HVAC System Training and Technical Assistance for Maintenance
1. Fort Bragg DPW Facility Maintenance Division Chief requested the Engineer Research and Development Center, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory ERDC-CERL to provide the installation with site-specific heating, ventilating, and air conditioning HVAC systems and controls training and technical assistance. CERL and installation Directorate of Public Works DPW management and maintenance staff worked together to identify maintenance issues, training needs, and required resources. This work determined that installation personnel could benefit from three training courses, which CERL developed and provided 1 Introduction to HVAC and Control Systems Operations and Maintenance OM, 2 Advanced HVAC Control Systems OM I, and 3 Advanced HVAC Control Systems OM II. CERL also worked with Fort Bragg to identify a direct digital control DDC OM management plan and provided recommendations on how to resolve other ongoing OM problems.

Energy Efficiency and HVAC Upgrades in Florida Homes
ABSTRACT: AbstractIn the fall of 2009, researchers at the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) began working with affordable housing entities that were conducting major renovation projects in unoccupied, foreclosed homes. The study was funded by the Florida Energy Systems Consortium and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building America program. When components and equipment were being replaced because they were worn out, researchers provided savings projections for higher-efficiency choices. Savings were also projected for improvements that were strictly for energy efficiency, such as adding ceiling insulation. The best practices summarized in this document are a mixture of assessment, design, specification, quality assurance, and verification measures. They represent either the most commonly adopted practice observed in this field work or, in some cases, the highest performance practice that did not involve additional cost. For example, although “medium” was the most commonly chosen exterior paint
