TEST INSTRUMENTATION:<br />

Tables 2 <strong>and</strong> 3 list the data channels used at the restaurants. A slightly different list is<br />

required <strong>for</strong> each site since the HVAC equipment setup is different. In particular, the<br />

Watt Avenue site has one larger (10 ton) unit with 2-stage cooling to condition the entire<br />

room. The Bradshaw Road site, on the other h<strong>and</strong>, has two smaller (6 ton) single-stage<br />

cooling units operating in parallel. Instrumentation <strong>for</strong> fault detection <strong>and</strong> diagnostics<br />

<strong>and</strong> monitoring was set-up <strong>for</strong> one rooftop unit per site, as originally planned in the<br />

project proposal stage. There<strong>for</strong>e, one unit at the Bradshaw Road site was fully<br />

instrumented <strong>for</strong> both FDD <strong>and</strong> DCV purposes, while the second unit was instrumented<br />

only <strong>for</strong> the purposes of collecting data <strong>for</strong> the DCV project. The Watt Avenue site has<br />

only one rooftop unit <strong>and</strong> was fully instrumented according to the st<strong>and</strong>ard data list. All<br />

data will be collected using one Virtual Mechanic at each site.<br />
