#ASHRAE 90.1 2016 DOE WEBINAR CODE#

Elevator efficiency, introducing requirements for identifying usage category and efficiency class.

DOAS requirements, adding efficiency and rating requirements for dedicated outside air systems.

Chilled water plant metering, requiring large electric driven chilled water plants to be monitored for electric energy use and efficiency.

Additional controls for lighting in parking areas.

Requirements for dwelling units to set limits on light source efficacy.

New exterior and interior lighting power densities based on LED technology.

Modified control requirements to simplify advanced lighting control applications.

New requirements based on the addition of climate zone 0.

Improved clarity of exterior walls definitions, building orientation, and clarity around the effective R-value of air spaces.

More stringent prescriptive requirements for metal building roofs and walls, fenestration, and opaque doors.

Mandatory requirements for envelope verification, supporting reduced air infiltration, and increased requirements for air leakage to overhead coiling doors.

The most significant technical changes are summarized by building system:

An alternating color scheme has been applied to distinguish table rows.

Exceptions are separated, indented and in a smaller font size.Requirements are now arranged in a one-column format.

The Standard is now based on a new format for easier reading and use. A new annex is appended and contains extracts from various reference standards for the convenience of users, including tables and figures extracted from Standard 169-2013.More than 400 counties (out of 3,000 across the U.S.) were reassigned and remapped based on updated weather data.Two new weather zones are added (climate zone 0 A and B), along with corresponding prescriptive requirements.Standard 90.1-2016 references the new ASHRAE Standard 169, Climate Data for Building Design Standards, providing an improved source for climatic data-now and into the future. Appendix G baseline is now fixed at a specific level of performance, which is not expected to change with subsequent editions of the Standard, and will allow a building of any era to be rated using a single method.A new metric, the Performance Cost Index (PCI), accommodates various climate zones and prominent commercial buildings types.

It now serves as an alternative to the traditional performance path (Chapter 11: Energy Cost Budget), and creates a singular path to demonstrate both minimum code compliance and above-code performance.

(Previously it was used only to rate вЂњbeyond codeвЂќ performance of buildings.)

Appendix G now can be used as a pathВ for compliance.

The 2016 edition contains a new compliance path, known as the Performance Rating Method, which is included in Appendix G.

New Compliance Option: Performance Rating Method A range of technical changes are also included, affecting building envelope, mechanical and lighting systems. The new edition includes a new compliance path and a significant change in formatting, intended to improve its overall flexibility and use. Standard 90.1-2016 contains 121 new addenda (since publication of the previous 2013 standard). The 2016 edition contains several important changes to reduce energy consumption that will be of interest to the commercial building design and construction community. An updated edition is published every three years and provides the basis for energy codes adopted by U.S. ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1, known as the Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, is a model standard, developed jointly by ASHRAE and the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES). The recent publication of Standard 90.1-2016 marks the latest edition of the Standard, setting the stage for future building energy efficiency requirements in commercial buildings.
