Changing the World by Rethinking, Restoring and Regenerating Our Resources

The heating, ventilating and air-conditioning industry plays a pivotal role in the quality and productivity of the built environment
and people’s lives.

That’s why our commitment to innovation and environmental solutions is so important. The decisions we make can directly
transform our world. With the invention of modern air conditioning, Dr. Willis Carrier did just that 110 years ago.

Working together, we can continue to change the world – seeking new solutions to provide greater comfort, produce higher
efficiencies and reduce our environmental impact. The Carrier Global Engineering Conference is a platform to discuss design
trends, the future of environmental technologies, and the role that each of us play in improving the built environment.

A distinguished slate of world thought leaders will help engage our dialogue on the green building movement, new building
technologies and sustainability strategies, among many topics. New ideas and technologies will lead to new opportunities.
Much is at stake with our environment, and we have a responsibility to create the right balance.

Thank you for joining us. We hope your experience will allow you to put ideas and practices into action. Please use this forum
to advance the dialogue on how we rethink, restore and regenerate our resources.

Michel Grabon

Developing Near-Zero Energy Systems with Dynamic Modeling
A Smart Office Tower Building in the La Defense Business District outside of Paris will be an extremely low energy usage building
(25 kW/m2-yr) when it is finished in 2013. To achieve its low-energy signature, many advanced design elements were used and
dynamically modeled from the earliest phase of design. Extensive use was made of energy recovery, storage and transfer features.
New building-wide system architecture controls dynamic chilled beams supplied from a new design central DOAS heat recovery unit.
Small-zone water-to-water heat pumps (W2WHP) deliver the needed heating or cooling capacity to the spaces. After modeling was
completed, an 8-zone beta test facility was installed and run at Carrier’s Montluel Engineering Design Center, validating the potential
of this unique system.

Robert Middlebrooks

Understanding Existing Buildings through BIM: Reality Capture, Monitoring, Simulation and Analysis
Experts agree that buildings are the biggest source of emissions and energy consumption both in the U.S and around the globe.
Research shows that over 50 percent of commercial buildings built prior to 1980 (when energy codes largely did not exist) have not had
any energy-related renovation. Understanding these existing buildings, such that intelligent decisions about use, renovation and energy
retrofitting can be made, is the key to a significant reduction in building energy consumption. Capturing the existing conditions and
creating a model platform for monitoring their use is the first step, but the real value then comes from simulating use and the analysis of
options and alternatives.
Today’s technologies including the rapid acceptance of both photogrammetry and laser scanning for reality capture and Building
Information Modeling (BIM) become the central repository of the existing buildings shared information and the backbone to a digital
workflow. Recording and analyzing the existing buildings use, creating an energy model and ultimately exploring the building potentials
is the second step and the basis for decision-making. Creating “what if” and design scenarios can then be evaluated for aesthetics,
energy performance and even O&M. The further development of cloud based infinite computing will allow the processes to be even
further accelerated to near real time, allowing for visualization, simulation, and analysis to be integral part of the decision making process.
This faster understanding of issues and concepts also invigorates owners and public participants that normally cannot fully understand
the impact. Ultimately this BIM workflow allows for teams to make better, more informed decisions, with great levels of predictability,
less assumptions and reduced risk.
Robert E. Middlebrooks, AIA, is an Industry Program Manager for Buildings with Autodesk, Inc. specializing in BIM, Sustainable
Design and IPD adoption. Bob is an Architect with over 28 years experience as a former principal of Clark Nexsen. Robert is a past

Mark Modera

Technology Tweaks to innovate HVAC Options
The Western Cooling Efficiency Center (WCEC) was started approximately five years ago as the cornerstone of the Energy Efficiency
Center at the University of California at Davis. The mission of the center is to effect change in the energy performance of cooling systems
in hot and dry climates like California, in particular on the peak electricity demand. Rooftop units are used on a large percentage of
commercial buildings for cooling and heating throughout the country. This presentation describes the rationale and technical basis for
the Western Cooling Challenge (WCC), which targets rooftop unit’s performance that is roughly 50% better than DOE 2010 minimum
standards on peak demand and energy use in western climates. Results of laboratory and field tests on WCC equipment will be presented,
as will a related initiative to improve the performance of rooftop units that are not old enough to replace. These efficiency improvements
often include the use of water evaporation and recent research on the management of water use will also be presented. Finally, some
innovative research initiatives at the center will be discussed, including the use of encapsulated phase change materials in hydronic
distribution systems and the application of an aerosol-based technology for sealing leaks in building envelopes.
Mark P. Modera is a Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering, as well as Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and holds the
Sempra Energy Chair in Energy Efficiency, all at UC Davis. Professor Modera is also the Director of the UC Davis Western Cooling
Efficiency Center (WCEC) at UC Davis. Dr. Modera joined the WCEC from Carrier Corp., and from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Rohan Parikh

Infosys Breaks the Efficiency Barrier (speaking with Peter Rumsey)
Infosys is one of India’s software giants, recently building India’s most significant low energy building in the City of Hyderabad. The 200,000
sq. ft. building uses 70% less energy than their existing building stock and costs less to build than the standard Variable Air Volume (VAV)
system. A German university conducted a study of the building and found its energy use to be 19 kBtu/sf/yr. The building was built with
two different cooling systems, radiant and VAV, which provided an unprecedented large scale side-by-side comparison. The occupant
satisfaction with the radiant system and the low energy consumption has given Infosys the confidence to proceed with a large scale
building program based on radiant and chilled beam cooling systems.
Rohan M. Parikh heads the Green Initiatives and Infrastructure team at Infosys. The Green Initiatives team is a strategy and R&D team
focused on setting global benchmarks in corporate environmental sustainability. He is responsible for driving these goals which include
reducing the per capita energy consumption by 50%, sourcing 100% of the electricity from renewable sources, becoming carbon
neutral including transportation related emissions, becoming water neutral, recycling organic waste, preserving and promoting
biodiversity and engaging employees in all of the above goals. The Green Initiatives team is driving the design of the next generation of
high performance smart buildings and campuses for Infosys. Mr Parikh holds a master’s degree in Civil engineering from University
of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.

