Heat Recovery Project Asbestos Bulk Sampling - Bulk Sample Report
Cornell Task Authorization No. TA-58, Work Order No. 9760977
Delta Project No.: 2017.003.056
Dear Mr. Houseknecht:
Enclosed, please find the Asbestos Bulk Sample Report Form, the associated Laboratory
Analytical Result Sheets, and the Sample Location Drawing for the bulk sampling performed by
Delta Certified Inspector Thomas P. Ferro. The sampling was performed on April 11th, 2017 and
addressed suspect materials with the potential to be impacted by the Snee Hall 4th Floor
Geochemistry Clean Room Renovation Heat Recovery Project. Based on a visual inspection of
the affected Roof and Mezzanine areas and a review of the Project Bulletin / Drawing Set
(Bulletin dated November 21st, 2016), a total of ten (10) bulk samples were collected
representing five (5) homogenous materials. Two (2) of the samples collected were “Non-
Friable Organically Bound” (NOB) representing one (1) suspect homogenous material. The
remaining eight (8) samples were “Non-NOB’s” representing four (4) suspect Homogenous
materials. Results for all samples were reported as being either “Non-Asbestos” or as “No
Asbestos Detected.” It should be noted that there were no suspect materials observed in the
Mezzanine with the potential to be impacted by the project. Based on the above, no asbestos
containing materials are anticipated to be impacted by the Snee Hall 4th Floor Geochemistry
Clean Room Renovation Heat Recovery Project.
Bulk sample analysis was performed by AmeriSci New York, Inc., an independent laboratory
approved / accredited by the NYS Department of Health (ELAP), the American Industrial
Hygiene Association (AIHA), and the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program
(NVLAP). Analysis of all Non-Friable Organically Bound (NOB) materials was initially
performed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) following the NYS DOH ELAP 198.6
Methodologies. If the PLM results were reported as “non-asbestos”, the sample was then
analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) following the NYS DOH ELAP 198.4
Methodology. Analysis of all Non-NOB materials was performed by Polarized Light Microscopy
(PLM) following the NYS DOH ELAP 198.1 Methodology. “Positive Stop” sample analysis
protocol was utilized for a given homogenous material set with multiple samples and based on
this; all 10 of the samples collected were analyzed. Please reference the Asbestos Bulk Sample
Report Form for sample particulars and details.

SECTION 230901 – BUILDING AUTOMATION AND CONTROL SYSTEM
COMMUNICATIONS AND INTEROPERABILITY
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 SUMMARY
A. This section provides the communication and interoperability requirements for building
automation and control system components to be supplied to Cornell. Because the
University's systems have evolved over many years and involve products from multiple
vendors and, in several cases, multiple generations of control systems from single
vendors, attention must be given to the integration of the old and the new. The objectives
of this integration include: providing a mechanism for competitive procurement of
building control products; assisting in meeting the University's energy conservation and
environmental protection goals; improving the operational systems available to our
facilities management and operations staff; reducing, if possible, overall facilities
management costs; and providing an infrastructure for optimizing performance in a
deregulated utility environment.
B. The objectives shall be met by the use, to the extent possible, of existing, widely
accepted data communication standards and practices.

