Compliance on Design Brief for the Langham Place


Item Design Brief GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1. Provide a centralized heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system with central air handling units to serve public and back-of-house areas and four-pipe fan coil units (or two-pipe cooling with electric heat in locations with mild winters) to serve the guestrooms. Through-the-wall incremental units are not permitted. 2. Locate the air-handling units in mechanical rooms for sound isolation and ease of access. 3. For indoor air quality control purposes, provide double-walled air-handling units so that no sound or thermal insulation is exposed to airflow. The interior chambers of air-handling units and fan coil units should be easily accessible for routine servicing and cleaning. Also provide double-walled ductwork with access for routine cleaning. Specify stainless steel condensate drain pans to positively drain to preclude standing water. 4. Steam may be used for space heating but should be limited to steam-towater heat exchangers. 5. Water-source heat pumps with multiple speed fans may be acceptable in some public or back-of-house locations, but require special attention to the control system and sound isolation. Condenser water to heat pumps should be controlled with automatic constant- flow control devices. 6. The chilled water system consists of centrifugal chillers with water-cooled condensers. High-pressure centrifugal or screw-type chillers using nonCFC refrigerant HFC-134a are preferred. Size the chillers to be efficient at part-load conditions. ME49s Proposed

Where three chillers are required, provide flexibility and load capacity. some redundancy by sizing the chillers for 20%, 40% and 60% of the calculated block load capacity. In order to achieve redundancy in the primary chilled water pumping circuit, a spare pump sized for the 60% chillers, but with an adjustable head control valve on the pump discharge, can be used. Designing the chillers and associated pumps for flexibility and part-load operation lowers operating costs, reduces repair and maintenance costs, and results in more comfortable spaces.

Design Brief 13. In extremely cold climates, baseboard heating may be necessary near large expanses of window. Coordinate their location, appearance, and enclosure with the interior design. 14. High-rise hotels are susceptible during the heating season to building leakage, in which warm interior air, naturally rising through the hotel (stack effect), may leak out of the upper portion of the pressurized hotel. This creates a negative pressure on the lower floors, increasing the undesirable infiltration of cold outside air and causing uncomfortable conditions near doors, loading docks, or other openings and around leaky dampers. To reduce this, elevator rooms should be air-conditioned rather than ventilated. (Consider DX systems as sensible coolers in this application.) Convective heat losses of idle boilers should be also controlled to mitigate the stack effect. Other mitigating measures may include the design of air dampers to minimize leakage and reduce the amounts of air exhaust during cold weather. 15. Equip chilled water, condenser water, steam, and hot water systems with chemical treatment systems that automatically measure and dose treatment chemicals. 16. Specify medium-efficiency, throwaway type air filters. Provide one complete filter change for the initial installation. 17. Design hotel building to maintain positive pressure, maintain environmental requirements (indoor space temperature and humidity conditions in compliance with hotel requirements) and ensure guest comfort. 18. Locate chillers and boiler plant above water table, with appropriate position of protection from flooding. GUESTROOM AREAS 1. In most locations, provide guestrooms with four-pipe fan coil units (FCU's), either vertical units located within the closet footprint with the discharge air ducted to the sleeping space (the preferred approach for both accessibility and noise abatement purposes) or horizontal units concealed above the entry/bathroom ceiling. Provide two-pipe cooling with electric heating only for locations with mild winters. In this case, consider both the guestroom warm-up rate and the overall heating load. In hot and humid climates, incorporate heat-pipe technology into the FCU to improve dehumidification performance. "Through the wall" PTAC or VTAC units are not permitted in guestrooms. 2. 100% filtered and tempered outside fresh air should be ducted directly into the guestroom instead of being drawn from the guestroom corridor. Makeup air quantity should exceed bathroom exhaust air by 5%.

