What kind of building heating and cooling systems has the development team considered? a. We have evaluated multiple HVAC systems for this building including traditional PTAC units,Variable Refrigerant Package(VRP)units as well as a central Water Source Heat Pump system. The proposed VRP system is 25% more efficient (13.0 EER) than the minimum efficiency requirements(10.4 EER)set forth by the International Energy Conservation Code. We are also currently exploring the possibility of installing photovoltaic panels on the roof as a source of renewable energy for the building,but the logistical and financial implications have not been fully vetted at this time. We anticipate a decision on photovoltaics before site plan approval is sought. 2. What are the hotel brand requirements for the building? a. The VRP system we are proposing is the system preferred by Marriott International based on their extensive experience with multiple different types of systems for similar occupancies. 3. Will there be continuous building commissioning to make ensure that the HVAC systems are running correctly? a. Building commissioning is required by the International Energy Conservation Code and a commissioning agent will be enlisted by the development team to oversee the commissioning process. All systems will be reviewed and commissioned by this agent throughout design and construction.As for the operation of the units after construction,the guest room units will be individually controlled and will be programmed to'set back'when unoccupied based on continuous monitoring from an occupancy sensor in the room. All central building systems will be controlled by a Building Management System that will provide continuous monitoring and alarms upon failure. If you have additional questions regarding the energy efficiency of the proposed building, we will happily address them at the October 17`h meeting.