Snee Hall - Clean Room Heat Recovery April 2017
BACS COMMUNICATIONS AND INTEROPERABILITY 230901-7
C. Alarm and Event Management:
1. 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.
2. All alarms and events shall be implemented using standard BACnet event
detection and notification mechanisms. Either intrinsic reporti ng or algorithmic
change reporting may be used, but the intrinsic reporting method is preferred. See
BACnet Clause 13.
3. Alarm Lists
a. The Contractor shall provide devices installed and configured to detect
alarms and events for the points indicated in the system drawings. Software
logic shall be provided to avoid nuisance alarms, e.g., no temperature or
status alarms shall be generated when fan systems are not running, or during
start-up and shut-down transitions. It shall be possible to configure a delay
between the occurrence of an alarm condition and its enunciation.
b. Alarms shall appear at the EMCS and any local operator workstation(s)
within five seconds of their occurrence. The workstations shall display an
alarm message window that appears on top of any other open windows. The
alarm message window shall have a distinctive color and appearance to
attract the operator's attention. Operators with sufficient privilege shall be
able to configure the workstation to emit an audible signal (or not) w hen an
alarm message is received.
c. Alarms that require operator acknowledgement shall cause the alarm
window to remain active until such an acknowledgement is received. If
multiple alarms are received, unacknowledged alarms shall be displayed on a
first come first served basis grouped by priority, with the highest priority
alarms displayed first.
d. Alarms shall be distributed using the BACnet notification class mechanism.
Assignment of classes and destinations shall be configured according to
details provided by the Owner. One destination shall, in all cases, be the
EMCS.
e. BACnet provides a mechanism for prioritizing alarm and event notification
messages using a numerical range of 0-255 with 0 being the highest priority
and 255 being the lowest priority. The priorities presented in the Table 1 are
consistent with the safety requirements of UL 864 (applies to fire systems)
and UL 1076 (applies to security systems).
f. Alarm and event notification priorities shall be configured in the Priority
Range as indicated in Table 1 (See end of section) and shall be conveyed
using the indicated Network Priority.
4. Alarm Acknowledgment: Alarms shall be acknowledged through the EMCS alarm
acknowledgement process.
5. Alarm Summarization: Alarm summarization shall be handled through the EMCS
alarm summarization process.
6. Alarm Parameter Adjustment: Operators with sufficient privilege shall be able to
change alarm parameters for all standard BACnet event types.

BACS COMMUNICATIONS AND INTEROPERABILITY 230901-8
7. Alarm Routing Adjustment
a. Operators with sufficient privilege shall be able to change alarm routing
(BACnet notification classes) for each alarm including the destination for
each type of alarm and alarm priority, the day of week and time of day, and
the type of transition involved (TO-OFF-NORMAL, TO-NORMAL, etc.).
b. Initially, notification classes shall be configured in a manner that
distinguishes between the EMCS and any local workstation, if provided.
D. Scheduling:
1. Scheduling is the exchange of data between BACnet devices related to the
establishment and maintenance of dates and time at which specified output actions
are to be taken. All schedules shall be implemented using BACnet objects and
messages.
2. Schedule Lists
a. The Contractor shall provide devices installed and configured with
start/stop, mode change, and night setback schedules as defined in the
sequence of operations. As part of the installation process, the Contractor
shall configure vacation, holiday, and any special event schedules as
provided by the Owner.
b. The system shall have the ability to program alterations to programmed
operating schedules based on the priority of events and shall include the
following scenario:
c. Based on operator privileges, the operator shall have the ability to
temporarily override the programmed schedule of equipment. Operational
override of a programmed schedule shall be for a specific duration following
which the schedule shall revert back to the preprogrammed schedule.
3. Display of Start and Stop Times and Actions: An operator shall be abl e to
inspect the content of any schedule and determine the specific control actions
that will occur at any time, on any date. For any particular device or system
parameter that is the subject of a schedule, an operator shall be able to determine
the schedule of actions related to that particular device or parameter.
4. Modification of Schedules: All calendar entries and schedules shall be
modifiable from the EMCS or local workstation by an operator with sufficient
privilege.
E. Trending:
1. Trending is the accumulation of (time, value) data pairs at specified rates for a
specified duration. Trends are distinguished from real -time plotting of data by the
fact that the data are destined for long-term storage.
2. Archival Storage of Data: Archival storage of data will be handled by the EMCS.
However, the Owner may specify local trend archiving and display through the use
of BACnet Trend Log objects.
3. Modification of Trend Log Parameters: An operator with sufficient privilege shall
be able to change the data points to be logged, the sampling rate, and the duration
of a trend log.

