How Net Zero Buildings Help
Modernize the Grid
The electricity grid was never intended to support a two-way
LED ➙ flow of energy – it was designed as a one-way street from power

plants to buildings. But with the growth of renewable energy
systems and other generation and storage technologies, the grid must be
modernized to accommodate two-way energy transactions.
Demand response technologies and “grid-sensitive” design will be vital
to developing this transactive framework, according to a new white paper
by Alexi Miller and Jim Edelson, ASHRAE associate members and New
Buildings Institute (NBI) representatives. The authors focus on net zero
energy buildings but note that even properties that are not operating at
the net zero level “must be explicitly designed with both active and pas-
sive efficiency and demand response features to optimize the interactions
T5 LED between buildings and the utility grid.”
Emerging Strategies for Grid-Integrated Buildings

Passive design strategies, such as orienting the building carefully, us-
ing natural ventilation where possible, and incorporating overhands and
exterior fins, serve as a kind of built-in demand response because they’re
“always on” to minimize the building’s load profile, the authors explain.
T8 LED However, passive strategies aren’t always realistic, especially for exist-
ing buildings where orientation and fenestration placement can’t change.
Active design strategies that can be retrofitted are increasingly becoming
important to utilities and ESCOs, particularly during demand response
events. Night ventilation and the use of thermal storage tanks with pre-
cooled ice or water to offset daytime cooling are newer active options.
The report also spotlights four emerging technologies that could help
transform buildings’ interactions with the grid. Could one of them benefit
your building?

and your facility’s unique needs.
“Do your own homework,” recommends Jerry Beall, Product and Technical
Specialist for FiberTite Roofing Systems, a membrane manufacturer that partners
with green roof suppliers. “The biggest concern is quality, not cost, because
it will cost you a lot more to fix problems down the road than what you could
save on the initial investment.”
These projects across four ASHRAE climate zones show what’s possible
with rooftop vegetation, from relatively hands-off systems with grasses and
sedums to elaborate installations with flowers, trees and spaces for building
occupants. Which one fits your location and requirements?

The Heat Pump Series
The Oceanaire Heat Pump Series is designed to provide comfort to any

space during cooling and heating seasons. In most applications, heat pumps
generate more heat than comparable electric heaters with the same power.
hot air exhaust
The electronic controller can be set to heat, cool or automatically moderate
the space temperature and air flow.
cool air output The heat pump is a portable heating and cooling unit, that can provide
room air year-round comfort in almost any application.
APPLICATIONS/USES
• Supplemental heat for spaces where the system is inadequate -cold or drafty
offices, lobbies, warehouses, school rooms, daycare centers, retail spaces,
nursing homes - any place where additional heat is needed.
room air • Spot heating of an office or facility when the main heating system is being
serviced - a necessity for facility management companies, multi-unit facilities,
hospitals, schools and universities.
COOLING MODE • Heating of trouble spots in buildings where duct work cannot be installed.
(Many of these same spaces will require cooling during the summer months).

through a round duct
• Return Air Plenum - Plenum that allows for a round duct
to be used to return room air to the unit
• Condenser Plenum - Plenum that allows for round duct
to be used to return air to the condenser
Water-Cooled Cooling
Water-cooled portables are a very efficient source of cooling that allows

you to cool areas where air-cooled equipment will not. By using municipal
water, the water-cooled portables provide air conditioning to out-of-the-way
building areas where condenser air is not available, such as electrical rooms,
laboratories, and small offices. An added benefit: the OWC will cool a space water
without exchanging air in surrounding areas. This feature makes the unit source
connection
a preferred choice for medical locations such as surgical suites and
confinement areas. The OWC is a self-contained air conditioner, equipped
with a regulating valve (for water usage control), a condensate pump, high
pressure reset (for loss of water) and a deluxe electronic control system.
Roll it in, hook it up with the optional hose kit and begin cooling.

Severe-Duty Cart-Mounted Units
In 5 & 12 Ton Capacities
No standard equipment provides "one size fits all" performance.

Our cart mounted series was designed for those applications
where standard equipment isn't appropriate.
These compact portables provide the solution when large

capacity cooling is required indoors or outdoors.
Small enough to wheel inside office buildings and other
institutional spaces, our cart mounted series is ideal for short
or long term cooling requirements. Light and compact,
they provide big capacity. They provide the needed interim
cooling in computer and equipment rooms when dedicated
A/C units must be shut down for repair or service.
On construction sites or during maintenance intervals,

these rugged units provide continous and reliable operation
outdoors in any weather. Powerful blowers support long
duct runs to direct cool air where it's needed. Special built-in
features allow for continous operation even when ambient
temperatures are extreme.
Heavy Duty Cooling To Go!

Custom Cooling Design
Spot Coolers Is Your Resource

For Custom Designed Solutions
To Tough Cooling Problems
Standard portable air conditioning equipment was designed

for interior use. But some situations require heavy duty equipment
that functions in extreme conditions.
That’s why Spot Coolers created its Transportable Temperature

Systems custom build division. Transportable Temperature System's
model line of compact cart and trailer mounted equipment
is built to industrial grade standards. All TTS equipment is rugged,
designed to function seamlessly, regardless of weather conditions.
These custom-built units will run continuously, indoors or outdoors
providing years of reliable operation.
When “off-the-shelf equipment” won't cut it, you need a solution

specifically designed to meet your needs; something that
out-performs everything else. In those situations, we offer turn-key
design, production, and fabrication capabilities. Whether you need
compact design, higher static capability, low ambient operation,
or a specific configuration, Transportable Temperature Systems
can build equipment to meet any exacting specifications.

