C. Provide control function as indicated on drawings and as described herein. D. It is the intent of this specification to describe the performance requirements of the system. Therefore, the specifications describe the operational function of the system with minimal re- quirements for equipment to accomplish these functions. E. It is the Contractor's responsibility to provide a complete and working system ready for the Own- er's beneficial usage. F. The comfort control sequences specified shall be overridden by any control required for fire/smoke protection as specified here or as required by applicable codes. 3.2 CONSTANT VOLUME ROOFTOP UNIT AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEMS: A. Each packaged commercial rooftop unit shall have a microprocessor-based controller which shall monitor and control the packaged rooftop unit in a stand-alone mode or as directed by the build- ing automation system. The units are constant volume types with multiple compressors, conden- ser fans, supply air fan, refrigerant coil, and outside air damper. New Worship Center, Concord Church, Dallas, TX SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS FOR HVAC CONTROLS DFW Project No. 10173 230993-2 09 September 2011 B. Whenever the RTU is normally de-energized: 1. Compressors shall be off. 2. Supply fan shall be off. 3. The outside air and return air damper shall be closed. C. Whenever the RTU is normally energized: 1. The unit controls shall stage the compressors to maintain a discharge air temperature of 55 degrees F (adjustable at RTU control panel). 2. The outside air damper shall open to its minimum position. 3. On signal from supply or return air smoke detector provided by the mechanical contrac- tor, RTU shall shut down. 4. Economizer cycle shall be controlled through the RTU processor. When the economizer cycle is on, the outside air damper shall modulate to maintain the set point temperature of the supply air. This control shall be such that upon a need for cooling, the outside air damper opens to its minimum position before the compressor starts. D. The RTU controls shall stop and start the unit on a occupancy schedule. E. The following sequences shall be performed: 1. Unoccupied Mode: When the BAS initiates the Unoccupied Mode, the rooftop shall as- sume the unoccupied heating and cooling setpoints. If the unoccupied setpoints are ex- ceeded, the unit shall heat and cool until the zone temperature is within the unoccupied setpoints. 2. Occupied Mode: When the BAS initiates the Occupied Mode the rooftop shall operate stages of cooling to maintain space temperature setpoint. Constant volume units shall operate under zone temperature control and cycle their heating and cooling outputs to maintain space temperature setpoints. The rooftop units shall default to these modes, as appropriate to their configuration, in the event that communication with the building auto- mation system is lost. a. Cooling/Economizer: During the Occupied cooling mode the economizer and me- chanical cooling are used to control the supply air temperature. If the enthalpy of the outside air is appropriate to use free cooling, the economizer shall be used to satisfy the supply air. If the economizer cannot satisfy space load conditions, mechanical cooling shall be staged on as necessary. Minimum on/off timing of the mechanical cooling shall prevent rapid cycling. At outdoor air conditions above the enthalpy con- trol setting, mechanical cooling only shall be used and the fresh air dampers shall remain at minimum position. 3. Priority Shutdown Stop: The rooftop unit shall shut down in response to a customer sup- plied contact closure to the building automation system indicating the presence of a fire or other emergency condition. In the Priority Shutdown mode, all rooftop unit compo- nents shall be disabled, including the supply fan, heating and cooling functions. 4. Timed Override: When Timed Override is initiated by the user, the rooftop unit shall re- turn to its normal occupied mode for a period of time as specified at the building automa- tion system. When the Timed Override period ends, the BAS shall automatically monitor and store the override time for each Timed Override input for documentation of after- hours operation. F. Each RTU shall have a motorized outside air damper. Damper shall close when the unit is off. G. CO2 sensors shall control and modulate the outside air to maintain 1200 ppm (adjustable). 3.3 VARIABLE AIR VOLUME ROOFTOP UNIT AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEMS: A. Each packaged commercial rooftop unit shall have a microprocessor-based controller which shall monitor and control the packaged rooftop unit in a stand-alone mode or as directed by the build- ing automation system. The units are variable volume types with multiple compressors, conden- ser fans, supply air fan, refrigerant coil, outside air damper, and variable frequency drives.

Compressors shall be off. 2. Supply fan shall be off. 3. The outside air and return air damper shall be closed. C. Whenever the RTU is normally energized: 1. The unit controls shall stage the compressors to maintain a discharge air temperature of 55 degrees F (adjustable at RTU control panel). 2. The outside air damper shall open to its minimum position. 3. The supply fan shall be controlled to maintain static pressure at minimum value in the supply duct a point 3/4 of the distance to the most remote terminal box supplied by the rooftop unit. 4. On signal from supply or return air smoke detector, RTU shall shut down. D. The RTU controls shall stop and start the unit on a occupancy schedule. E. The following sequences shall be performed: 1. Unoccupied Mode: When the BAS initiates the Unoccupied Mode, the rooftop shall as- sume the unoccupied heating and cooling setpoints. If the unoccupied setpoints are ex- ceeded, the unit shall heat and cool until the zone temperature is within the unoccupied setpoints. 2. Occupied Mode: When the BAS initiates the Occupied Mode the rooftop shall operate stages of cooling to maintain space temperature setpoint. Variable Air Volume units shall operate in supply air temperature control mode and cycle their cooling outputs to main- tain a supply air setpoint. VAV units in the heating mode and all constant volume units shall operate under zone temperature control and cycle their heating and cooling outputs to maintain space temperature setpoints. The rooftop units shall default to these modes, as appropriate to their configuration, in the event that communication with the building au- tomation system is lost. a. Cooling: During the Occupied cooling mode mechanical cooling shall be used to control the supply air temperature and the fresh air dampers shall remain at minimum position. Minimum on/off timing of the mechanical cooling shall prevent rapid cycling. 3. Priority Shutdown Stop: The rooftop unit shall shut down in response to a customer sup- plied contact closure to the building automation system indicating the presence of a fire or other emergency condition. In the Priority Shutdown mode, all rooftop unit compo- nents shall be disabled, including the supply fan, heating and cooling functions. 4. Timed Override: When Timed Override is initiated by the user, the rooftop unit shall re- turn to its normal occupied mode for a period of time as specified at the building automa- tion system. When the Timed Override period ends, the BAS shall automatically monitor and store the override time for each Timed Override input for documentation of after- hours operation. 5. Supply Air Pressure Control (VAV Units): The RTU shall maintain supply air pressure through its internal controls. The VFD shall modulate to maintain this setpoint based on the static pressure sensor located in the supply air discharge of the packaged rooftop unit. F. Each RTU shall have a motorized outside air damper. Damper shall close when the unit is off. G.
