Addenda to Standards 62.1, 189.1 and More Open for Public Review
Public Reviews, February 2019
ASHRAE Standard 18-2008 RA-2013, Methods of Testing for Rating Drinking-Water Coolers with Self-Contained Mechanical Refrigeration
The following is under a 45-day public review from Feb. 8 to March 25:
1st Withdrawal Public Review of ASHRAE Standard 18-2008 RA2013
The Technical Committee supports the withdrawal based on a lack of support to revise the document. This standard has no reported sales and has since lost its ANSI’s designation.
BSR/ASHRAE Standard 24- 2013R, Methods of Testing for Rating Evaporators Used for Cooling Liquids
The following is under a 45-day public review from Feb. 8 to March 25:
1st Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE Standard 24- 2013R
This revision of Standard 24-2013 updates references, makes minor editorial changes, and adds a requirement for both uncertainty analysis and the use of liquid enthalpy for the calculation of total refrigerant capacity.
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2016, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality
The following is under a 45-day public review from Feb. 8 to March 25:
2nd Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE Addendum s
The ventilation rate procedure in 62.1-2016 contains requirements in notes. This proposed addendum relocates requirements to the body of the standard. Another proposed change is to clarify that in the presence of unusual sources the rates in the VRP must be supplemented by additional ventilation to be determined by the IAQ procedure or an EHS professional. The default values per person in Table 6.2.2.1 (Minimum Ventilation Rates in Breathing Zone) do not contain any adjustments for Ev and in many cases are taken out of context. They are not used in the ventilation calculations. These values are deleted.
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2016, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Residential Buildings
The following is under a 30-day public review from Feb. 8 to March 10:
1st Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE Addendum v
This proposed addendum updates the normative references in Section 9 (References) of Standard 62.2.
ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/ USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2017, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings
The following is under a 30-day public review from Feb. 1 to March 3:
2nd Public Review ISC of BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/ USGBC/IES Addendum b
This ISC would limit the use of the “Section 7.4.1.1.2, Alternate Renewables Approach: Reduced On-Site Renewable Energy Systems and Higher-Efficiency Equipment” to building projects that are less than 25,000 square feet. This threshold is the same as that for the simplified mechanical system approach for compliance with ASHRAE 90.1, which is also 25,000 square feet. Larger buildings will be able to comply with the standard by either complying prescriptively to the onsite renewables requirements in Section 7.4.1.1.1 or calculating trade-offs between energy efficiency and on site renewables by using the performance approach in Section 7.5.
The following is under a 45-day public review from Feb. 1 to March 18:
3rd Public Review ISC of BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/ USGBC/IES Addendum bm
Addendum bm adds the option under the energy performance path in Standard 189.1 of modeling district energy systems that are not wholly contained within the project site boundary. This independent substantive change to the addendum makes changes to the language intended to improve clarity and correct some errors contained in the 2nd public review ISC version.
BSR/ASHRAE Standard 205P, Standard Representation of Performance Simulation Data for HVAC&R and Other Facility Equipment
The following is under a 60-day public review from Feb. 8 to April 9:
1st Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE Standard 205P
The purpose of ASHRAE Standard 205-201x is to facilitate sharing of equipment characteristics for performance simulation by defining standard representations such as data models, data formats, and automation interfaces.
ANSI/IAQA-RIA 6001-2011, Evaluation of HVAC/Mechanical System Surfaces to Determine the Impact from Fire Related Particulate
The following is under a 45-day public review from Feb. 8 to March 25:
1st Withdrawal Public Review of ANSI/IAQA-RIA 6001-2011
ASHRAE is announcing it is withdrawing this standard.
ASHRAE Guideline 41P, Design, Installation and Commissioning of Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems
The following is under a 45-day public review from Feb. 8 to March 25:
1st Public Review of ASHRAE Guideline 41P
Guideline 41P provides a procedure for the design, installation, and commissioning of Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems.
