ASHRAE Insights December 2014 1
If any doubt existed in the minds of the heating and ventilating industry as to whether the industry is big enough to maintain its own show, this doubt was dispelled by the success achieved by the f irst National Heating and Ventilating Exposi-tion, which was held in the new Madison Square Garden, New York, March 17 23 (1926). It was not a large show, as shows go. But what there was of it was snappy and interesting. The crowds in attendance were satisfactory and at times even large. More impressive than anything else were the comments of the exhibitors themselves expressing their satisfaction with the initial effort and their readiness to back the show for
another year.One of the most significant develop-
ments was the attitude of those who had given the exhibition idea faint support, or had openly opposed it. They were won
over by what they saw. The situation was well expressed by President
William H. Driscoll of the American Soci-ety of Heating and Ventilating Engineers.
I am very well pleased, he said, with the showing made and am sure the exposi-tion can be made a much greater success another year.

Falcon Chapter Signs MOU on UAE CodesDUBAI, United Arab EmiratesThe ASHRAE Falcon Chapter and the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA) recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to advance the mutual interest of their respective mem-bers and collaborate in energy codes, standards, communication and research. ESMA is the national standards body in the UAE, responsible for issuing standards and technical regulations that serve quality, health, safety and the environment.
The signing took place at the 4th Symposium for Alternative Refrigerants for High Ambient Countries, which was organized in part by ESMA and the Falcon Chapter, along with several other international and regional associations and organizations.
H.E. Abdulla Al Maeeni, ESMA director general, signed the MOU with Ahmed Alaa Eldin Mohamed, regional vice chair of Grassroots Government activities for the ASHRAE Region-At-Large. The MOU ensures the collaboration between the chapter and ESMA on common public affairs goals and ideologies. During annual liaison meetings, public affairs strategies will
be discussed and common goals identified. Numerous collaborative opportunities to be considered include: Joint promotion of codes and standards at the local, state and national levels in the fields of HVAC&R equipment and systems and building performance; Promotion of mutually beneficial positions during the develop-ment and passage of municipal and national legislation; Education of legislators on issues important to the members of each organization; and Creation of a national system of measurement and calibration.
New 189.1 Incorporates 67 Addenda
New requirements to further reduce energy and environmental impacts of build-ings are contained in the 2014 version of the green building standard from ASHRAE, the U.S. Green Building Council and the Illuminating Engineering Society.
ANSI/ASHRAE/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2014, Standard for the Design of High-Performance, Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, addresses the areas of site sustainability; water-use ef-ficiency; energy efficiency; indoor environ-mental quality; and the buildings impact on the atmosphere, materials and resources.
The 2014 standard incorporates 67 ad-denda, reflecting changes made through the public review process since the standard was last published in 2011. Appendix H gives brief descriptions and approval dates of the addenda included in this new edition.
The new standard updates all of its sections to reflect the latest information available to the committee, said Andrew Persily, chair of the Standard 189.1 com-mittee. Compliance with these updated provisions will help further reduce energy and environmental impacts through high performance building design, construc-tion and operation while providing indoor environments that support the activities of building occupants.
Major changes in the 2014 edition include: Energy: Significant updates are in-cluded to reflect the publication of Standard 90.1-2013, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, including revised building envelope provi-sions. Fenestration orientation requirements were updated based on new research, as well as changes and updates made to equipment efficiency tables, Energy Star references and continuous air-barrier re-quirements. Energy Performance, Carbon Dioxide Emissions, and Renewables: Changes and clarifications are included to reflect changes to Standard 90.1. Carbon dioxide emission factors for different energy sources are updated. Indoor Environmental Quality: Light-ing quality is added to the scope of this section, and requirements are added for lighting controls in specific space types. Requirements for air sealing of filtration and air-cleaning equipment are clarified, and new requirements for preoccupancy ventilation and building envelope moisture management are added. Site Sustainability: All site require-ments are now mandatory, with prescrip-tive and performance options moved to the mandatory requirements. Requirements for stormwater management are enhanced, and new requirements added for bicycle parking and for preferred parking for low-emission, hybrid and electric vehicles. New require-

