Overall Project Goals
• Update and complete HVAC Model- Previous Senior Design Project
–Developed Partial Diagnostic Model of the ITEB HVAC System
• Develop C++ program, extract and analyze real-time data from the building sensors
• Combine model and code to detect for faults in real-time.

Fall 2012
• Completed and fixed HVAC model
• Met with facilities to ensure model was correct
• Main Limitation
o No Real-time data Hard to develop code

RDS
![Page 14: Real-time Monitoring and Diagnostic Solution for an HVAC System](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051402/56816413550346895dd5c225/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
C++ Coding Goals
• Extract sensor values from text file and determine whether or not a failure is occurring
• Save results to a text file • Import results file into TEAMS-RT• TEAMS-RT will combine code with our model
and determine most probable failure point and associated test cost
![Page 15: Real-time Monitoring and Diagnostic Solution for an HVAC System](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051402/56816413550346895dd5c225/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How to determine a failure
• Set threshold value for maximum deviation from setpoint
• Cannot assume failure after one test
• Initiate a counter to count number of tests in a row that fail
• If consecutive tests trend toward the set point, counter returns to 0
• If deviation from the set point is less than the maximum allowed, counter returns to 0
• If n tests in a row fail and do not approach set point, assume failure

How to arrange code, method 1
Advantages/Disadvantages+ Code is simple- Harder to change n- Lots of files/messy
Sensor 1
Sensor 2
Sensor n
Combine all sensor code to one file and create an n-column text file with results
Input results into TEAMS-RT
![Page 17: Real-time Monitoring and Diagnostic Solution for an HVAC System](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051402/56816413550346895dd5c225/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Method 2
Advantages/Disadvantages+ Code is neat and easy to debug+ Easy to change number of sensors- Coding is difficult
Temperature
Humidity
One code file to extract results from n sensor files and output results into an n-column text file
Input results into TEAMS-RT

Project Limitations
• Cost and time of each failureo Talked to facilities: do not have information
• Obtaining access to actual VAV sensor values

Next Steps: Weekly GoalsMarch 10 - March 16• Multiply our code to work for multiple VAVs• Learn and Read TEAMS-SDK Manual• Label possible reasons of failure for maintenance checks in TEAMS Designer
March 17 - March 23 (Spring Break)• Research associated pricing for each component (including maintenance)
March 24 - March 31• Continue to debug and implement code• Continue step-by-step instructions for maintenance fixes• Add any found costs/maintenance pricing found into TEAMS• Wrap up model + code
April• Contact Moises to check if model is complete• Begin final presentation & report preparation• Wrap up Entire project and present it
