FR17C1 This seminar will provide an update on the latest ASHRAE initiatives related to high performance buildings. ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers) for 2010 announced their brand new Standard 189.1 - Standard for the Design of High Performance Green Buildings Except Low Rise Residential Buildings, ASHRAE Building Energy Quotient Program and the continued rollout of the ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guides for various building types. Standard 189.1, a new standard for the design of high-performance green buildings, is set to revolutionize the building industry. Published by ASHRAE in conjunction with the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES) and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), Standard 189.1 is the first code-intended commercial green building standard in the United States. The ASHRAE Building Energy Quotient program is focused on evaluating a building's energy performance, and provides a simple to use A-F Grading system to quickly illustrate how much energy the building uses as compared to its peers. This is similar to Miles Per Gallon gas usage stickers found on all new cars, thus providing an easy to understand "grade" of how a building performs regarding its energy usage. ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guides provide architects & engineers practical advice on how to design low energy use buildings. The Design Guides feature separate publications for specific building types, such as; K-12 Schools, Small Retail, Small Office, Highway Lodging, Small Healthcare Facilities, etc. These design guides are downloadable for free from ASHRAE.