2015 ASHRAE Winter ConferenceGuidance to help ensure that homes
are energy efficient and have good indoor environmental quality will be featured in several Technical Program sessions at the 2015 ASHRAE Winter Conference, to be held Jan. 24 28 in Chicago.
More time and energy is spent in residential environments than any other environment, said Max Sherman, who chaired a Presidential Ad Hoc Committee on the Residential Construction Market that developed a report titled ASHRAE and the Residential Construction Market.
The ASHRAE Board of Directors recently acknowledged that by creating a Residential Committee and by making residential an initiative in the Societys newly adopted Strategic Plan. Similarly ASHRAEs mission of providing technical information cannot be achieved without consideration of residential information and guidance, said Sherman. Starting in Chi-cago, we will see an increase in the number
of residential programs available for the professional. This residential guidance is not just for the consulting engineer but is intended for broader residential stakehold-ers as well.
Sherman noted that for the last several generations ASHRAEs emphasis has shift-ed more to commercial and institutional occupancies and away from where people spend most of their time.
In the last year, given the amount of en-ergy used in residential buildings and issues related to the indoor environmental quality, ASHRAE took a look at how it can contrib-ute most effectively to the improvement of the performance of residential buildings. The ASHRAE and the Residential Construction Market report contains a series of recom-mendations to the Board of Directors.
The ASHRAE 2015 Winter Conference takes place at the Palmer House Hilton, while the ASHRAE co-sponsored AHR Expo is held Jan. 26 28, McCormick Place. Com-plete Conference information and registration can be found at www.ashrae.org/chicago, and Expo information at www.ahrexpo.com.
The Technical Program begins Sunday, Jan. 25, and offers more than 200 Pro-fessional Development Hours, as well as Continuing Education Units, which can be applied toward a Professional Engineering license. The Conference features papers and programs for eight tracks, which address trends in the industry and also are relevant to the design community in the area.

ASHRAE Drives Home Residential Guidance
From Cherry Garcia to Sea Salt Cara-mel, Americans love their ice cream. Nearly 9 percent of cows milk produced in the United States goes toward making ice cream, and America is the number one consumer worldwide. What better way to illustrate the importance of refrigeration technology, than to explore the process of making this countrys favorite frozen treat?
Doug Reindl and Dan Dettmers work-shop, I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Refrigeration Basics of Ice Cream, is part of the Technical Program at the 2015 ASHRAE Winter Conference to be held Jan. 24 28 at the Palmer House Hilton.
The session explores the process of making ice cream, leads attendees through the cooling load calculations and finishes up with a chance to participate in the ice cream making process.
One catch, however. Attendees have to correctly calculate the cooling load before they can taste the final product, which will be made cryogenically. The workshop starts at 8 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 25.
We want to reach a younger audience to interest them in the R in ASHRAErefrigeration, said Reindl on the session. We thought this would be an out-of-the-box way to show them about processes, the science, taste and texture of food, home refrigeration.
His presentation will focus on the meth-ods and cooling loads encountered in the ice cream industry.
Session chair Dan Dettmers notes that while ice cream is one of the simple pleasures of life, it also is one of the most complex frozen products available today.
Unlike ice, which freezes in a crystal-line structure, ice cream is an amorphous solid similar to glass, he explained. Its structure is primarily air held in a complex lattice of sugars and fats.