Brian Parsonnet

Using novel control strategies to attain Permanent Load Shifting and reduce Utility Demand
Title XIII Section 1301 on the Smart Grid, as passed by the U.S. Congress in 2007, declares that it is “the policy of the United States
to support the modernization of the Nation’s electricity transmission and distribution system to maintain a reliable and secure electricity
infrastructure that can meet future demand growth…” Demand Response in its various forms is readily understood to fit well within the
intended scope. However, to be successful, the universe of Smart Grid approaches must address a host of issues, not yet resolved. For
example, the cost of the Smart Grid build-out will require very substantial capital investments, taking perhaps a decade or more; small
assets, which in aggregate contribute greatly to peak energy consumption, cannot “afford” the overhead associated with Smart Grid
control given their potential small contributions; end-use for smart assets have difficult adoption, comfort, and complexity issues; demand
response on some asset classes, especially thermal, struggle with rebound or ripple effect; and security and privacy both are looming
issues due to the on-line nature of the systems and data. Permanent Load Shifting, implemented through a novel control strategy using
ice storage will be presented as a means to address these issues in the immediate term, and it will be shown how the magnitude of these
technologies in aggregate contribute significantly toward a long term solution.

An update on Refrigerants of the Future
Many new lower GWP refrigerant candidates are becoming available for air conditioning and heat pump applications. Minimizing a
system’s life cycle impact on the environment should be the goal in narrowing options. Learn the pros and cons of the refrigerants being
considered in the industry today and how these choices can affect the direct emissions and energy consumption. The presentation will
present the most recent developments in testing and analysis of the next generation refrigerants and how adopting these refrigerants
can impact our industry.

Data Centers: A look at system design strategies requiring more accurate control to assure the
most reliable operation
Over the past couple of decades a change in the data center energy environment has created concern about energy operating costs.
Historically data centers did not consider the energy required to maintain reliability. With the ever increasing costs of energy, the drive
towards green buildings and social pressure to reduce energy costs, data centers are now experiencing pressure to reduce their carbon
footprint. This requires new mechanical designs as well as more accurate control of these heat rejection systems.
Mr. Sullivan is manager of the mission critical controls design department for HP/EYP. He has been working on the construction,
design and service of mission critical facilities since the early 1980’s. His experience ranges from providing emergency response,
to installing critical control systems. He has overseen or directly been involved in the design, implementation and strategic discussions
for approximately 150 mission critical facilities ranging from “Tier II to Tier IV.”

Craig Walker

Advanced Building Systems: Guaranteed High Performance from Design through Operation
Because more than 40% of the world’s energy consumption occurs in the built environment, delivering dramatic energy use reduction in
a broad cross section of buildings holds the promise to significantly reduce our energy footprint. Despite the existence of a few examples
demonstrating lower energy use, the goal of developing solutions that are viable in a large fraction of the built environment remains elusive.
This talk will identify some of the key technical and economic barriers to delivering and sustaining energy performance over the lifecycle of
a building. It will also describe several innovative systems technologies that have recently been developed and demonstrated by the United
Technologies Research Center to contribute to the ability to predict and then deliver energy performance over the building’s lifecycle.
Craig Walker is Director, UTC Energy Systems Program including Integrated Buildings and Renewable Energy Systems. In addition,
Craig leads External Resource Development at the United Technologies Research Center. He has held this position since February
2003. In this role he leads maturation of advanced onsite power and heat utilization technologies resulting in the launch of two
product families (PureComfort and PureCycle). He is responsible for maturation of technologies that take advantage of component
and subsystem integration to deliver differentiated value in building and district performance and energy use as well as solar, wind,
geothermal, and both electrical energy and hydrogen storage technologies. Craig holds an M.S. and B.S. in Materials Science and
Engineering, University of Florida and graduated from the Program for Management Development at Harvard Business School.

Advisory
Building Commissioning Quality Assurance – It is All About the People board
member
The cooperation of the commissioning team spells the success or failure of this quality assurance process. Commissioning
(Cx) is a collaborative process that allows the participants to succeed, rather than forcing them to documents. When it is
employed completely and rigorously, it is impossible to build a bad facility. Unfortunately, the onslaught of certification programs and
legal requirements has led to poor or incomplete Cx, done only to get the credit. This is often accompanied by reverse-engineered
Cx documents that add expense instead of being valuable project tools. This seminar teaches the people factor in Cx. It covers roles,
responsibilities and motivating factors that add up to a Cx job well done.

Ron Wilkinson is a Commissioning Authority in New York City. He is the author of the first USGBC LEED training program, ASHRAE
Distinguished Lecturer and adjunct faculty member of New York University. Ron is founding chair of the AIA Committee on the
Environment (COTE) Cx sub-committee, and reviewer for the Cx provisions of the International Green Construction Code. Mr. Wilkinson
is a LEED AP, ASHRAE CPMP, PE, Jersey City, NJ.
