Standard 90.2 in a Diverse Residential Marketplace

Residential buildings are responsible for over 22% of total US energy use. Recognizing the role of residential buildings on energy demand, environmental impact and economic development, ASHRAE has been working to revise Standard 90.2 to better address these and other topics. Concurrently, ASHRAE has engaged a diverse array of residential stakeholders within and outside of ASHRAE to determine the scope of needs in the residential marketplace, and to determine ASHRAE’s role in addressing those needs. This presentation explores the diversity of residential stakeholders ASHRAE seeks to engage and the possible opportunities for 90.2 to impact the residential built environment.