AHR Expo Management has an-nounced that the HVACR Workforce Development Foundation has become the newest endorsing association for the 2015 show.
Representing a unified undertaking to address the workforce needs facing the HVAC&R industry in the near future, the HVACR Workforce Development Foundation is committed to: raise awareness of the HVAC&R industry and the importance it plays in daily life; create interest in the HVAC&R indus-try as an attractive and profitable career choice; and enhance the quality and quantity of available workforce for the HVAC&R industry.
We are excited about partnering with AHR Expo to make thousands of HVAC&R professionals more aware of the many opportunities available in the HVAC&R industry, said Kari M. Arfstrom, executive director of the Foundation. AHR Expo allows us to reach all of our target audiences in one placefrom the manufacturers and sup-pliers to the people that spec and install HVAC systems.
The HVACR Workforce Develop-ment Foundation also assists students in finding the appropriate schools and in sourcing scholarships through its many sustaining members.
ASHRAE Cosponsors 2015 AHR Expo
According to a post-show survey of several thousand industry professionals who attended the 2014 AHR Expo, 94% said they came to see whats new in the marketplace. An additional 91% said at-tending the Show was an important way to look for new suppliers.
According to Clay Stevens, president of International Exposition Company, which produces and manages the AHR Expo, the more than 40,000 HVACR professionals ex-pected to attend the 2015 event in Chicago, January 26 28, will not be disappointed.
Stevens said that based on a joint ASHRAE and AHR Expo survey of more than 2,000 exhibitors in the 2014 Show, more than two-thirds said that they intro-duced new products at the New York Show. However, early indications are that the num-ber of new product introductions and new solutions may be even higher in Chicago.
He cited the following facts: 85% of exhibitors submitting products
for the 2015 Product Preview said they will be showing new or upgraded products.
There are 112 first-time exhibitors, nearly half from companies outside the U.S. This means new products never before seen in the U.S. will be showcased for the first time.
There will be more than 60 presenta-tions from dozens of exhibitors at the New Product & Technology Theaters. This is up from 54 presentations in 2014.
Several of the more than 100 AHR
Expo and ASHRAE educational sessions will deal with new product and/or technol-ogy solutions.
The 2015 AHR Expo Innovation Awards presentation will showcase the most innovative products available in the HVACR Industry.
The 2015 Show is on track for another record-breaking event, which means more exhibiting companies and more new products.
As the worlds largest HVACR ex-position, there are always thousands of new product introductions and innovative
AHR Expo Focuses on Whats New in Industry
solutions debuting at AHR Expo, Stevens added. However, it appears that the upcom-ing Chicago Show may set a new standard for product introductions.
AHR Expo is endorsed by 34 of the leading HVACR industry associations and is cosponsored by ASHRAE and the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration In-stitute (AHRI). The Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI) is a honorary sponsor.

Not many couples look at a Society Conference as a perfect way to celebrate their wedding anniversary. But for long-time member Nance Lovvorn and his wife, no celebration would be complete without ASHRAE.
Cecile and I have been consumed this summer preparing for and celebrating our 50th anniversary, he said. Cecile came up with the idea that we should not do anything extravagant or make a big deal with our children. Instead we should make a list of 50 Fun Things to do this summer.
So Lovvorn, Fellow/Life Member, and his wife, kicked off their 50th anniversary celebration with a trip to the 2014 Annual Conference in Seattle. The couple resides in Birmingham, Ala., where Lovvorn is a member of the Birmingham Chapter.
Prior to the Annual Conference, the couple spent several days on the San Juan Islands with their ASHRAE friends, Jerry Groff, ASHRAE Fellow, Life Member, member of the Central New York Chapter, and his wife Beth.
The Conference also was special be-cause Lovvorn, a former director-at-large on the Board of Directors was recognized for his longtime service with an Exceptional Service Award.
The Lovvorns were married at 3 p.m. on Aug. 30, 1964, so another fun thing on the list was attendance at a football game be-tween Auburn University and the Arkansas Razorbacks that took place at 3 p.m., Aug. 30. There they were recognized on the field as being loyal fans of the game.
Lovvorn said the couple completed their list on Sept. 1.
CHICAGOIn recognition of the 50th anniversary of the American Society of Plumbing Engineers, ASHRAE presented the group with a framed certificate. The celebration took place at the ASPE Convention and Exposition in Chicago in September. Shown are (left) Tim Wentz, ASHRAE treasurer, and Bill Hughes, immediate past president of the ASPE Board.
Presenters are (left to right) Jim Vallort, Bob Baker and Ron Wilkinson.
ASHRAEs upcoming webcast, titled New Tomorrows for Todays Buildings: Existing Building Commissioning, will broadcast live on April 23, 2015, from 1 4 p.m. EDT.
The webcast is sponsored by the Chapter Technology Transfer Committee.
The presenters will distinguish between new building commissioning, existing building commissioning and retro-com-missioning, said Nathan Hart, chair of the CTTC Webcast Ad Hoc Committee. Viewers will learn how to manage the commissioning process to minimize the impact on building functions and occupants, and how to integrate elements of existing building commissioning into the operation and maintenance staff s daily activities. The focus will be on maximizing energy efficiency and return on investment.

