"Provides a summary of what is understood within ASHRAE about dampness-related health risks in buildings along with suggestions for HVAC system designers that can help avoid such risks as well as a simple and easily recognizable description of dampness that is sufficient to increase the probability of negative health effects and practical quantitative tools and techniques that can alert managers to the risk of a building or an indoor space becoming damp to an extent that affects health in the future"--

Health care HVAC systems serve facilities in which the population is uniquely vulnerable and exposed to an elevated risk of health, fire, and safety hazard. These heavily regulated, high-stakes facilities undergo continuous maintenance, verification, inspection, and recertification, typically operate 24/7, and are owner occupied for long life. The HVAC systems in health care facilities must be carefully designed to be installed, operated and maintained in coordination with specialized buildings services, including emergency and normal power, plumbing and medical gas systems, automatic transport, fire protections and a myriad of IT systems, all within a limited building envelope.

Sustainable design, global warming, depleting fuel reserves, energy use, and operating cost are becoming increasingly more important. These issues are even more important in datacom equipment centers for reasons such as: Large, concentrated use of energy (can be 100 times the watts per square foot of an office building). 24/7 operations have about three times the annual operating hours as other commercial properties. The intent of this publication is to provide the reader with detailed information on the design of datacom facilities that will aid in minimizing the life-cycle cost to the client and to maximize energy efficiency in a facility to align with ASHRAE's stated direction to lead the advancement of sustainable building design and operations.This book covers many aspects of datacom facility energy efficiency, including chapters on the topics of environmental criteria, mechanical equipment and systems, economizer cycles, airflow distribution, HVAC controls and energy management, electrical distribution equipment, datacom equipment efficiency, liquid cooling, total cost of ownership, and emerging technologies. There are also appendices on such topics as facility commissioning, operations and maintenance, and telecom facility experiences. The primary changes for this second edition center on the updated environmental envelope and relate to the recommended temperatures at the inlets of the equipment operating in datacom facilities. This book is the sixth in the ASHRAE Datacom Series, authored by ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.9, Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment. This series provides comprehensive treatment of datacom cooling and related subjects.

This book provides readers with essential knowledge enabling the successful design of today's new energy efficient HVAC systems. The author introduces important concepts such as Knowledge Categorization, Performance Based Design Standards, and Quantification of Uncertainty in Energy Modeling for Buildings. Pivotal topics that all HVAC and architectural engineers must master in order to navigate the green building renaissance are given focused attention, including the role of renewables, air quality, automatic controls, and thermal comfort. Relevant ASHRAE standards, as well as sustainability scoring systems such as BREEAM, HQE, LEED and CASBEE are explained in depth. Armed with the material contained in this practical reference, students and practitioners alike will become more effective and prepared for engineering success.
