Changes proposed for standard
The modifications suggested for the 2010 update to ASHRAE’s Standard 90.1 cover air
leakage, day lighting and efficiency issues.
ASHRAE is suggesting 21 changes to its best-known energy-efficiency standard, and wants the public’s input on them.
The changes suggested for the 2010 update to ASHRAE’s Standard 90.1, “Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings,” cover air leakage, day lighting and efficiency issues.
“Our goal is to produce a standard to increase energy efficiency in buildings,” said Mick Schwedler, the standard committee chairman. “Public input from the industry into development of the standard has proven invaluable since it was first published 35 years ago.”
Officials with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers said that if no comments are received between now and April 4, the changes will be put in the standard this fall.