ASHRAE recently awarded its f irst building energy quotient (bEQ) rating in Asia.
The building, KPMG Center located in Makati City in Manila, Philippines, is a mixed-use commercial building with office spaces and foot court/service. It earned an In Operation rating of C, or average. The building has a measured site energy use intensity (EUI) of 59.4 kBtu/square foot per year; and measured source EUI of 186.6 kBtu/square foot per year.
On behalf of the building owner, we are pleased to achieve this milestone in the bEQ program, Ross Montgomery, P.E., BEAP, who submitted the rating, said. This speaks to the interest in improving building and system performance around the globe.
Montgomery, who is chair of the bEQ committee, also notes that the Philippines Green Building Initiative has embraced the bEQ program to be used as credit toward the energy requirements of its green build-ing rating.
First bEQ Rating Awarded in Asia
Other countries in which buildings have earned ratings under the program include the United States, Mexico, Canada and Bermuda.
So far, 13 buildings have earned a rating, according to Montgomery.
The bEQ program, a consistent, comprehensive and accurate method of rat-ing and labeling buildings based on energy use, offers two rating labels: an As Designed label that rates the buildings expected energy use under standardized conditionsindepen-dent of some of the buildings occupancy and usage variablesand an In Operation label that rates the buildings actual metered energy use as influenced by the buildings occupancy, structure and use.
bEQ focuses resources to: Determine the buildings potential energy efficiency with an As Designed evaluation; Improve performance and energy effi-ciency with an In Operation assessment; and Helps the user to make informed decisions about managing the real estate portfolio.

The building information model (BIM) is rapidly becoming the de-facto basis of software applications used to model the built environment and the underlying engineering and constructional systems. The BIM provides a common set of data that enables the confident use of multiple software tools that share a single set of linked building information. This improves confidence in interoperability of engineer-ing tools and this will speed their adop-tion by the whole community of building professionals. 1468-RP, Development of a Reference Building Information Model (BIM) for Thermal Model Compliance Testing, produced reference models and guidelines for developing software to au-tomate thermal model creation from a BIM into a Building Energy Simulation (BES) for energy simulations. The final report describes the methods of the research and presents highlights of the guidelines. Two technical papers on this project have been submitted for future publication in ASHRAE Transactions. 1468-RP, Devel-opment of a Reference Building Informa-tion Model (BIM) for Thermal Model Compliance Testing, was sponsored by TC 1.5, Computer Applications. The principal investigator was Mark Clayton with Texas A&M University.

The use of water as a refrigerant (R718)
in refrigeration applications can show promise as water can have advantages over traditional refrigerants. However, some of the difficulties that arise during manu-facturing low-cost and high-performance compressor impellers to compress this natural refrigerant need to be addressed. 1476-RP, Woven Compressor Enabling Economic and Scalable R718 Chillers, studied the feasibility of winding/weav-ing light-weight, high-strength composite turbo-impellers with integrated motor and bearings on a commercially available winding machine. This could provide a scalable and economical multi-stage counter-rotating axial compressor which uses water as the refrigerant. The final report details the current state of art and introduces the design and various weaving patterns for the wound composite impel-ler along with the manufacturing set up and the fabrication process. Results from a small scale compressor test loop are included as well. A technical paper was submitted for publication in a future edi-tion of the ASHRAE HVAC&R Research Journal. 1476-RP, Woven Compressor Enabling Economic and Scalable R718 Chillers, was sponsored by TC 8.2, Cen-trifugal Machines. The principal investiga-tor was Norbert Mueller with Michigan State University.

