Our project has a diesel backup generator. Which baseline HVAC system do I use if my building has no heating or air conditioning? What should I use?Ĭan the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) be used to energy model for LEED?Ĭan the Trace 700 'LEED Energy Performance Summary Report' by uploaded to LEED Online in lieu of the Section 1.4 tables spreadsheet? The Section 9 space-by-space method does not include residential space types. How commonly are the 90.1 mandatory compliance forms submitted as part of EAp2/EAc1?
How do I provide a zip code for an international location?įor a project outside the U.S., how do I determine the climate zone?įor a project outside the U.S., how do I determine the Target Finder score?ĭo hotel rooms need automatic light shut-off control? How should this be accounted for?Ĭan mezzanines open to floors below be excluded from the energy model? The project is built on a site with existing exterior lighting installed. Should I use that for my documentation, or 90.1-2007?Ĭan I claim exterior lighting savings for canopy lighting even though a baseline model cannot include shading elements? Our local code references ASHRAE 90.1-2010.
What can we do to earn this prerequisite and be eligible for LEED certification? Is there any flexibility in how we model the p Despite our efforts to make an efficient HVAC design, the cost savings are minimal. Our project has a large process load-75%. Can we exclude it from our model?įor an existing building, do I need to rotate the model? OBC, Volume 2 Supplementary Standard SB-1 Climate and Seismic Data, MMAH 5.

ASHRAE 90.1-2013 (Imperial Edition Read Only) 2. It includes measurements and calculations in both I-P and SI units, sample calculations, application examples, forms to demonstrate compliance, and references to helpful resources and websites. ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2013, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, has been a benchmark for commercial building energy codes in the United States and a key basis for codes and standards around the world for more than 35 years. The 2013 edition combines Standard 62.1-2010 and the ten approved and published addenda to the 2010 edition, thereby providing an easy-to-use, consolidated standard.
The 90.1 User's Manual provides detailed instruction for design of commercial and high-rise residential buildings to ensure compliance with ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2016. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2013 is the latest edition of Standard 62.1. It is an indispensable reference for engineers and other professionals involved in design of buildings and building systems. This standard offers detailed minimum energy efficiency requirements for design and construction of new buildings and their systems, new portions of buildings and their systems, and new systems and equipment in existing buildings, as well as criteria for determining compliance with these requirements. SEAN BEILMAN, P.E., HBDP, LEED AP BD+C 14 yrs as a Mechanical Engineer 9 yrs at BCER Engineering ASHRAE SSPC 90.1 Committee Member ECB Subcommittee Technical Editor of the 90. The American Society for Heating Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers and the Illuminating Engineering Society have issued ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2013, their new Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. It provides the minimum requirements for energy-efficient design of most buildings, except low-rise residential buildings. First alternative compliance path in ASHRAE 90.1-2013. Standard 90.1 is used globally as a benchmark to set MEPS (minimum energy performance standards) and energy codes.
