The user's manual for American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers Inc. (ASHRAE)/Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) 90.1-2007 - Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, is now available.
This manual went through a revision process to incorporate the various addenda approved since the 2004 edition, according to Keith Emerson, who oversaw review of the manual for the ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1 committee.
Since the 2004 edition was published, 44 addenda have been approved and are now incorporated into the manual.
Updates have been made to reflect and illustrate the changes in every portion of the ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1 standard. Appendix G changes have also been made, Emerson said.
"The Appendix G changes will be particularly useful to people involved with projects that are trying to achieve a certain amount of savings over and above the minimum requirements of the standard," he said.
The ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-2007 user's manual provides instruction, calculation examples and compliance forms for the design of commercial and high-rise residential buildings.
It includes sections on administration and enforcement; building envelope; heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems; service water heating; power; lighting; the energy cost budget method and the building performance rating method.
