Standard 90.2: The Path to Performance

The revision of ASHRAE Standard 90.2‐2007 represents a new approach in residential building energy performance. This new Standard 90.2 seeks to deliver residential building energy performance that is at least 50% more efficient than the energy efficiency defined by the 2006 IECC. Key to accomplishing this objective is delivery of an accurate, flexible performance‐based tool to enable user creativity in meeting the performance objectives. This presentation describes the pathway to transform the standard.
