ASHRAE Standard 183 is now embedded in energy codes across most U.S. jurisdictions, and many engineering teams don't know their current load calculation workflows may not meet it.
To produce the new cooling tower, Delta has opened a manufacturing facility in West Virginia, equipped with what the company describes as North America's largest molding equipment of its kind.
Examining more closely how a building’s sensible and latent loads can be more effectively met opens numerous design possibilities, ES NEWS guest contributors argue.
The “National Definition of a Zero Emissions Building: Part 1 Operating Emissions” is a comprehensive guideline aimed at providing a broadly accepted minimum standard for what constitutes a zero-emissions building.
It contains 125 addenda published since the 2013 standard