Design Brief Use a single, digital thermostat to control units where multiple FCU's serve a common area. Provide the FCU with a digital thermostat with three-speed fan (plus off position). A networked digital control system is preferred. Perceptible vibration or water noise is not acceptable. In guestrooms the Noise Criteria curve for fan coils is not to exceed NC30 at low speed, NC35 at medium speed and NC40 at high speed. The control valve (fan coil and air handling units) must close when the unit is turned off. Provide proportioning control valves to achieve optimum comfort control. Provide the heating water circuit with similar differential pressure controls to those described in the general requirements (2.3-1.10). However, for locations with short or mild winters, provide a constant flow system with three-way valves. The heating water temperature is reset using a schedule based upon outside temperatures. Provide a centralized guest bathroom exhaust system. Central roof mounted fans are preferred over individual exhaust fans mounted over each riser. A heat recovery system should be considered in the design for hotels in cooler climates. Specify sheet metal exhaust ducts; drywall shafts or plumbing chases used as plenums are not allowed. Size the fan to move one CFM per square foot of bathroom floor area, but no less than 50 CFM.

Design Brief 3. Provide fan-powered VAV terminals in public areas where constant air movement is important - such as function spaces and food and beverage outlets. The VAV units should fully shut off during unoccupied periods to prevent over-cooling of rooms. 4. To meet minimum ventilation requirements in large spaces with variable occupancy (e.g. ballroom or exhibit hall) use carbon dioxide sensing in the return air stream. Where heating loads are moderate the VAV terminal units located near the building's perimeter may provide heat using a reheat coil. These units close the air supply completely upon reduced cooling loads. After the space temperature passes through the thermostat's dead band to the heating side of the range, the air supply opens (approximately 30%) to allow space heating to take place. Temperature control is achieved by modulating the control valve of a hot water reheat coil or cycling an electric reheat coil. Carbon dioxide sensing is preferred to using reheat under these conditions. 5. Indoor swimming pool and spa spaces pose a challenge for humidity control. Provide special dehumidification systems for air-handling equipment. Provide stainless steel ductwork exhaust from the pool equipment room. 6. Design air-handling units with an air economizer cycle where practical so that chillers shut off when AHU's are on air economizer and guestroom cooling is not required. This might require the use of a small direct expansion air conditioner for areas with constant cooling loads such as SMART and the Data Centre. Where necessary, provide condenser water "free cooling" system utilizing a plate-and-frame heat exchanger for guestrooms and other spaces served by FCU's to meet cooling loads that cannot be addressed by air-side economizer operations. 7. Utilize 100% outside air factory packaged AHUs for guest corridors; with vertical riser ducts at the egress stairs. From an emission riser, utilize one duct to supply guest corridor and the duct to supply make-up air to guest rooms. BACK-OF-HOUSE AREAS 1.

Design Brief bottom to allow the cleaning solution to manually drain. Provide an exhaust hood with an automatic wash-down system over ranges, grills, ovens, and other grease vapor-producing cooking equipment. This allows the system to supply less conditioned air to occupied areas of the kitchen to meet comfort requirements. Make-up air quantities should be 95% of exhaust air quantities to prevent odor migration to adjacent public spaces. In cold climates the make-up air is tempered and directed inward into the captured air stream to avoid discharging air directly onto food or associates or their workspace. Fan controls are mounted in a control panel near the hood to start and stop the fan as required for cooking operations. Constant water wash and short-circuit make-up air hoods are not acceptable. Exhaust systems for moisture emitting equipment such as steam kettles, steam pressure cookers, brain maries, dishwashers, and pot washers are to be designed with corrosion-proof and watertight ductwork. Where there is no hood or the hood does not adequately extract moisture, provide a moisture separator duct fitting. Pitch the ductwork back toward the hood or equipment for proper drainage of condensation. Mount fan controls in a panel near the hood to allow operation only when needed. Make-up air for these spaces is 95% of the exhaust air quantities to prevent odor migration to adjacent public spaces. The make-up air supply fan will be interlocked with the hood exhaust fan. Comfort conditioning is essential in the hotel laundry. In hot dry climates provide evaporative cooling. A spot-cooling system with controls convenient to laundry employees can minimize cooling requirements. Exhaust air separated from other ductwork should be directly taken from canopies or shrouds over certain such equipment as flatwork ironers or steamers to minimize the cooling load. The make-up air for the tumbler exhaust should be ducted directly to a plenum that encloses the battery of tumblers. Although not preferred for general use, split DX systems may be allowed in limited applications such as the Data Centre, elevator machine rooms, remote buildings of campus-style resort facilities, or where there are no reasonable alternatives. A ceiling hung fan coil unit may be used in addition to air handling units where small temperature zones are required such as at a remote office or storage area. For water cooled ice machines, provide a separate condenser water system that consists of constant volume pumps and a closed circuit cooling tower. One pump is to be standby.

