ASHRAE Meeting Minutes - Boston

TC 4.10 - Indoor Environmental Modeling, Main Committee Meeting, Monday, June 30, 1997, 2:15 PM

The meeting was called to order at 2:18 pm by Chairman Mo Hosni.

All those present introduced themselves by name and affiliation.

Eight of fourteen voting members were present at the roll call.

Approval of Philadelphia minutes 8-0-0.

Announcements were made:

 Must select handbook chairman. Ray Horstman is handbook chair.

 Plan to send handbook chapters out for external review.

 ASHRAE wants to change meeting times of TC's to avoid conflicts. Potential parallel TC and Program sessions. Proposed to move some TC sub-committee meetings to Saturday.

 ASHRAE may impose limits on program sessions.

 Technology weekend moved forward 4 weeks to Oct 18, 19. Must submit workstatements by early September.

 SPC 167P Model Safety Code for Mechanical Installations is asking for members.

 One page WS summaries need to be to J. Zhang by July 20.

 Dick Rivers sent letter to M. Hosni. He cannot attend meetings but will continue to help with Handbook.

 Due to limited number of W.S. submitted last year there is extra funding available now.

 New Section Head is Jeff Bishop.

 Membership. New officers announced. The 1998 membership roster was passed around to check accuracy.

Gemma Kerr arrived, nine of 14 members present.

 Research- Dan Clark reported results of subcommittee meeting.

 WS-1009 was rewritten to respond to R& T comments and redistributed to committee members. A motion was made and seconded to approve this for resubmission to R&T with minor editorial changes. Passed 10-0-0.

 PES committee on 978 TRP met. Recommendation was made to select Kansas State University as the contractor. Motion made and seconded to approve 7-0-3. (Abstentions due to people being associated with bidders.) PMS members Steve Emmerich, Farzad Baban, Ray Horstmann, Jianshun Zhang, and Kevin Knappmiller were identified.

 RP-903 Experimental Validation of Multizone Models for Predicting Air Contaminant Transport in High Rise Buildings PI, Gren Yuill has had surgury and could not come to the meeting. Good progress is being made on the project as reported by PMS. Separately scheduled PMS meeting suggested for San Francisco.

 Motion made to approve the following as the prioritized research plan.

    1. Simplified Diffuser Boundary Conditions for Numerical Room Airflow Models (Emmerich and Knappmiller)
    2. Guidelines for using CFD for conducting CFD studies (Walter Schwartz and Eliott Gordon)
    3. Modeling low velocity large scale fluctuating flows (Horstman)
    4. Determination of turbulent length and time scales in ventilated rooms (Yan Chen)
    5. Modeling computer rooms with large heat loads. (Emmerich and Roger Schmitt)

 Program-

 We had a successful seminar Monday morning with about 85 attendees.

 The following items remain on our program list with the corresponding session chair:

    1. San FranciscoSymposium"Advanced Turbulence Models for Room Airflow Predictions", Chen. Three papers remain on list.
    2. San FranciscoSymposium"Recent European Research on Accuracy of Low-Velocity measurements." We are cosponsoring with TC 1.2. Melikov.
    3. TorontoSymposium"Methods for Characterizing Indoor Sources and Sinks." Haghiyat
    4. TorontoSeminarModeling computer rooms with large heat loads. Schmidt.
    5. TorontoSymposium"Applications of Multi-Zone airflow and Contaminant Models to performance of Residential ventilation systems. Emmerich.
    6. ChicagoSymposiumModeling and measurement of VOC emissions from building materials. Yan Chen. Co-sponsor with TC 2.3.

This program list is approved 10-0-0.

 Handbook- Ray Horstman has developed a draft of a new chapter for the handbook of fundamentals. He sent out copies for review at the last meeting and has not received any responses. He is asking for responses and review.
