Office Buildings [Office] Building facts: • • • • Buildings, in general, consume nearly half of all energy produced Fossil fuel consumption will increase globally by 12% over the next 15 years Buildings are the largest contributor to climate change, as large as the transportation & industry sectors combined Most office buildings are unoccupied 40 to 60% of the time . . . . . . It’s time for a different approach. Camino’s Approach to Building Offices: Cost Neutral Installation • Access floor systems are generally construction cost neutral:  Can save up to 12” of floor-to-floor height if used with Underfloor Air Distribution  Significantly reduces overhead work and large duct trunks above the ceiling  Speeds-up the design & construction process with more modular components  Ceiling systems may not be required  Camino’s turnkey solutions are available from design through installation  Minimum post occupancy maintenance Broadest product portfolio • • • Raised Access Floor Systems (RAF) Underfloor Air Distributionn Systems (UFAD) Modular Power & Cable Systems (MPD) Curtain Wall / Building Envelope Floor Slab (not always true and level!) Columns & Structural steel Camino’s Approach to Building Offices: Here’s how our systems & experience come together . . . Perimeter Rail Plenum Wall Floor Angle Building the Linear Perimeter Plenum (CLP): Rails and angles are fastened to the structure to define and support various parts of the linear plenum. Close attention must be paid to where and how these parts are fastened per the architect’s specs. Perimeter Rail Plenum Wall Floor Angle Plenum Baffle Supports Building the Continuous Linear Plenum (CLP): Plenum baffle supports are fastened to the floor with adhesive or screws depending on the building conditions. Perimeter Rail Plenum Wall Floor Angle Plenum Baffle Supports Plenum Baffle Building the Continuous Linear Plenum (CLP): The Plenum Baffle separates the heating “fin tubes” from the cool air passage to allow natural convection and necessary air flow.

Plenum Wall Building the Continuous Linear Plenum (CLP): Spacers and the Plenum Wall are put in place. The Plenum Wall defines the inside edge and separates the larger floor plenum to zone and condition the building envelope separately. Hydronic (water) Fin Tubes Building the Continuous Linear Plenum (CLP): Fin Tubes are placed inside the CLP and soldered together so warm water can flow through the tubes and emit heat to warm the Cool at the surface of the window wall (heat mode).

Building the Continuous Linear Plenum (CLP): Fin Tubes are placed inside the CLP and soldered together so warm water can flow through the tubes and emit heat to warm the Cool at the surface of the window wall (heat mode). Actuator Control Valves (1 per “zone”) Building the Continuous Linear Plenum (CLP): The fin tubes are connected together in a “loop” fashion; each loop is referred to as a “zone” connected to the main boiler and controlled by valves connected to individual thermostats. Variable Air Volume Dampers Building the Continuous Linear Plenum (CLP): Variable Air Volume Dampers (VAV) are installed on the Plenum Wall To control the amount of air that passes through the plenum. The dampers are controlled by actuators connected to the thermostats by zone. Thermostats Thermostat Control Box Building the Continuous Linear Plenum (CLP): Thermostats are wired within their zone to the various dampers and Hot water valves to control the airflow and temperature for occupant Comfort. Thermostats are then connected to the building system. Building the Continuous Linear Plenum (CLP): Let’s review the working system: VAV Module CLOSED position VAV Module OPEN position COOLING MODE HEATING MODE Building the Continuous Linear Plenum (CLP): The Perimeter Plenum is complete and it’s now time to install the Raised Access Floor (RAF) and Modular Power Distribution (MPD) components. Building the Raised Access Floor System (RAF): Canada has among the highest percent usage of RAF systems in office buildings, following Germany and Japan as the forerunners. Building the Raised Access Floor System (RAF): Floor pedestals are adhered to the concrete slab in a predetermined grid to align with the floor panels locations, cut border panels, etc. Building the Raised Access Floor System (RAF): Floor Panels are fastened to Pedestal Heads and accurately adjusted to be laser-level across the entire floor plate. Building the Raised Access Floor System (RAF): The process continues by progressively installing pedestals and floor panels. Building the Raised Access Floor System (RAF): The process continues by progressively installing pedestals and floor panels. Building the Raised Access Floor System (RAF): Specific panels may be omitted where interior air diffusers and other hardware are to be installed. Relocating panels is a key benefit For space plan changes and furniture installations. Building the Raised Access Floor System (RAF): Specific panels may be omitted where interior air diffusers and other hardware are to be installed. Relocating panels is a key benefit For space plan changes and furniture installations. Building the Raised Access Floor System (RAF): The “Vortex” Diffuser effectively stratifies the air for superior air quality and allows for occupant control, easy relocation with very low maintenance. Vortex Diffusers come in both manual and automatic. Building the Raised Access Floor System (RAF): Access Floor Systems allow for Modular Power Distribution; a modular “plug & play” electrical system that also makes space plan revisions quick and easy. Building the Raised Access Floor System (RAF): Once the floor system is installed, the tenant can bring in their furniture system. Modular wire systems easily adapt to the various manufacturer’s connector types. Building the Raised Access Floor System (RAF): Camino Access Floors can be pre-manufactured with stone, wood, vinyl or other custom finishes. Carpet tiles are most popular and now come in 36” square modules to overlap the floor panel joints. Thank you. We hope to see you on your next project! It’s all about the Air... 101 An Introduction to Raised Access Floor Systems Jennifer Pelletier It’s all about the Air... we heat. we cool. we breathe. http://vimeo.com/22702981 It’s all about the Air... What’s the purpose of access floors [RAF]? http://vimeo.com/22702981 It’s all about the Air... Who invented Underfloor Air Distribution [UFAD] ? How long ago? http://vimeo.com/22702981 A long history . . . Roman Hypocaustum Somewhere in Italy Access Flooring & Underfloor Air Distribution 40 years of history . . . • Over 60% of commercial buildings in Europe and Japan use UFAD / AF. • Canada has widely adopted the technology as the norm for office buildings that seek sustainability credentials and performance. • The US has nearly 100MSF of operational UFAD / AF in prominent cities & structures • ASHRAE, along with the Center for Built Environments at Berkeley have recently released a new 2013 Design Guide. • Camino offers the most comprehensive underfloor experience and product line in the industry to help realize your project goals.