ASHRAE completed a research project to measure pressure loss coefficients for 8 converging-concentric, 15 converging-eccentric, 8 diverging-concentric, and 15 diverging-eccentric flat oval transition fittings. Tests were performed in accor-dance with ASHRAE Standard 120-2008, Method of Testing to Determine Flow Resistance of HVAC Ducts and Fittings.
Loss coefficient data and the regression equations will be added to the next version of the ASHRAE Duct Fitting Database. A technical paper on this project has been submitted for future publication in ASHRAE Transactions. 1606-RP, Labora-tory Testing of Flat Oval Transitions to De-termine Loss Coefficient, was sponsored by TC 5.2, Duct Design. The principal investigator was Yuanhui Zhang with the University of Illinois.
1478
Despite the importance of building airtightness and its impact on IAQ, mois-ture, comfort, and energy use, there is little actual airtightness performance data available for mid-and high-rise buildings in the literature. 1478-RP, Measuring Air-Tightness of Mid- and High-Rise Non-Res-idential Buildings, measured airtightness of 16 non-residential buildings between 4 and 14 stories tall in zones 2-7 of the IECC Climate Zone Map. A subset of these buildings meets the LEED requirements. Researchers created an airtightness testing protocol based on ASTM E779 and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Protocol, specifically for mid-rise commercial build-ings, that can be used for other studies. The final report compares and details the results, examines and characterizes various leakages. Data is presented for inclusion in the ASHRAE Handbook. A technical paper on this project was published in Buildings XII Conference Proceedings (D-BldConf13-54) and is now available. 1478-RP, Measuring Air-Tightness of Mid- and High-Rise Non-Residential Buildings, was sponsored by TC 4.3 Ventilation Re-quirements and Infiltration. The principal investigator was Wagdy Anis with Wiss, Janney, Elstner, Associates Inc.

Region XII Creates New WebsiteASHRAE Region XII has launched
a new website, enabling the public to learn more about the region, ASHRAE membership, relevant current events in the HVAC&R industry and to view chapter photos and newsletters. The site can be viewed at http://region12.ashraeregions.org/.
It is awesome! agreed a few com-menters who were given a preliminary look.
One of the most unique features of the site is that it is trilingual (English, Spanish and Portuguese) to reflect the languages spoken at the chapters and sections of Region XII. Also, the page has links to chapter webpages, ASHRAE resources and membership information. Gerardo Alphonso, a member of the Colombia Chapter and regional webmaster, oversaw the effort, using members and students to assist in format, links, translations and photos.
This year I wanted to recruit the right person to take on the charge of updating and jazzing up a webpage that was long overdue, said Jennifer Isenbeck, Region XII director and regional chair. It is more than I ever expected!
This new site incorporates state-of-the-art software technology, such as responsive web design, which provides an optimal viewing experience through easy read-ing without resizing or scrolling across a range of devices (mobile phones, tablets, desktop computer monitors, etc); and retina displays, which adapts the pixels per inch
(PPI) according to the resolution of the device. The page also has a blog; a calendar displaying the events of the chapters in the region; the newsletter of the chapters; and links to social media.
The website is updated by ongoing regional and Society newsfeeds, chapter events and newsletters. It was part of ASHRAE Region XIIs goal to provide more information to region and Society members alike as well as attract interest from similar
HVAC&R alliance organizations. Since the webpage is trilingual, the region hopes to broaden interest internationally, meeting Societys new Strategic Plan.
During the first three weeks since the launch, the site has had almost 1,100 ses-sions, 650 different visitors from some 40 countries and more than 3,900 page views. Forty-five percent of the visits were in English, 47 percent in Spanish and eight percent in Portuguese.
What does Michigan have in common with Connecticut and Texas? White clam pizza? Longhorn cattle?
If youre in the building energy assess-ment business, you may know that Michi-gan has joined Connecticut and Texas as states with property assessed clean energy (PACE) programs that recognize ASHRAEs Building Energy Assessment Professional (BEAP) certification as an acceptable quali-fication for Energy Auditors of commercial buildings.
These states join a growing list of local, state and federal bodies (visit www.ashrae.org/government-recognition) that require, recognize or prefer ASHRAE certifications for various projects and RFPs.
According to Todd Parker, manager of contractor services for Michigan Saves, We are happy to include the ASHRAE certifica-tion as an acceptable credential. Since we require the audits be done to the ASHRAE Level 2 or Level 3 standard, it is only logical that we accept this certification.
Michigan Saves (http://michigansaves.org) manages contractor registration for Lean & Green Michigans PACE program (www.leanandgreenmi.com).
For more information on the BEAP cer t i f icat ion program, vis i t www.ashrae.org/BEAP or call Erin Dupree, communications coordinator - certification at 678-539-1131.
