Contents
Labs Sessions - 1st Quarter 2018
Labs Session - Jan 5, 2018
- Labs Updates
- Catching Up
- 2018 LABS Topics
- 1) Finish Up Phase 2 Rebalance and Phase 3 Remaining Issues on Ventilation
- 2) GG PV System Verification
- Review new PV system design & specs - original GG PV System Design
- ENPHASE Monitoring
- Verification plan - Put data logger on PV produced vs feed to building to compare amps used
- 3) Re-Commission the HVAC DDC Controls (after Niagara/JACE upgrades)
- Today's Project: Ventilation Update & Cold Weather Review
- Ventilation Update
- Review progress & results
- Summarize 12/15/17 readings/results
- Set date to re-read all at once - 1/12/2018
- Determine if BF needs to be set lower to match ERV?
- Determine if SF & EF on ERV are okay as is or need to adjust speed to get in balance?
- Plan for Cave Day
- GG Cold Weather Review
- Check systems; capture screenshots
- Review system cold weather performance; collect trends for past 2 weeks
- Thermal image doors/windows/floor/tank town walls/etc.
- Review observations
- Doors and windows still look very good, even high traffic doors.
- Exterior door in greenhouse is only spot found that is below the space dewpoint (door wood inset/threshold in 20's; dewpoint 36F).
- Garage door insulation/seal still excellent.
- Observed V-6 (three-way mixing valve on floor heating) appeared to be hunting slightly. Joe indicated this is normal for the valve.
- Consider any additional investigation or recommendations - none
- What's Next
- Cave Day - Continue Re-Do of TAB measurements
- Next Month - Wrap up Ventilation
Labs Session - April 6, 2018
- Labs Updates
- Catching Up
- Today's Project: TRASH AUDIT- April 2018
- Trash Audit Design
- Check current compliance levels
- Analyze current waste stream content compared to what it was
- Issue #1 - Lots of carry out cartons now - CONFIRMED STILL AN ISSUE
- Issue #2 - Food left in fridge on Friday - CONFIRMED STILL AN ISSUE
- First audit was 11/4/2011
- After Action: Talk to Recycle Here to solicit feedback on what we could do better or if anything new in the world of recycling
- After Action: Drill down to hear what we do right/wrong once it gets to the sorting process or its final destination - update us on what helps and what doesn't - what ruins a stream or makes it unusable
- Conclusions - Suggestions
- Businesses to address findings further
- Labs interested in community aspects of findings
- What's Next
- Cave Day
- Next Month
