Course Length: 6 hours
The 2010 and 2013 versions of ASHRAE Standard 90.1 are becoming widely adopted by U.S. local code authorities and by federal and military building construction management units. The 2016 version of ASHRAE Standard 90.1 adds a new simulation-based performance path for compliance and provides methods for using this new path.
This seminar provides guidance on how to specify and manage the compliance procedures conducted and recognize issues that surface under both design/bid/build and design/build project arrangements. The prescriptive compliance section focuses on reviewing ASHRAE forms and relevant ComCheck submissions and cross-checking the information on standard design documents.
The seminar explains the requirements of the standard and how the requirements are presented in the energy model input and output. Examples of several different energy simulation model platforms are given.
