Summary
Subject of the contract: Mechanical design of a school complex
Objective of the contract : Technical verification of the mechanical energy efficiency project relating to a school complex included in the broader management and redevelopment project of 16 municipal buildings .
Key information
Client Name: Water and Renewable Energy Utility
Project Name: Review of a school complex project located in Northern Italy
Buildings involved: School complex consisting of an elementary school and a middle school
Brief description of the planned activities:
The project involved the verification of the design documentation provided by the client, which had been developed by a previous contractor, with the aim of evaluating its consistency, completeness and feasibility of implementation.
The process of verification of the mechanical design for the school complex was organized according to the main areas of analysis that emerged from discussions with the client and summarized in the final report:
- capacity of the generation system’s to meet the thermal demand of the school,
- feasibility of projects,
- Regulatory Compliance,
- an in-depth analysis of the main design and systems-related challenges .
Analysis of the Generators’ Thermal Load Capacity
A central theme of the analysis focused in particular on fulfillment of the thermal load by the generators specified in the design.
In fact, the report takes an in-depth look at the report between the heat demand of the complex and the available power from the new plant layout, consisting of heat pump and cogeneration unit, highlighting how this balance either closely influenced from electric power actually available.
In particular, even in the event of favorable operating conditions and of optimizations of the operating conditions, the analysis revealed a significant misalignment between the required electrical power from the system and that one suitable for low-voltage applications, resulting in critical issues regarding the flood meeting demand thermal under the most demanding operating conditions.
Assessment of critical issues in plant configuration and identification of improvements and proposed revisions
In addition to this aspect, the verification of the mechanical design of the school complex It also examined the critical issues related to the system configuration, to the dimensions and to the maintainability of the new heating plant, as well as to the regulatory compliance and functional aspect of the intervention.
In the concluding phase, rather than simply highlighting the issues encountered, the work led to the definition of possible improvements and proposed revisions of the plant engineering solution, designed to make thespeech more consistent with the identified technical constraints and with the goals of energy efficiency, while also identifying the need for a subsequent level of project analysis.
