ASHRAE Wisconsin Chapter

The 2013-14 ASHRAE season kicks off September 19th at Joey Buona’s (500 N Water)

Registration and Social are from 5:30 to 6 PM. The presentation will run from 6:00 to 7.

Speaker Jim Coogan of Siemens joins us to present a seminar on control loops; from the most basic concepts to advanced control algorithms. The talk will emphasize fundamentals and their applications across a diverse range of systems. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of controller accuracy, stability, and how to attain them; as well as instability, errors, and how to avoid them. Consulting engineers can specifically expect to gain insight regarding specifying, achieving, and documenting control loop performance. Installers and users should leave with a better understanding of the principles of operation for a basic control system.

Please register in advance.

Commissioning can lead to energy savings—often 60% or more
Daylighting control—or daylight harvesting—has become a common energy-saving strategy in sustainable building design. A recent Energy Center project set out to determine existing levels of success with daylighting control, achieved savings and missed opportunities. Our findings demonstrate that successful implementation of automatic daylighting control requires a significant commissioning effort to reach full energy-savings potential.
