GreenPark

A Customized Parking Ventilation System

GreenPark System
GreenPark Overview
As cars are parked within an underground parking structure, carbon monoxide (CO) and other exhaust
fumes are emitted into the atmosphere. There is a need for an efficient ventilation system that can remove
these toxins, circulate fresh air into the garage, and assist firefighters in the case of a fire emergency. There
are two options for this task, ducted or ductless ventilation.
While ducted ventilation has been the standard for many years, innovation in the field of ventilation has
shifted the conventional ventilation system towards ductless designs.
The solution is Greenhecks GreenPark system!
What is GreenPark?

GreenPark System Advantages

GreenPark is a ductless car

park ventilation offering that
combines products and services
together to provide a reliable,
energy efficient, and safe car
park ventilation system.

Simplified Design: Financial savings of ductless systems are

realized immediately by eliminating the need to perform a costly
duct design. As a trusted design partner, we can perform the design
work for ventilation and smoke removal so your engineers can focus
on other areas.

Lower Construction Costs: Jet fans have less height than ducts which means less excavation and
lower overall construction costs.

Lower Installation Cost: Less ductwork means less installation time and lower cost.

Reduced Maintenance: Expensive duct cleaning is completely eliminated and the jet fans are more
accessible for maintenance than traditional systems.

Improved Operational Costs: No ducts means less static pressure. Jet fans achieve a more efficient
result using less power than a constantly running ducted system. Additionally, when paired up with CO
sensors, the demand-based system only runs in the areas it needs to, providing additional operational
savings.

Enhanced Safety: Jet fans are more efficient at removing noxious fumes and clearing smoke. The faster
the smoke and fumes are exhausted means improved safety with the added benefit of minimizing the
damage caused to your building.

Design Partner
Greenheck knows that every underground car park has different requirements. This is due to varying
geometries, different building types, or conflicting regulatory agencies. That is why GreenPark is a fully
customized solution that will provide you the highest quality, most cost-effective solution for your region.
GreenPark dedicated engineers can work with you from the beginning stages of building design and assist
with decisions such as supply and exhaust shaft locations, fire zoning, and jet fan placement. As the
design continues, the GreenPark solution can include control sequencing, switching diagrams, and even
provide commissioning. The GreenPark team is ready to assist in order to provide you the system you need!
Contact your local sales representative for details.

Typical Installation
Normal Operation
GreenJet technology draws air into one end of the fan and discharges it at a high velocity at the other end
in order to pass the air to the next GreenJet fan. These fans are arranged to direct the air to a main exhaust
fan that removes the air from the parking garage. Make-up air is then provided through the entrance and exit
ramps or through a dedicated supply fan. This process allows the fans to remove the contaminated air from
the parking garage without the use of costly and unsightly ductwork in the garage.
GreenJet fans can be used with CO sensors to increase the speed of the fan automatically as CO levels rise
within the space. This demand based fan control can save as much as 80 percent of rating costs compared
to traditional ducted systems.

High Temperature Smoke Removal

During a fire, the GreenJet systems flexibility helps to control the fire. Once a fire is detected in the facility,
the GreenJet fans in the applicable area are switched to high speed, as are the main smoke exhaust fans.
The GreenJet fans quickly isolate the smoke and direct it on the shortest path to the inlet ports for the main
exhaust fans to remove the smoke from the building. This action provides full smoke control for the garage
and allows the emergency response teams better access to the facility.

GreenPark Services
Selection Process
The process for specifying and selecting the GreenJet fan is customized for our customers' needs. It is
important for our customers to work closely with their Greenheck representative to ensure the proper
selection of equipment. Although many parameters must be considered in the ventilation design for a parking
garage, Greenheck has developed a short list of items that the customer should consider during this design
process. With this information, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis can be provided of the entire
parking structure showing the proposed location and final quantity and size of GreenJet fans required.

Design Considerations

Design standards (ASHRAE, British Standard, local code, etc.)

Air changes per hour: Normal ventilation mode and emergency exhaust mode

Airflow strategy (east to west, north to south, etc.)

Control strategy: CO extract, smoke only extract or both CO and smoke extract

Location of ramps, wall openings, fresh air and exhaust air vent shafts

Location of obstructions in the parking garage (lobbies, elevators shafts, etc.)

Area and volume of garage

Location of GreenJet fans

CFD Analysis Example

The CFD portion of any project is of extreme importance. This analysis can help the end user accurately
place each of the GreenJet fans for optimal movement of the air in their facility during normal operation as
well as during emergency operation.
The lower left image is a CFD analysis performed in a parking garage showing the CO concentration levels
throughout the garage if no GreenJet fans were employed. This example is a typical garage with supply air
entering via the car ramp as well as a dedicated supply fan. Exhaust fans are placed on the opposite end of
the facility to remove the air.
The lower right image illustrates how the simple installation of several high-performance GreenJet fans
maintain the CO level below the required concentration.
Once the CO levels are deemed acceptable, additional simulations are performed to ensure other criteria
are within acceptable levels such as smoke exhaust, heat concentration, and visibility. As a design partner,
Greenheck can assist with the above design considerations and services, resulting in a safe, efficient, and
comfortable parking garage for the user.

GreenJet
The GreenJet series includes a range of fans to accommodate your needs for parking
garage ventilation. Available in both the unidirectional series (GJ-AU) and the reversible
series (GJ-AR). Both series come standard with inlet and outlet silencers, inlet guards,
mounting feet and aluminum die cast propellers and blades. The GJ-AU series features
a true airfoil design propeller which is designed to move high volumes
of air at a high efficiency in a smaller diameter fan. The GJ-AR series
features a 100% reversible, highly efficient, airfoil blade design.

The basic principles of a GreenJet fan are that it provides the right amount of ventilation in the right location
at the right time and the right price. GreenJet fans are used in conjunction with main exhaust fans and
sometimes supply air fans (when ramps, entrances, etc. are not sufficient to supply the fresh air). The
GreenJet fans are used to move the air to the intake of the main exhaust fans, which then move this air out of
the space.

Right Amount of Ventilation

Right Time

GreenJet fans are typically used in conjunction with

a carbon monoxide (CO) monitoring system and are
available with 2-speed motors as standard. The fan
can be cycled from off to low speed to high speed
using the CO sensor to modify its operation. Several
fans can be grouped together on one CO sensor
or each fan can be individually controlled. The fans
are constantly changing speed throughout the day
based on the quality of air in the area.

With the use of the CO sensors and a good control

system, the fans only need to operate when
required. They also can be operated during a fire
from a remote control station to utilize the correct
fans facilitating the exhaust of smoke from the
building in the most efficient manner.

Right Price
The GreenJet fan does not require any expensive
ductwork or control dampers to be installed
within the ventilation system. This allows the fans
to operate more efficiently than the traditional
system and also eliminates the system loss of the
ductwork, further improving the efficiency of the
system.

Right Location
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to
locate the fans in the parking garage in order to
provide the ventilation at the right location in the
garage. This ensures that fans are located where
they are needed.