All hardware and software shall be compliant with the latest BACnet open protocol standard or the LonWork standard (or both) or, preferably, standard Internet protocols as such BMCS hardware/software becomes available. Provide a terminal with a color monitor and printer in the Maintenance Office and portable plug-in interface capability at each field panel location. Include software to display a status screen of major systems and equipment. 4. Provide proportioning valves, damper operation, or bi-directional electric motors for equipment controlled by the BMCS. Valve operators on large equipment shall feature an integral manual positioning device. This equipment provides a positive status indication to the system though an airflow or pump-flow sensor. On larger variable-load equipment, control modules employ devices such as a current transformer with analogue input to measure horsepower. In some instances, these control devices will also serve as the status-proving signal. Lighting control for designated hotel spaces shall be based on occupancy sensors with a manual override capability. 5. BMCS-controlled equipment shall provide space temperature control within 1C. Function rooms and offices must incorporate an occupant-adjustable electronic thermostat instead of space sensors alone.

Design Brief 3 of this manual. 9. Design of lighting and lighting control systems for all public areas of a hotel, including the hotel exterior, shall be done by a professional lighting designer (i.e., not a vendor or contractor). Preferred lighting fixture types and their applications are described in the individual room descriptions located in Section 3 of this manual. No quartz type lighting fixtures should be used for general lighting purposes. Exterior lighting and sign equipment should be activated by automatic systems. All decorative lighting fixture selections are to be made by the interior designer or the lighting designer, as appropriate, subject to LHI review and approval. LHI encourages the use of energy efficient lighting in all areas of a hotel property except where accent lighting is required. In hotel guestroom and public areas, where the use of compact fluorescent luminaries is determined to be appropriate to the interior design concept, bulbs must have a minimum color rendering index of 84 and, in switch applications, an instant-on type ballast. A warm color temperature of 2700K is required for all compact fluorescent lamps to emulate the color temperature of standard incandescent lighting. Task lighting shall be capable of producing a minimum of 30 foot-candles on the task being performed. 10.

Design Brief GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 1. Provide state-of-the-art "point addressable" fire detection, alarm, and control system connected to an integrated fire control panel in the Fire Command Room. The location of this room, usually at the hotel's front entrance or receiving area, should be confirmed with the local fire department. In addition, mimic the control panel in the SMART Centre. 2. The central fire control panel provides necessary communications and control functions to permit firefighters to monitor and control relevant building systems and direct building evacuation. Features of the control panel include: An alarm amplification and speaker system to provide live voice instructions or pre-recorded instruction to any combination of zones (or all zones). Elevator status indicators to monitor and control the elevators. Indicators to show the operating status of the emergency generator and the fire pumps. Alarm to signal operation of the kitchen exhaust hood fire suppression system. 3. Consult with the local fire department to determine whether a separate firefighters telephone communication system is required in exit stairways, elevators, or other locations. 4. The guestroom alarm system includes the following elements: Hard-wired, two-station smoke detectors with integral audible and visual strobe alerts in each guestroom. Activating a guestroom smoke detector results in a "pre-alert condition for a definable time period, after which a zone alarm sounds. This pre-alert status activates only the individual guestroom's audible and visual alarms and sends the pre-alert signal to the central fire control panel in the Fire Command Room and the mimic panel in SMART. No other functions are initiated until the time delay period is over. After the time delay, evacuation alarming is zoned by floors, generally including the alarm floor plus the floor above and the floor below. Unless otherwise required, authorized persons initiate building-wide evacuation only by key-operated switches at the central fire control panel and the mimic panel in SMART. Provide key-operated alarm abort switches in the same locations. 5. Locate smoke detectors in all elevator lobbies, electrical and mechanical spaces, office areas, storage rooms, and in air-handling unit return air ducts.
