5. Set terminal units at minimum airflow and adjust controller or regulator to deliver the
designed minimum airflow. Check air outlets for a proportional reduction in airflow the
same as described for constant-volume air systems.
a. If air outlets are out of balance at minimum airflow, report the condition but leave
outlets balanced for maximum airflow.
6. Remeasure the return airflow to the fan while operating at maximum return airflow and
minimum outdoor airflow.
a. Adjust the fan and balance the return-air ducts and inlets the same as described for
constant-volume air systems.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS
2.1 CONTROLLERS
A. General: The control system shall consist of an inter-network of controllers. It is intended to
allow cost-effective application of manufacturers’ standard products while maintaining the
integrity and reliability of the control functions commensurate with their application.
B. Building- and system-level controllers shall be capable of operating independently, in stand-
alone fashion, with no communication to other devices on the network while performing their
monitoring and control routines using programs and operating parameters stored in the
controllers’ memory. All points and functions that make up a functional system (typically that
are shown on one control schematic) shall be included in one controller to qualify for this stand-
alone functionality.
C. Where control sequences depend on global variables such as outside-air temperature, the
controller shall have the capability of either using the last value or a default value. Examples of
required functional point groupings are as follows:
1. All points and functions required to control an air handler with all directly associated
supply, return, and exhaust fans. This excludes the terminals that may be associated with
that air handler. Values that may be received across the network include humidity,
terminal-based reset parameters, and smoke modes.
2. All points associated with the supply side of a hydronic system such as pumps, flow
meters, temperature and pressure sensors, proof indications, valves, etc. This excludes the
terminals on that hydronic system. Values that may be received across the network
include outside-air temperature and humidity, emergency power source indication, and
terminal-based reset parameters.
CCC – ROOM 330D RENOVATION CORNELL UNIVERSITY 1714
17067CDs BUILDING AUTOMATION CONTROL SYSTEM 23 09 23 - 8
3. All points and functions required to control one terminal system including dampers,
valves, flow meters, temperature and humidity sensors, etc. This does not include the
scheduling period or any outside air that may be necessary for control.
D. Controller software must be capable of detecting hardware and software failures and forcing all
outputs to a predetermined state, consistent with the failure mode requirements defined on the
drawings. In this state it shall issue an alarm.
E. Controllers must include sufficient memory for all required operation and all required trending,
when trending is buffered in the controller. Where control system operation is hindered by the
shortage of memory, contractor shall, at no cost to the Owner, either upgrade the memory or
provide multiple controllers. The mix of points for multiple controllers shall not violate the
stand-alone requirements.
F. Volatile memory is required to be backed up in the event of power loss. Software stored in non -
volatile memory will not have to be downloaded from the central server after an interruption of
power occurs.
G. Controllers used for time-scheduled operations must be equipped with a battery backed internal
real-time clock function to provide a time base for implementing time-dependent programs.
Provision shall be made for the routine updating of the controllers’ clocks via a time master.
H. Resumption of power after an outage shall cause the controllers to automatically restart and
establish communications as needed by their applications. Controller shutdown based on a self-
diagnosed failure in the power supply, hardware, or software must set each piece of controlled
equipment to a predetermined failure mode.
I. Controllers shall be powered from the most reliable source that powers any of the systems it
serves. In the situation where a controller will be required to continuously collect data to be
transmitted to a workstation, or where it monitors critical recovery information such as the
presence of emergency power, it may be necessary to provide a UPS for the controller as well as
any critical sensors. Where panels are provided with a different power source as the equipment
(such as when the panel is on a UPS), the panel shall be provided with a means of monitoring
the power source to the controlled equipment. This can be a dedicated power monitor or a value
coming from transfer switch contacts.
2.2 SENSORS

accessible location (e.g., the device must be accessible at floor level without the use of a
ladder). No device shall require shutting down a building system for calibration.
C. Devices that are installed in an exposed location (i.e., not mounted within a cabinet) must be
suitable for such installations (e.g., do not install a device that is intended to be installed in a
cabinet in an exposed location).
3.2 BACS CONFIGURATION
A. Vendors providing controls for Cornell University shall maintain site-wide configuration
documentation. Whenever the BACS is extended, the documentation required in this section
shall be provided/updated per configuration management requirements to reflect the entire
installation on the campus. Device naming and addressing must conform to Cornell’s specific
conventions as detailed in Cornell Design & Construction Standard 15956. No device will be
connected to a Cornell network until these conventions have been understood and met.
B. Acceptable Manufacturer: Automated Logic Corporation
CCC – ROOM 330D RENOVATION CORNELL UNIVERSITY 1714
17067CDs BUILDING AUTOMATION CONTROL SYSTEM 23 09 23 - 14
3.3 CONTROL PANELS
A. Control panels and enclosures housing the controllers shall be coordinated to the extent
possible, to share vertical and horizontal wire-ways to facilitate and minimize the cost of home-
runs to terminal equipment.
B. Control panels shall be located in equipment rooms, where practicable, and i n locations
maintaining ambient conditions between 50 deg F and 90 deg F and 10% to 85% relative
humidity. Control panels located in areas where conditions are outside of these ranges shall
have enclosures outfitted with heating or cooling devices to provide the proper environmental
conditions. Hoffman style enclosures with removable back plates and keyed, hinged covers
shall be used. Enclosures shall be rated NEMA 4 when located in mechanical spaces and
NEMA 1 when located in occupied spaces.
C. Cornell must have quick, direct access to all control panels to maintain building integrity similar
to that provided for fire emergencies without going through user spaces. Fiel d panels shall be

