ATLANTA — The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) is seeking public input through June 18 regarding the revision of an ASHRAE/IES standard addressing retrofit of existing residential and commercial buildings to achieve greater energy efficiency.
Last year, ASHRAE and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) announced they were revising ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 100-2006, Energy Conservation in Existing Buildings, to provide greater guidance and a more comprehensive approach to the retrofit of existing buildings for increased energy efficiency. The standard was first published in 1981 and, as more attention is being paid to improving energy in today’s current building stock, the need for its requirements has grown.
