VPS (ECM-4) integration with new BMS
 ECM-4: Variable primary conversion system (VPS) with bypass pipeline modifications from
existing constant primary & variable secondary system.
Rationale for using this ESM
The approach of the BMS will include but not limited the following operations:
 Modulating the cooling coil valves for air-side equipment based on temperature further

  As per the Fan’s affinity law, modulating fan speed based on temperature will improve the
fan efficiency.
 User defined equipment run-time,temperature setpoint and VFD limits which shall be
schedulable through the time of the day and through winter and summer.
 VPS- Based on number chiller plant operation, minimum flow need to maintain across the
chiller plant and same will monitored by online flow meter, in case in deviation flow or less
flow. modulating valve in bypass line will modulate to maintain the minimum flow
requirement.

HVAC – AHUs and FAHUs
Type of ESM

Site Observation (Existing Condition)

Existing selected AHUs and FAHUs don’t have VFD’s. Following AHUs/FAHUs units operate
at maximum speed.
 Mubadala Tower :6 Nos Units
 Strata: 4 Nos Units.

Mubadala Tower and Strata (AHU/FAHUs):

 Based on WTA study of AHUs/FAHUs, It observed that motor are not integrated with
any control logic and running at fixed speed.

 Based on above WTA study, AHUs/FAHUs loading factor is consider for baseline and
saving calculation.

 Any change in loading factors and operation hours, ESM baseline will adjust as per
the M & V Plan.

ESM Description & Proposed Solution

 The proposed solution involves installing VFDs to ensure optimal performance. The
typical scope of works includes the following steps:
 Assessment and Design: An initial assessment conducted to determine the
appropriate motor, and configuration.
 Testing and Commissioning: The entire system is thoroughly tested and
commissioned to ensure proper functionality, performance, and efficiency.
 Installing VFD for large fan motors (above 4 KW) to control the fan air flow rate will
enhance building thermal comfort and will save energy through lowering fan motor
speed.
 As the air conditioning system designed in constant air volume (CAV) concept, our
methodology for controlling the VFD speed will be based on the return air
temperature values for mixing type AHUs though installing temperature sensors.
FAHUs will control using supply air duct temperature to serving space(s) which will
indicate the amount of cooling requirements and treated fresh air for the serving
areas.
 The newly installed VFDs will install in constant speed fresh air handling units. For
the constant speed air handling units VFD will operate based on the Supply air
temperature/ return air temperature and will connect to the BMS to monitor and
remotely control the air flow based on the time schedule / seasonal demand.
Rationale for using this ESM

Installation of VFDs significantly reduce energy consumption.

ESM Scope of work

 The typical scope of work is the installation of VFD’s for selected AHU’s and
FAHUs.
 Procurement and installation of new VFD.
 Integration of advanced control systems for efficient operation.
 Through testing, commissioning, and performance verification.
 Operator training to ensure proper utilization and maintenance of the new VFD.
