Satish Iyengar completed his Engineering and Post-Graduation in Business Management from Mumbai. After a brief stint in CG and a decade in Voltas, he started his own consulting firm “Services Consultants” in 1988 with a PAN INDIA presence specializing in MEP, IBMS and green building consultancy with all design work being done in-house. He has been actively involved in the design of MEP services for large scale energy efficient buildings across India like IT parks, hotels, hospitals, shopping malls, apartments etc. He works with large corporate groups, hotel chains, leading developers and architects across India having worked on more than 2500 projects till date. He has designed India’s first NET ZERO commercial showroom in Bangalore and has received two prestigious awards for the project.
He is one of the founding members of ISHRAE Bangalore Chapter and was actively involved in activities like ACREX, COMFEX, ACREDEX, and Learning Center etc. He was ISHRAE Bangalore Chapter President, Trustee and Chairman of the ISHRAE Foundation Trust and was conferred the ISHRAE President Emeritus Award for many of his innovative works in the industry. He has written articles in the ISHRAE Journal. He was the All India ISHRAE President and President of ASHRAE Bangalore Chapter. He was also the membership chair and students chair of ASHRAE Bangalore chapter. He is a faculty at the ISHRAE Institute of Excellence, and trustee of the Institute. He is also a member of the Electrical Consultants Association and Indian Plumbing Association, FSAI and FOCUS. He is currently a part of the ASHRAE Handbook Committee 2020-2024.
Optimum Services Design involving HVAC, IBMS Parameters and its effect on the efficiency of buildings
A Large Building today can be compared to a Human being. The efficiency of the building depends on various equipment and designs of the engineering working together in a coordinated way. These are namely HVAC systems, Electrical systems, Plumbing systems, Fire Detection and Life safety systems and Building Automation systems, vertical transportation, STP, DGs etc. Each of these systems may run very efficiently alone, but to make the whole combined system of engineering run effectively needs a considerable effort on the part of the designer to make it work. As engineers we should design buildings that reduce energy & water use as they are the next valuable assets that countries and societies will fight for. Optimum design of systems therefore have to be adhered to achieve the highest efficiency. Some of these design strategies will be discussed through this presentation.

Alternative MEP and HVAC systems for energy efficient Buildings
Regularly used MEP and HVAC systems are responsible for almost 60% of any typical office building’s energy needs. With urban areas growing exponentially, this demand is only set to increase. Hence the need for alternate systems to improve MEP and HVAC systems is important. Normally large centralized Air Handling Units (AHUs) move cool air from outside to building interiors. But many other techniques like Radiant cooling, Earth air tunnel for Fresh cooling / heating, Geothermal concepts, Economisers, Heat transfer wheels, Reactive Energy generation in lifts, PID controlled Lighting, Decentralized ventilation units coupled to radiant systems which can take care of moisture control etc. can now be used to complement or in some cases even replace traditional techniques to achieve greater efficiencies. Some of these design aspects are covered in this presentation.

MEP Systems integration over IBMS
Large buildings like office space, hospitals, hotels, Malls etc. have a series of engineering systems like Chillers, AHUs, FCUs, Pumps, Cooling towers, PICVs, Valves, VAVs, Dampers, PHE pumps, Lifts, DG sets, electrical panels, STP, Lighting, etc. to perform efficiently from an operational view point. Multiple system may operate at the same time taking into account the dynamism involved in running air conditioned buildings at different hours in the day. Occupied and un-occupied areas need control techniques that are far complex to a manual intervention to achieve maximum efficiency. Thus the need for automation is thus highly recommended to achieve greater usability and achieve control effectiveness. An integrated building management system is therefore needed. Some methods, protocols, equipment that are used to achieve these control strategies are discussed through this presentation.
