For this report, ASHRAE Standard 62-2001, Addendum n, was used to evaluate the ventilation performance of seven air handling units serving the Montgomery County Conference Center and Hotel. The percentage of ventilation air for each AHU, along with a detailed account of the procedure is available by clicking on the report link above. A full summary of results is also provided. All files can be viewed by using Adobe Acrobat Reader.

The purpose of this report is to analyze the Montgomery County Conference Center and Hotel (MCCCH) in Rockville, MD, for its building and plant energy performance. In order to develop a model for this, MCCCH was first compared and evaluated in relation to the LEED Green Building Rating System for New Construction and Major Renovations. Other calculations and comparisons performed herein include a building energy usage and emissions analysis, building envelope and lighting compliance with ASHRAE Standard 90.1-1999, and a building lost rentable space/mechanical system first cost analysis. Once MCCCH's energy usage characteristics were determined, building load calculations, energy analyses, and annual energy costs were calculated with the help of Carrier's Hourly Analysis Program (HAP).

The purpose of this report was to summarize the existing building mechanical systems found in the Montgomery County Conference Center and Hotel in Rockville , MD. The mechanical design objectives and requirements were studied. Energy sources and rates for the building's site were obtained and reported along with other factors that influenced the building's overall design. Schedules of major mechanical equipment and schematics of their use were presented. Finally, a description of the mechanical system's operation was discussed.
