TCAAP Energy Integration Resiliency Framework <br />Policy White Paper – Exhibit I - Definitions <br /> 64 <br />Exhibit I – Definitions <br />The following definitions are provided for those unfamiliar with energy system terminology: <br />Air Handling Unit (AHU) – A central unit consisting of a blower, heating and cooling elements, filter racks or <br />chamber, dampers, humidifier, and other central equipment in direct contact with the airflow. This does not <br />include the ductwork through the building. <br />Active solar – As an energy source, energy from the sun collected and stored using mechanical pumps or fans to <br />circulate heat-laden fluids or air between solar collectors and a building. <br />Alternative-rate Energy Efficiency program assistance – An Energy Efficiency (demand-side management) <br />program assistance that offers special rate structures or discounts on the consumer's monthly electric bill in <br />exchange for participation in Energy Efficiency programs aimed at cutting peak demands or changing load shape. <br />These rates are intended to reduce consumer bills and shift hours of operation of equipment from on-peak to <br />off-peak periods through the application of time-differentiated rates. For example, utilities often pay consumers <br />several dollars a month (refund on their monthly electric bill) for participation in a load control program. Large <br />commercial and industrial customers sometimes obtain interruptible rates, which provide a discount in return <br />for the consumer's agreement to cut electric loads upon request from the utility (usually during critical periods, <br />such as summer afternoons when the system demand approaches the utility's generating capability). <br />Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHATS) – A military training area of Minnesota National Guard and the <br />Minnesota Department of Military Affairs that is directly adjacent to the Rice Creek Commons Project to the <br />east. <br />ASHRAE Bin temperature data – Temperature frequency in 5 F intervals available from American Society of <br />Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers. <br />Boiler – A device for generating steam for power, processing, or heating purposes; or hot water for heating <br />purposes or hot water supply. Heat from an external combustion source is transmitted to a fluid contained <br />within the tubes found in the boiler shell. This fluid is delivered to an end-use at a desired pressure, <br />temperature, and quality. <br />British Thermal Unit (Btu) – The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water 1 <br />degree Fahrenheit. The Btu is a small amount of heat equivalent to the heat released by a burning matchstick. <br />For district heating systems, heat is often measured in million Btus (MMBtu) which is equivalent to one million <br />Btu’s. <br />Building Commissioning - a building performance quality assurance process that begins during design and <br />continues through construction, occupancy, and operations. Commissioning ensures that the new building <br />operates initially as intended by design and that building staff are prepared to operate and maintain its systems <br />and equipment.