Create an insulated envelope and capture rainwater. Delivers an R-value of 66 and retains over 70% of rainfall.
Living Roof Offers Retreat

for Hospital Patients
DRIVEN BY FEDERAL CHANGES IN HEALTH-
CARE REGULATIONS, medical organizations are looking
for long-term strategies to conserve operational costs. The Katy
Medical Plaza is a high-performance building thanks in part to
its 15,593-square-foot green roof. Developed by Jacob White
Construction Company and managed by Transwestern, this
Houston-area property earned LEED Gold for Core and Shell.
Accessible to guests,
the roof is lined with a
pathway that encour-
ages movement, reflec-
tion and serene views.
The native vegetation
is composed of gulf
muhly (a type of grass), the flowering perennial Lantana, and
Tradescantia pallida, a groundcover plant in the spiderwort
family. These varieties were selected for their ability to retain
water and thrive in the Texas climate, explains Jeff Mickler,
President of Jacob White.
The roof uses a soil composition that is engineered specifi-
cally for its foliage profile and regional weather patterns.
Weeding is minimal, about 30 minutes a week. While unlikely
to occur, Mickler recommends using a variety of plants so
one disease or pest doesn’t affect the entire system.
The base roof consists of a waterproof coating, 60-mil
reinforced scrim waterproofing membrane that is attached
to the sidewall, and loose laid drainage and filter media.
Non-vegetated aggregate is used in areas without soil. With
an average soil depth of 10 inches, the full roof system has an
R-value of 66.
The vegetation retains 73% of rainfall, totaling 362,819 gal-
lons a year (approximately 30,000 gallons per month). The
remaining runoff from the parking lot, over 134,000 gallons,
is captured in an underground cistern. This collection system
can hold 250,000 gallons of water and satisfies the required
stormwater detention for the site, Mickler notes. The reserve
water is used to irrigate both the roof and 2.5 acres of land-
scaping, as well as to flush toilets. No connection is made to
public utility services for irrigation.
The roof is generally irrigated once a day. If the building’s
internal temperature gets too high, the BAS turns on the air
conditioning and simultaneously waters the roof, explains
Mickler. Using the principles of evaporative transpiration,
this action can cool the roof by 10-15 degrees.

The geofoam used to sculpt MPK 20’s hills and curved fea-

without overloading the roof with too much heavy soil. The
foam layers range from 12 inches up to 48 inches where there

Trees and bushes are planted in wells dug into the foam.
This keeps the roots from penetrating into the building and

weight load. These are things you need to think about early on.”
This project was a new build, so the team had the opportu-
nity to get the waterproofing (a vital component of any roofing
project) right from the start. A green roof retrofit for an existing
building should be paired with a new waterproofing system,
Lambert stresses.
“A green roof is not a roof to cut corners on. The waterproofing
portion has to be detailed, designed and installed at a high level
because once the greenery is in place, it’s more difficult to find a
leak. That sounds basic, but it’s often forgotten,” Lambert explains.
“A lot of people get wrapped up in the vegetation or aesthetics and
forget about making sure it’s watertight. If the plants are beautiful
but the roof leaks, no one is happy.”

Three Phase
Roof Restoration
spreads out costs;
adds 15 years
of warrantied
service life
THE CASE FOR ROOF RESTORATIONS
JUST GOT STRONGER.
Traditionally, there have been only two solutions to nagging or persistent roof
problems: perform ongoing patchwork repairs or make the costly investment of
a complete roof replacement. More recently, facility managers and building owners
have instead begun taking advantage of money-saving roof restoration options
that can be completed at much less cost than a new roof, roof restorations. While
considerably less expensive than replacements, restorations can still deliver a punch
to a maintenance budget. Simon Roofing’s new Three Phase Restoration System
softens that blow by spreading out the expense and comes equipped with a full
15-yr. labor, materials and workmanship warranty and leak-free protection.
With the Three Phase Restoration System, scopes of work customized for your roof
and associated expenses are spread out over a three-year period, with the most critical
repairs happening in year-one. That means annual maintenance budget dollars are
freed to perform other timely building repairs in the facility maintenance world.
Advantages include:
• Work is completed and billed in three phases over a three year period
• Each phase has a separate, customized scope of work for your roof
• R
oof is brought to watertight condition and full 15-yr. warranty takes effect
after completion of phase one
• Less cost and disruption than a replacement
• 24-hour response time to warranty calls
Now when weighing the decision of what to do with a deteriorating commercial

roof, there’s no need to jump to the conclusion that it needs replaced. Using
exclusive formulations created in its own ISO-certified SR Products manufacturing
plant, Simon Roofing has the ability to restore built-up, modified, single-ply, foam
and metal roof systems to an efficient, long-lasting state. For more information or to
see if your roof qualifies, contact Simon Roofing at www.simonroofing.com.
