Project Charter

TITLE: Ventilation Control Panel

I. DESCRIPTION:
 AW Controls Ltd. will design and build a Ventilation Control Panel to control
the air intake for a maintenance room.

II. OBJECTIVES:
 The Ventilation Control Panel will provide power and controls to Intake Fans
(supplied by HVAC Integration LLC.). The system will be fully automated
using a PLC. The panel will also include manual controls for maintenance and
emergency shutdown. The estimated time to complete the project is 5 days
starting on October 7th 2019 and finishing on October 11th 2019. The budget
for the project is $5000.

III. PROJECT SCOPE:

 The scope of work by AW Controls Ltd. is to design, build, and commission a
Ventilation Control Panel. All internal components required to make the panel
fully functional will be supplied and installed by AW Controls. Final field
mounting, field wiring and integration of the control panel will be the
responsibility of the HVAC Integrators- HVAC Integration LLC.
IV. PROJECT DELIVERABLES:
 The Ventilation Control Panel will be designed to meet the customer’s
specifications and control criteria. The Panel will be backed by a 1-year
warranty.
 Considering the requirements of the customer, an existing design template
shall be used to fabricate the needed control panel housing. This is a standard
panel design which happens to be in stock. No panel fabrication shall be
required. Application specific components will be shall be populated on
standard DIN Rails.

V. STAKEHOLDERS (High Level)

 AW controls LTD
 HVAC Integration LLC
VI. STAKEHOLDER REQUIREMENTS (High Level)
1. Project requirements:
 Project update meetings to be held after each task completion involving all
three team members in McMaster B.Tech building every Friday from 5pm to
6pm.
 All changes to project documents must be approved by all three team
members within 2 days.
 Project must be completed over the weekend.
 Control panel design and building plan must be verified and signed by all
stakeholders
 No work will be done during the week days.
 1 hour Project update meetings are to commence on October 7 and repeat
everyday at 11am until the project completion date.
 Scope of the project must be signed off by all stakeholders mentioned prior to
commencement of build.
 Project must be completed and delivered by 12:00am October 11.
 Control panel is to be inspected and approved by plant PEng Certified
engineer upon the completion of control panel and prior to the delivery.
 No work will be done between 7pm and 6am

2. Product requirements:
 Control panel power supply need to be integrated with the HVAC system (240
V-5A).
 The dimension of the control panel needs to be able to fit in the designated
location.
 Ability to adjust and hold the temperature (15-25 Celsius). within the building in
manual mode or automatic mode based on the temperature control sensor
 Ability to control the fan speed.
 Control panel must include an external disconnect switch that is LOTO safe
and also this switch is to be mechanically coupled to disconnect control panel
input and control panel output power simultaneously.
 Control panel must include a glass window that can sustain a minimum ARC
flash rating of 25 cal/cm sq
 Control panel must include mounting brackets and related mounting hardware
to support the weight of control panel with related I/P & O/P wiring and all
related components built into the panel.
VII. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION / DELIVERABLES
 The control panel will be engineered and programmed to control and hold the
temperature of the 10-level building. It is also be able to individually control the
temperature of each floor and fan speed within the range of 15-25 Celsius.
 1 manual instructions
 Testing, installing and commissioning at the building.
