Technical Committee: 2.8 Building Environmental Impacts and Sustainability
This workshop explains the results of a recent ASHRAE research project, 1627-RP, that studied the actual performance of buildings built using the ASHRAE 30% AEDG for schools and offices. Can we replicate the study to investigate the performance of buildings built using Standard 90.1? What will we find? Can the results be used to improve our future standards and publications?
1 Highlights of 1627-RP: Actual Energy Performance of Small Office and K-12 School Buildings Designed to Meet the 30% ASHRAE Advanced Energy Design Guides

This workshop discusses the results of 1627-RP, completed in 2016. This research investigated the effectiveness of 30% Advanced Energy Design Guidelines (AEDGs) for K-12 schools and small office buildings, determined the factors common to well and poorly performing buildings and provided recommendations for how future AEDGs could be made more effective.
2 Potential New Research on the Actual Energy Performance of Buildings Designed to Comply with ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010

Using the recent success of 1627-RP as a template, this workshop discusses the potential for additional research projects that identify statistically-significant samples of real buildings built using Std 90.1-2010. Can this type of research be replicated to provide real-world input to future ASHRAE Standards and publications? What guidance can the actual performance of these buildings provide?
