Optimal Run Time (Optimal Start/ Stop):
The Optimal Run Time (ORT) program shall control the start-up and shutdown times of HVAC
equipment during both the heating and cooling seasons to provide the most efficient operating
strategy during potentially energy wasteful periods of the day. The ORT program shall base its control
decisions primarily upon occupancy schedules, outside air temperature, seasonal requirements and
interior room mass temperature of the building.
For start-up, ORT program shall use outside air temperature and room mass temperatures to "learn"
the building's thermal characteristics through an adaptive modeling technique. The adaptive model
shall allow the system to predict how long the building shall take to warm-up (heating mode) or cool -
down (cooling mode) under different outside and inside temperature conditions.
For shutdown, ORT program shall use the outside air temperature and the building thermal
characteristics to determine how early it can shutdown the system without adversely affecting
ventilation requirements.

mode and worst-case condition for every day of the year.
Analysis shall require only easily obtained occupancy schedule data and desired mass temperatures
for implementation.

NETWORK AND EQUIPMENT
periods of the day and conserving electrical energy. The DC program shall base its control decisions
primarily upon interior room mass temperature of the building and configurable Hi and Lo limits.
The DC program shall calculate Off times to provide minimum energy consumption.

indicates that the area is within comfort range, duty cycling takes place.
If temperature approaches the limits of the comfort range, the OFF cycle is reduced.
Each price of equipment assigned to duty cycling shall be assigned a minimum and a maximum OFF
times. A Minimum OFF time ensures that the equipment is protected from damage due to short
cycling. Maximum OFF time guarantees that equipment is brought back into use before space control
is jeopardized.
