Design Parameters & Specifications

Following are the points needs to be added / revised in design parameters and
specifications for better HVAC performance.
1. Design parameters for dehumidification (FAHU) are missing.
2. U values provided in the design parameters doesnt match the u values as
per estidama u value calculation sheet, the values provided in design
parameters are on a higher side.
3. Shading coefficient for glass is not provided in the design parameter which
is the important parameter for cooling load calculations.
4. Specifications mentions some rooms like operating rooms, delivery rooms
which are not the part of the proposed project.
5. The required indoor conditions for MPC warehouse is mentioned as 18 Deg
C @ 50 % RH, to the this conditions we need an offcoil of 44.6 Deg F and
to achieve this offcoil the chilled water temperature at the coil inlet should
be 38.6 Deg F.
6. As per our assumption we feel that the proposed chilled water
temperature at inlet of the coil is 44 Deg F.
7. FCUs with only cooling coils with the above designed chilled water
temperature are not suitable to achieve indoor temperature of 18 Deg C @
50% RH as defined in design parameters.
8. The specifications for AHUs mentions of energy recovery wheel and horse
shoe heat pipe and it also mentions plate type heat exchanger and
electrical heater which is a discripency which needs to be corrected.
9. As per the specifications Compressors of chillers are provided with twin
screw technology, we can even include the alternative of single screw with
two gear rotors which provides a better bearing life for chillers.
VENTILATION DESIGN & DRAWINGS

Following are the observations in ventilation design & drawings
1. Same quantity of fresh air is provided to individual fcus which are serving
zones of different areas and occupancy, which is technically not correct.
2. Ventilation calculation of a unit which is providing fresh air to multiple

zones should be done as per VRP method of Ashrae 62.1, the same has
not been practiced in the proposed project.
As per the tender design a diversity of 92% was applied to conclude the total
required cooling load as 1200 TR, and as per the instructions by consultant to
retain the same load for the revised architectural plan we have applied a
diversity of 88%, however as per the calculated diversity determined by chilled
water plant sizing we need a total cooling load of 1329.1 TR for the whole facility.
(Chilled water plant sizing attached for your reference)
We strongly recommend to revise the capacity of chillers and chilled water
pumps to avoid any issues related to cooling in future.
Important point to be considered is that chillers and pumps start degrading with
time resulting in the reduced efficiency levels of overall chilled water plant,
which in turn will have impact on building cooling load.
As per the above observations we strongly recommend to upgrade the chilled
water plant size as per the actual calculated diversity by HAP instead of applying
diversity manually which has no technical justification.
Description of total cooling load variation with respect to revised architectural
layouts.
WAREHOUSE
Initial design by consultant has been done based on indoor temperature

of 26 Deg C.
Total calculated cooling load was equal to 125.5 TR
Total selected load was equal to 124 TR
Revised design has done considering the indoor temperature of 24 Deg
C as instructed by consultant.
Total calculated cooling load is equal to 127.9 TR
Total selected load is equal to 128 TR
The total net increase in the total selected load is 4 TR.
PAINTING
1

of 24 Deg C, the same design has been retained.
WELDING & ASSEMBLY

of 26 Deg C.
Total calculated cooling load is equal to 402 TR
TURNING & CUTTING

of 24 Deg C, but the total floor area was 50590.4 sq.ft
As per the latest architectural layout the area of turning & cutting has
been revised as there are no offices and prototype on ground floor
(Factory building), heat load has been revised as per the new area.
Total selected load is equal to 251.5 TR
The total net increase in the total selected load is 34.5 TR.
WORKSHOP & TRAINING AREA

1
As per the tender drawings the above area was sandblast with no air
conditioning.
As per the revised architecture heat load for the above areas has been
calculated as per the inputs provided by Consultant.
FINISHED VEHICLE STORE

of 26 Deg C.
PROTOTYPE AREA AS PER TENDER

1
As per old architectural plan total selected load for this area was equal
to 80 TR
As per the new architectural layout there is no prototype area in the
factory building.
Total selected load for this area is equal to 0 TR.
The total net saving in the total selected load is 80 TR.
ADMIN BUILDING (G.F & F.F)
As per the consultants design a provision of a 80 TR has been

provided for Admin building.
As the design was done based on indoor temperature of 24 Deg C, the
same load has been retained.
PROTOTYPE (SERVICE CENTRE AS PER TENDER)

1
Prototype area as per revised architectural drawing was service center

before.
As per consultants instruction the same load has been retained for the
above area
OFFICE AREA G.F & F.F(FACTORY BUILDING)

of 24 Deg C, but the total floor area was 11840.4 sq.ft
Total calculated cooling load was equal to 79 TR
As per the latest architectural layout the area of OFFICES has been
revised, heat load has been revised as per the new area.
The total net saving in the total selected load is 50 TR.
DINING HALL
As per the tender drawings the above area was rain leak testing with no
air conditioning.
As per the revised architecture heat load for the above areas has been
calculated as per instruction by Consultant.
PLANT COMPOUND
1
Total selected load for the above area is equal to 17 TR
The same load has been retained for the above area
