60 HPAC | MAY/JUNE 2013 HPACMAG.COM

Is anyone else noticing an alarming rise in the misguided use of com-mercial type range hoods inside res-idential buildings? It has always

been a problem but I have recently taken an unusual number of calls from people asking if their already installed monster-size range hoods are going to be OK.

What do they mean by ‘OK’ I ask? I follow up in my most empathetic voice, “Do you know what happens when you try to Hoover up the inside of your home without considering the ramifi ca-tions of pressure differentials?" “Hmmm mumble mumble…pause…ah no” is what I can hear on the other end.

So once again with my soft spoken demeanour, I ask, “So now you want my advice, after you bought it and had it installed, am I right? You should have asked a professional that question be-fore you became enamoured with the manufacturer’s glossy range hood brochure.”

For those looking for a way to explain it to appliance addicts in a consumer- friendly way, tell them sticking a 1200 cfm exhaust fan into a typical residen-

tial kitchen is not like playing with a hairdryer; it is more like having a home appendectomy with the suction side of an industrial grade leaf blower. In my 40 grit opinion, the subsequent health and building problems created should rest squarely on the appliance manu-facturers and their dealers’ shoulders. We have ignorant range hood sales people supported by their just as naïve range hood marketing departments selling range hoods to “doe-eyed” con-sumers. When it comes to building sci-ence all of them put together do not know a water column from a water dispenser.

The HVAC industry needs to step up and tell these range hood vendors that when you extract way more air than you make up, you are going to create HVAC and indoor air quality problems.

Really, what these hood S & M folks (sales and marketing) need is a simple lesson: when extraction trumps make up, holes and cracks become the con-duit to contamination. Why? Because when it comes to buildings you can al-ways count on the inside wanting out,

and the outside wanting in. Just what do these hood salespeople think is go-ing to come through the cracks when you suck the insides out of a home? According to my conversation with one dealer of hoods, it is all fresh air in those cracks…comments like that give me a headache.

At a time when the federal govern-ment is spending our tax dollars on a coast-to-coast “got bad gas” campaign alerting us to the dangers of having radon – an entire appliance in-dustry is fl ogging kitchen bling that en-ables environmental contaminates like gases and particulate matter to enter structures freely.

To put this problem into perspective take a hypothetical 20' x 30' x 9' (6m x 9.14m x 2.74m) kitchen and let’s play my favourite game of, “what if?” What if that 5400 ft3 (153m3) kitchen was sealed up and the 1200 cfm (0.57m3/s) kitchen exhaust fan activated. It would only take 4.3 minutes (5400 ft3/1200cfm) to remove all the air such that the pressure would approach 0 psia (assuming the home was at sea

48 HPAC | MAY 2014 HPACMAG.COM

The Internet of Everything (IoE) is a worldwide phe-nomenon; in fact, a research report released by Raymond James and Associates earlier this year concluded that every day at least 80 “things” con-

nect to the Internet for the first time every second. James re-ports that by 2020 the number of connecting devices will increase to 250 every second. In the last couple of years the once lowly thermostat has become a prime IoE target be-cause, we are told, many consumers want to be directly con-nected to their HVAC systems.

HVAC control manufacturers are producing lines of resi-dential thermostats that can talk to the internet, the so-called smart thermostat. Seemingly ubiquitous wireless network access means homeowners can monitor their HVAC systems from anywhere in the world. The idea is to help householders manage energy consumption by allowing al-most unlimited management opportunities. However, I noted this disclaimer published by one DIY thermostat manufac-turer: “Usage reduction and savings are not guaranteed and are contingent upon, among other factors, customers taking action on proposed opportunities for optimization.” I would argue that only a professionally designed, installed, commis-sioned and maintained system will provide not just a com-fortable home, but the energy savings consumers want.

System design is crucial, especially when you consider a document such as ASHRAE’s Standard 55, which states that “The comfort of a given individual is affected by many vari-

ables: health, age, gender, clothing, activity, and so on. None of which will be identical for all occupants, thus room condi-tions throughout the building must be provided that will sat-isfy so that the majority of occupants will feel comfortable.” While everyone knows that turning the thermostat down a few degrees at the appropriate time will save some energy, many homeowners have come to accept second-rate heating systems that waste energy during every cycle.

No heat distribution system is perfect. Striving for near perfection should be our goal; remember, providing comfort is the primary job of HVAC. Only a properly designed, properly installed, and correctly commissioned system will provide the energy savings all of us want. The day we got away from a centralized heating plant in favour of convoluted distribu-tion systems is the day comfort and efficiency died. It is ridic-ulous to me that a residence with a forced warm air heating system might require a mini split in the second floor master bedroom to overcome a massive temperature difference be-tween the first and second floor. Even a thermostat with the brain of Watson the supercomputer cannot be expected to save energy in such a situation, of which there are many. In a near perfect situation, room occupants will not be aware of equipment noise, heat level or air motion.

Thus, assuming the residential building was designed with a focus on an efficient central heating system, then it is a great candidate for wireless automated technology.

A very successful man who made his fortune in the smart

>> Snow Melting

SNOW.It is part of nature's beauty, especially in Canada. But for commercial and insti-tutional facilities, it is a

cumbersome winter guest. Building owners and facility manag-ers are well aware of the importance of proper snow removal for safe and easy access, prevention of slip and fall injuries and protection from potential lawsuits.

The conventional methods of snow removal – plowing, shov-eling, salting and sanding – can impose a great financial burden every year. The cost is not just for the labour and materials as-sociated with the removal, but also the wear and tear on the surfaces in and around the structure. Traditional snow-removal methods can even be an environmental challenge if chemicals are used that are either tracked into the building by guests or absorbed into the ground during the spring thaw.

Snow and ice melt basics.

Embedded Systems: A Radiant Concept

BEING IN CONTROLWhen it comes to controlling the system, there are several options to choose from, such as au-tomatic, semi-automatic, manual and idling.

Fully automatic system: a sensor is placed in the ground to detect when snowfall begins. The sensor sends a signal to the heat source to activate the warm liquid flow through the radi-ant tubing. Once the snowfall stops and the sensor is dry and clear from snow and ice, the sensor sends a signal to stop the water flow and shut down the system. This energy-effi-cient method of controlling a snow melt system is typically the most economical as it runs only when needed.

Semi-automatic control: a manual intervention is required to start the system, but a timer is also included that will oper-ate for a preset amount of time and then shut the system off when it times out. This could cause the system to be started

too late and when the timer stops, the system could shut off too early or too late – both undesired outcomes.

Manual control: the system turns on and off with the flip of a switch. While this is by far the most cost-effective option to install with a snow-melt system, it generally costs more to operate. The human interface requirement typically does not align with that of perfect timing to start or stop a system when com-pared to the fully automatic system.

Idling: Another option is to idle the system at a preset temperature, typically 22F to 28F (-5C

to -2C), to ensure it can ramp up quickly in the event of snow-fall. This option is often useful in critical areas that must remain snow and ice free, such as walkways or entryways to buildings. The idle option can be used with either automatic or semi-auto-matic controls.
