2 EER Optimizer for DX Air Conditioners TOPICS Problems addressed EER Optimizer on-board i-optimize hand-held IoT cloud connectivity Field Tests Summary 2

3 Problems addressed Most U.S. commercial space is conditioned with unitary package equipment, yet it is the lowest performing type.

4 Problems addressed Current unitary air conditioner design compromises operating costs and performance for the lowest purchase price. Loads drastically differ from Florida to California, Texas to Illinois In many applications latent cooling capacity is inadequate, SHRs are too high, and expensive reheat is used for dehumidification. Most current designs maximize energy efficiency at the AHRI IEER rating points, which does not give the lowest possible energy cost. Performance is difficult to cost-effectively maintain. Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both. Tryon Edwards

5 EER Optimizer for DX Air Conditioners EER Optimizer is a cost-effective IoT technology that: a) Diagnoses and mitigates degrading energy efficiency of DX HVAC systems b) Optimizes operational parameters as load and conditions vary c) Realizes best achievable efficiency as operating conditions and load changes The technology is utilized in two systems: Hand-held instrument for quick, portable measurement & diagnosis On-board controller to optimize & report operational parameters

6 On-board EER Optimizer is installed in DX package units and split systems. Optimizes all operating parameters Target is maximum EER while precisely meeting sensible and latent loads Continuous performance tuning Supply Blower Speed Condenser Fan Speed Refrigerant Flow & Charge Supply Air Temperature Coil Temperature Economizer Damper Web monitoring & reporting EER, IEER Efficiency, Tons Capacity Detects faults: low refrigerant, stuck TXV, restricted airflow, broken economizer, compressor wear, fouled coil, many others. Sensitive diagnostics identify issues before they become problematic

7 On-board EER Optimizer features integral commissioning and energy savings Measurement & Verification. RUN MODE energy efficiency comparisons MANUAL reverts to factory control sequence of operation AUTO temperature and humidity set points optimally met via blower, damper and fan speed control OPTIMIZE maximum energy efficiency sought via continuous simultaneous adjustment of all operational parameters while precisely satisfying comfort and IAQ requirements.

8 The portable i-optimize connects to any DX package unit or split system, measures energy efficiency & cooling performance, and diagnoses faults. Amp Clamp Temperature Probe Humidity Probes Temperature Clamps Hi/Lo Refrigerant Pressure Sensors Voltage Probes The portable i-optimize has 12 sensors and a CPU consisting of 2 cloud-linked single-board computers. It allows a technician to take a comprehensive set of measurements, evaluate system performance, verify corrections, and upload readings for analysis and documentation.

9 The portable i-optimize connects to a cloud server and performs diagnostics. Tests EER, IEER, Tons Web connected Remote tech assistance Readings stored in cloud Historical trends analyzed Reporting & documentation Diagnostics identify issues before problematic Low refrigerant Stuck TXV Restricted airflow Compressor wear Fouled coil

23 Summary of hand-held i-optimize results

24 SUMMARY OF RESULTS FROM FIELD TESTS Reduction in air-conditioner energy usage averaged 28%. On-board payback period ranged from 3.2 to 5.8 years. Larger air conditioners provide shorter payback period. Portable produced payback periods from 0.4 to 1.1 years. Savings-to-investment ratio (SIR) 1.0 to 2.4 Project buy-in from HVAC shop and the contracting officer is essential to successful implementation. Portable can support a performance-based DX system maintenance program.

25 SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS a. Continuously optimizes operational parameters to minimize energy cost while improving occupant comfort and productivity. b. Slows performance deterioration and potentially adds years of service life. c. Provides a realistic assessment of equipment operating condition to guide the repair / replace decision process. d. Detects & diagnoses faults for performing targeted preventive maintenance or supporting performance-based maintenance to maximize cost effectiveness. e. Provides remote connection to identify issues before they become problematic, for faster response to an occupant complaint, and to enhance technician productivity.