UFAD vs. the conventional UFAD vs. the conventional UFAD provides: • Superior air quality through “stratification” compare... • Better thermal comfort & personal control • Energy savings by managing higher cooling temperatures and lower conditioned air volumes (nose to toes) How it works . . . Mix from above? (conventional overhead delivery system) ducted supply air return air plenum • plenum air returns at 75 degrees o 75 F • 55 degree conditioned air o pollutants & spent air forced to mix with air contaminated / spent air Occupied Zone 55 F is forced down through ducts above at higher fan speeds and continuously mixed w/spent air & contaminants within in occupied space. Stratify from below! filtered & conditioned air (under floor air delivery system) • spent air returns at 80 o 80 F degrees pollutants & spent air rise naturally with warm air F Occupied Zone 5.4 F or 3 C o 65 • 65 degree conditioned air is introduced through the open floor plenum at lower fan speeds, forcing contaminants to naturally stratify above the occupied space. How it works from above . . . 1 Traditional Overhead HVAC • designed to mix the air = •the contaminated is mixed Higher pressure conditioned air is introduced thru main trunk ducts from the buildings cooling system. with the fresh air in the occupied zone. • pushing air down= In some cases, only 50% of the conditioned air delivered makes it to the occupied zone. Multi-directional ceiling diffusers mix the ambient air. 2 • out of reach = little opportunity for personal control. • overhead maintenance = 3 Linear ceiling diffusers compensate for solar heat gain at window wall. 4 Air is returned back thru the ceiling plenum to the building’s cooling system more risk of injury • no accessible service plenum = often requires “poke-thru” floor receptacles and power poles. It’s all about the Air... How can we deliver personal [occupant] comfort? http://vimeo.com/22702981 How it works . . . Underfloor Air Distribution • stratifies the spent air = better indoor air quality 4 Spent air rises naturally and is fed back to the building’s cooling system above ceiling height. • lower fan speeds = more energy efficient • operates at higher temps = lower cooling costs • provides personal control= more productive work force 3 Heat / cool linear perimeter diffuser wash the window walls to compensate for outside temperatures. maintained at floor level = less risk for safety incidence 2 In-floor “swirl diffusers allow for personal control. 1 Low-pressure conditioned air is introduced under the floor plenum and allowed to rise. • access floor system = cable / power management • bottom up = 100% of the conditioned air passes through the occupied zone. What’s in a name? “Swirl Diffuser” A recent USGBC study cited individual temperature control can increase productivity by 3.6%. The Center for Built Environments at Berkely cite up to 7% gains. Buildings with higher Indoor Air Quality have reduced absenteeism by up to 2%. In a 100 person office. This equates to over 40 hours of work. High Performance Building Solutions . . .
