[bldg-sim] grab bag--boiler part load, waterside economizers and fan coils, and efficient monitors and pcs

Title: Message
Brian,
 
RE: question #3, see 2001 ASHRAE Fundamantals Handbook, Table 8, chapter 29. They list small (13-15"), med. (16-18") and large (19-20") computer monitors at 55 W, 70 W and 80 W, respectively while in continuous operation and 0 W while in energy saver mode. These values are likely for CRTs, not LCDs, which are much less. Probably best to consult computer manufacturer's data then apply a load factor for usage. There may also be updated information available from an ASHRAE RP since 2001.
 
Good luck!

Subject: [bldg-sim] grab bag--boiler part load, waterside economizers and fan coils, and efficient monitors and pcs

I've been saving up a few unrelated questions--any thoughts:

1) The default boiler part load curve in DOE 2 drops off substantially at minimum loads.  My understanding is that this is a reasonable reflection of cast iron sectional boiler

performance. (but not steel fire tube or condensing) However, I haven't found a source to validate this.  Does anyone have information on real part load performance for code level efficiency cast iron sectional boilers on the market today?

2) The ASHRAE 90.1 energy cost budget manual requires budget baseline four-pipe fan coil systems to have waterside economizers.  The DOE 2.2 software doesn't appear to allow this with the fan coil system type.  Am I missing something in the code, or does anyone have a work around or approximation?

3) I've heard various claims for energy savings for flat screen monitors, and/or sleep-mode locally, or network controlled to reduced W/s.f. for desktop computers, and more efficient PCs. It seems like nearly all monitors now have a sleep mode of some sort.  Any comments on the baseline assumption for these features, and how much savings an energy measure based on these ideas can reasonably produce?

Thanks
