ASHRAE and Existing BuildingsASHRAE and Existing Buildings
Two recent Presidential themes have highlighted existing buildings◦ Operation and maintenance
(William Harrison, ‘08-’09)◦ Energy conservation in
existing buildings(Gordon Holness, ’09-’10)
Standards and guidelines for existing building energy conservation and performance verification
Certification of energy assessors
Building energy labeling
STANDARDS FOR EXISTING STANDARDS FOR EXISTING BUILDINGSBUILDINGS
Standard 100, Energy Conservation in Existing Buildings, provides a means of classifying the energy efficiency of existing buildings or building complexes
ASHRAE Guideline 14, Measurement of Energy and Demand Savings, provides guidelines for reliably measuring the energy and demand savings due to building energy management projects
Building Energy LabelsBuilding Energy Labels
• Information on the potential and measured energy use of buildings
• Feedback to building owners and operators on how their building is performing
• Insight into the value and potential of investments for long-term energy costs
• Opportunity to differentiate buildings in a technically sound and consistent manner
Building Energy Assessment Building Energy Assessment ProfessionalProfessional
Certify ability to audit and analyze residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, including:◦ determining project scope◦ collecting data◦ analyzing building performance◦ interpreting results◦ evaluating alternatives◦ recommending energy
conservation measures◦ assisting with ECM
implementation~75 certified in 6 months
since start of program in Feb. 2011
HEADQUARTERS HEADQUARTERS RENEWALRENEWAL
Demonstrate commitment to sustainability
Deliver a healthy and productive workplace
Provide a learning center
Create a living lab
In 2005, ASHRAE formed a plan to renew its headquarters building in Atlanta. The project was completed in June 2008:
ASHRAE succeeded in creating a healthy, productive and sustainable building,
ensuring a sustainability showcase for years to come.– 34,000 ft2
– Total cost of $7.6 million

ASHRAE Research Strategic ASHRAE Research Strategic PlanPlan
Eleven strategic goals chosen to address technical challenges that limit our ability to maximize building performance, energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality while minimizing our impact on the environment.
Research Strategic Plan GoalsResearch Strategic Plan Goals
Maximize the actual operational energy performance of buildings and facilities
Support the development of ASHRAE energy standards and reduce effort required to demonstrate compliance
Building Information Modeling (BIM) of energy efficient, high-performing buildings
Support development of tools, procedures and methods suitable for designing low energy buildings
Significantly increase the understanding of energy efficiency, environmental quality and the design of buildings in engineering and architectural education
