Kyle DelPiano
Variable-Speed Pumping Control Strategies
The design and operation of hydronic systems have changed drastically over the years.
The control of the pumps can have a significant impact on system efficiency and over
all building comfort. This presentation evaluates modern control strategies for variable
speed pumping in HVAC hydronic systems by looking at how the control area or control
curve and diversity of the system can cause coil flow misses when operating at part
load conditions. This course will also examine variable speed curve control and area
control strategies with guidelines on when to apply each.
Speaker Bio:
Kyle DelPiano is the business development manager, Commercial Buildings, for Xylem.
In this role, he works with senior management of water technologies and other
divisions to develop strategic direction for the company’s HVAC market. Kyle has nearly
12 years of experience in the HVAC industry in a variety of sales and training roles.
Kyle graduated from Auburn University in 2007, with a bachelor of science degree in
polymer and fiber engineering, concentration in mechanics. Prior to joining Xylem in
2014, he was a sales engineer with Trane/Ingersoll Rand from 2008-2014, applying his
engineering skills and knowledge to the HVAC industry and combining that with his
outgoing personality and natural ability to cultivate relationships.
He is LEED AP certified and an active committee member of HIA-C Hydraulic Industrial
Alliance. He is a frequent ASHRAE presenter and has been recently nominated to the
ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturers Program.
In addition to numerous technical presentations, Kyle has authored articles that have
appeared in national industry publications on topics such as the advantages of
hydronic systems versus variable refrigerant flow systems (VRF) as well as systems
efficiency and modern pump selection. He recently authored an article on testing
methods for new Department of Energy pump efficiency standards.
Kyle co-developed Xylem’s Part Load Efficiency Value (PLEV) calculation, adapted from
the AHRI IPLV standard load profile used for testing and rating chillers. PLEV is a
standardized load profile that helps system designers calculate the energy
consumption of the pump when a building’s actual load profile is not available to them.
He espouses the benefits of mentorship for career and personal development, having
been on the receiving end of great advice and feedback and also paying it forward by
helping new engineers navigate the hydronic field.
He’s passionate about helping people, whether that’s volunteering through his church,
supporting Xylem’s corporate philanthropy program Watermark or working through a
customer question about hydronic systems.
He wholeheartedly believes his responsibility as an engineer is to never stop learning
and to share his industry knowledge with those around him, inspired by the Auburn
University creed: “I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely
and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.”

Centrifugal Chiller Operation and Efficiency
Including a System Discussion on Optimization
We will discuss the key drivers behind a centrifugal chiller’s
energy consumption, along with design and operational
decisions, that can help improve system efficiency.
Speaker Bio:
Brett Monteleone is the Regional Sales Manager covering
the entire chiller line of business for the South Region. In
his 15 years with York and JCI, he has held different local
and regional positions in Orlando, Jacksonville and now
works directly for JCI’s corporate headquarters in
Milwaukee, WI. In his current role, he is responsible for the
promotion and application of JCI’s entire portfolio of chillers
and heat pumps. His career has been specifically focused
on overall system optimization and design. He has
supported the application of JCI’s chiller offering on projects
throughout the USA and abroad in South America, North
Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean. Seawater cooled
titanium centrifugal, radiator cooled centrifugal and
waterside cascade are just a few of the unique project
applications Brett has lead in his career. Brett holds a BSIE
from the University of Florida and is a LEED Accredited
Professional.

Topic:
Division 25 - Building Operating System Integration & Design
Implementation
Integration. A word and a concept that has been used for decades. It is
one thing to collect data and showcase it on a common dashboard, but
how can we use building data to make a better building and drive
business decisions. Let’s explore the history of integration, how we can
better use that technology, and potential changes in design and
contracting philosophy to reduce scope gaps, increase security, and
provide efficiency in construction and design. Division 25 is where
technology driven projects are heading. How do we get there?
