Building Operation and Performance
Chair:
James Robert Fields, ASHRAE
Technical Committee: 7.2 HVAC&R Construction & Design Build Technologies
ASHRAE standards have become building codes throughout North America. Contractors and design build engineers are expected to apply standards to construction projects. In the real world of HVAC hydronic system construction, we find a lack of understanding of basic sections. This workshop takes a common sense approach to specific sections of Standard 90.1 and others that have a direct impact on HVAC installation and design. Then approach this from a real world perspective, explaining why they are needed from an energy and health standpoint. This workshop is about understanding a few important sections and why ASHRAE has included them.
1 Key Impacts of ASHRAE Standards on Waterside Construction and Design
Many ASHRAE Standards Have become building codes. Contractors and Design Build Engineers apply these standards to their projects. HVAC Hydronice systems construction often reveals a lack of awareness and understanding of basic sections. This workshop takes a common sense approach to specific sections of 90.1 and others that have a direct impact on Waterside construction and design. The goal is to approach this from a real world perspective explaining why they are needed from an energy and health standpoint.
2 Impact of ASHRAE Standards on Piping Systems
Design build contractors make a lot of decisions and sometimes the decisions they make have far reaching impacts on system performance and energy consumption. This short presentation is informative to attendees.
