Coursework Brief Energy Management and Controls BEA-6-473 2016-17 th Issue: Friday 9 December, 2016 th Submission deadline: Friday 24 March, 2017 – 1PM (via Moodle) Overview You will apply a taught (building services engineering science) technique to a new situation. You will need to analyse a system component and solve problems that arise. Conclusions drawn from your analysis will need to be validated. You will need to apply mathematical methods and develop models capable of analysing the performance of a system component. You will need to strengthen a range of written presentation skills in order to produce a report to professional engineering/business standards. In summary, this coursework is aimed at developing higher level learning skills through application and should not be viewed only as a test of knowledge. Context In a taught session you will be asked to develop a weather compensation schedule (a graph of ? vs? ) for a heating system where output is controlled by a 3-port MMV in a mixing application. ao f Including extension work you will have produced: ? A building load schedule ? vsF ao bldg ? vs? ? The weather compensation schedule ao f ? Plots of emitter temperatures for full range operation: ? ,? , and? vsF f m r bldg ? Plots of circuit flow rates (in %’s): m? and m? vsF mix blr bldg Tasks 1. Repeat the work-stream above for the instance of a 3-port MMV in a diverting application. 2. Any findings/conclusions must be validated. It is foreseen that you will draw one conclusion that will you will find very challenging. (In the assessment rubric this is referred to as ‘the problem’). 3. Develop a mathematical model that will accurately predict ? ,? , and? for an emitter f m r controlled by a diverting circuit over its full range of output (100-0%). In this instance you should use a spread-sheet.Your Submission Your submission will be a formal, technical report on the investigation you have carried out….
