Energy Efficiency
What is ASHRAE Standard 90.1?
ASHRAE Standard 90.1 defines how engineers should design buildings to achieve energy efficiency goals
What does net zero carbon mean in buildings?
ASHRAE Standard 90.1 is the backbone of commercial building energy modeling and code compliance efforts so it is essential to consider in relation to net zero carbon buildings
Case study: District heating supply from a combined heat and power plant
Development and operation of the combined heat and power district heating system in Jamestown, N.Y., provides energy efficiency, environmental and economic development benefits to customers
Energy storage: A component of energy conservation
Energy storage must be embraced as part of energy policy, and captured in standards such as ASHRAE 90.1 to maximize the environmental and resiliency benefits of increased renewable energy production
Video: Commissioning for Reliability and Resiliency – Lessons Learned
The ability of critical systems to anticipate, resist, respond, adapt, and recover from a failure or disturbance – from natural disasters to intentional attacks to human error – can have huge consequences, and owners of critical facilities are adding formal resiliency plans to their risk management.
Five benefits of an energy assessment
An energy assessment is the first step toward improving the overall health and optimizing the energy performance of your facility.
Integrating a BAS into design
Building systems should be high-performing, integrated and accessible — and the building automation system is the key to achieving these goals