shall be in areas with easy access. Protection and separation for user activities will be provided.
D. Fabrication:
1. The Contractor shall size the panel such that no more than 80% of the surface of the
enclosure back plate is used.
2. Plastic wire way (e.g., Panduit) shall be used to organize all wiring in the panel.
3. Sufficient wire way shall be provided in the panel such that it is filled no more than 80%

controllers shall also be configured and programmed to carry out the sequences of operation
contained in the project documents. While Section 23 09 25 contains several constraints on the
controller system architecture, it is recognized that a variety of configurations may be equally
acceptable. For example, it may be possible to meet the project requirements with a single large
controller or several smaller ones. Therefore, this guideline does not generally prescribe
controllers' system architecture or controllers' detailed characteristics, such as processor speed,
amount of memory, amount of I/O, power supply details, etc.
B. Since these guidelines with respect to controllers are performance oriented, rather than
prescriptive, they will generally refer simply to “controllers” meaning computers capable of
direct digital control. In those cases where distinguishing between controllers with differing
capabilities is needed, the following nomenclature will be used (and is also defined in
Section 23 09 25):
CCC – ROOM 330D RENOVATION CORNELL UNIVERSITY 1714
17067CDs BUILDING AUTOMATION CONTROL SYSTEM 23 09 23 - 15

PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.1 GENERAL
A. This clause provides specific interoperability and networking requirements that pertain to the
use of BACnet.
3.2 REQUIREMENTS BY INTEROPERABILITY AREA
A. This clause provides requirements pertaining to the five interoperability areas of data sharing,
alarm and event management, trending, scheduling, and device and network management.
1. Data Sharing: Data Sharing requirements apply to the exchange of information between
BACnet devices for archival storage, generating graphics and reports, the sharing of
common sensor or calculated values, carrying out interlocked control strategies, and the
modification of set points or other operational parameters. All such data to be exchanged
shall be represented as BACnet objects and conveyed using BACnet messages. Only
standard BACnet objects and messages may be used to implement data sharing
requirements unless the non-standard extensions are explicitly approved by the Owner.
Any extensions to BACnet shall be fully documented in the manner used within the
BACnet standard. Submission of such documentation is a prerequisite for obtaining
approval of an extension.
a. Points List: The Contractor shall provide devices installed and configured with all
points indicated in the BACS points list. The Contractor shall provide any
additional points needed to fully implement the sequence of operations and other
functionality described in this specification.
b. Data Presentation: In the event that workstation/web server capabilities have been
specified, the following characteristics shall apply to graphic displays:
1) The graphic displays shall include schematic diagrams of the systems being
displayed.
2) When a graphic display is being viewed all values displayed shall be
updated when a change of value (COV) notification is received or, if COV
is not implemented, within five seconds.
3) Any data value from any networked device shall be available for plotting at
a workstation in real time. The operator shall be able to select binary and
analog data concurrently and to plot multiple instances of each data type on
the same screen. The operator shall be able to select sampling intervals from
1 second to 60 seconds. For devices that implement COV reporting, the
operator shall be able to select this as the means to update the plot. It shall
be possible to save such real-time plots for subsequent recall.
c. Monitoring of Any Property: The operator shall be able to display any value of any
property of any object from any networked device including all properties required
by BACnet, all supported optional properties, and any proprietary extensions.

be able to modify all control loop set points and tuning parameters via BACnet
messages initiated through operator interaction with graphics displays.
f. Peer-to-Peer Data Dependencies: All BACnet devices shall be installed and
configured to exchange data values directly, without the need for operator or
workstation intervention, to implement the sequence of operations specified in the
mechanical system drawings and to share global data values.
2. Alarm and Event Management:
a. Alarm and Event Management is the exchange of data between BACnet devices
related to the occurrence of predefined conditions that meet specific criteria. Such
conditions are called “events” and may be the basis for the initiation of a particular
control action in response or the simple logging of the event’s occurrence. The
event may also be deemed to represent a condition that constitutes an “alarm”
requiring human acknowledgment and intervention.
b. All alarms and events shall be implemented using standard BACnet event
detection and notification mechanisms. Either intrinsic reporting or algorithmic
change reporting may be used but the intrinsic reporting method is preferred. See
BACnet, Clause 13.
c. Alarm Lists:
1) The Contractor shall provide devices installed and configured to detect
alarms and events for the points indicated in the system drawings. Software
