Focus of 2011 Competition and Requirements

HVAC Systems Design

• For students who have attended 1-2 HVAC courses• Focuses on "right-sizing" HVAC equipment and systems to

provide an energy-efficient design for the facility• Students are required to determine heating and cooling

loads, and design an HVAC system • Students must demonstrate compliance with ASHRAE

Standards:– 55-2004– 62.1-2007– 90.1- 2007

HVAC Systems Selection

• For students at schools completing a dedicated HVAC or building environmental systems curriculum

• The project encourages students with a solid HVAC base to:– use life-cycle cost process– incorporate ASHRAE Standard 189.1-2009 - Standard for the Design of

High-Performance Green Buildings– Incorporate US Green Building Council's LEED™ Rating System or

equivalent

Integrated Sustainable Building Design (ISBD)

• For a multidisciplinary team to include students in engineering, architecture, technology, and other allied fields

• Teams are asked to design a sustainable or “net zero” energy building

• Students will be asked to document select LEED credits (or an equivalent) measure the design

• Emphasis on whole-building design:– integrating architectural, construction, mechanical, electrical and

other technical disciplines