Operators shall have the ability to display and modify the routing table
entries in all supplied BACnet half-routers and routers and the broadcast
distribution and foreign device registration tables in all BBMDs.
3.3 USE OF BACNET OBJECTS
A. This clause provides requirements that are specific to the representation of data and
functionality using BACnet objects.
B. Naming Conventions: The following sections list the requirements for the assignment of
names and identifiers for BACnet objects.
1. Device Names
a. The EMCS uses a system for naming its control devices based on facility
name, location within a facility, the system or systems that the device
monitors and/or controls, or the area served. Names can be up to 254
characters in length, without embedded spaces. Only the characters A -Z, 0-
9, ".", and "-" may be used. The goal is the shortest descriptive, but
unambiguous, name. For example, if there is only one heating water pump
"P1", a valid name would be "TEGLE.HW.P1.CONTROL".
Cornell University IPD Project # 13-7700A
Snee Hall - Clean Room Heat Recovery April 2017
BACS COMMUNICATIONS AND INTEROPERABILITY 230901-10
b. If there are two pumps designated "P1", one in the basement mechanical
room and one in the penthouse mechanical room, the names could be
"TEAGLE.BSMT.HW.P1.CONTROL" or "TEAGLE.PENT.HW.P1
CONTROL". In the event of unitary controllers, for example a VAV box
controller, a name might be “TEAGLE.122.TV-LOUNGE”. These names
should be used for the value of the "Object_Name" property of the BACnet
Device objects of the controllers involved so that the BACnet name and the
EMCS name are the same.
2. Device Instance Numbers
a. BACnet allows 4194305 device instances per BACnet internetwork, each of
which must be unique. Cornell's unique device instances are formed as
follows: Device Instance = "FFFFNDD" where:
i. FFFF is the Facility Code (see below)
ii. N is 0-9; this allows up to 10 networks per facility or building
iii. DD is 00-99; this allows up to 100 devices per network
b. Facility Code assignments are currently:
0000-0999 Open
1000-1999 Statutory Facilities
2000-2999 Endowed Facilities
3000-3999 Housing and Dining Facilities
4000-4999 Off-Campus Facilities
5000-5999 Utilities
c. Some facilities have a facility code with an alphabetic suffix to denote
wings, related structures, etc. The suffix will be ignored. Network numbers
for facility codes above 4193 will be assigned in the range 0000-0999.
d. The Contractor shall contact the Computer Section for assignment, or
confirmation, of the Facility Code to be used prior to beginning device

of 100,000 Amps and this rating shall be indicated on the UL data label.
4. The bypass shall maintain positive contactor control through the voltage tolerance win-
dow of nominal voltage +30%, -35%. This feature is designed to avoid contactor coil
failure during brown out / low line conditions and allow for input single phase operation
when in the VFD mode. Designs that will not allow input single phase operation in the
VFD mode are not acceptable.
5. Motor protection from single phase power conditions - the bypass system must be able to
detect a single phase input power condition while running in bypass, disengage the motor
in a controlled fashion, and give a single phase input power indication. Bypass systems
not incorporating single phase protection in bypass mode are not acceptable.
6. The bypass system shall be designed for stand-alone operation and shall be completely
functional in both Hand and Automatic modes even if the VFD has been removed from
the system for repair / replacement. Serial communications shall remain functional even
with the VFD removed. Bypass systems that do not maintain full functionality with the
drive removed are not acceptable.
7. Serial communications – the bypass shall be capable of being monitored and / or con-
trolled via serial communications. On-board communications protocols shall include
ModBus RTU; Johnson Controls N2; Siemens Building Technologies FLN (P1); and
BACnet MS/TP.
8. The user shall be able to select the text to be displayed on the keypad when an external
safety opens. Example text display indications include “FireStat”, “FreezStat”, “Over
pressure” and “Low suction”. The user shall also be able to determine which of the four
(4) safety contacts is open over the serial communications connection.
9. Smoke Control Override Mode (Override 1) – The bypass shall include a dedicated digi-
tal input that will transfer the motor from VFD mode to Bypass mode upon receipt of a
dry contact closure from the Fire / Smoke Control System. The Smoke Control Override
Mode action is not programmable and will always function as described in the bypass
User’s Manual documentation. In this mode, the system will ignore low priority safeties
and acknowledge high priority safeties. All keypad control, serial communications con-
trol, and normal customer start / stop control inputs will be disregarded. This Smoke
Control Mode shall be designed to meet the intent of UL864/UUKL.
10. Fireman’s Override Mode (Override 2) – the bypass shall include a second, programma-
ble override input which will allow the user to configure the unit to acknowledge some
digital inputs, all digital inputs, ignore digital inputs or any combination of the above.
This programmability allows the user to program the bypass unit to react in whatever
manner the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requires. The Override 2 action
may be programmed for “Run-to-Destruction”. The user may also force the unit into
Override 2 via the serial communications link.
