Designers of systems for a university building, a cancer center, an ice rink, and other commercial building were recognized by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) for incorporating elements of innovative building design.
Guidance on increasing energy efficiency in existing buildings through measuring and tracking efficiency and implementing an efficiency plan is featured in a new book, Energy Efficiency Guide for Existing Commercial Buildings: Technical Implementation.
Designers of systems for a university building, a cancer center, an ice rink, and other commercial building have been recognized by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) for incorporating elements of innovative building design.
Current practices related to hot industry topics, such as energy modeling, high-performance buildings, and integrated design, are featured in the technical program at the ASHRAE 2012 Winter Conference.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a ruling that establishes the ASHRAE/IES 2010 energy-efficiency standard as the commercial building reference standard for state building energy codes.
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) has released an updated guidance on building energy audits. The second edition of Procedures for Commercial Building Energy Audits promotes best practices, provides how-to’s, and fills a void in available information, said ASHRAE.
Following its analysis that ASHRAE’s 2010 energy efficiency standard contains significant energy savings over the 2007 standard, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a ruling that establishes the 2010 standard as the commercial building reference standard for state building energy codes.
A signed memorandum of understanding brings together the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to improve energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of buildings.
Guidance is available to help design teams constructing K-12 school buildings cut annual energy use by 50 percent or more using off-the-shelf technology.
