Energy & Atmosphere Standards Flashcards
ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007
Establishes minimum criteria for the design of energy-efficient buildings. The standard provides guidance for the following categories: building envelope, HVAC systems, service water heating, power, lighting, and other equipment.
New Construction energy performance (EAp2, EAc1)
EPA ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager
A program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy (DOE) that offers energy management strategies, benchmarking tools, product guidelines and a database of ENERGY STAR qualified products and buildings
Existing Building energy performance (EAp2, EAc1)
International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol Volume III (IPMVP)
Provides a concise description of best practice techniques for verifying the energy performance of new construction projects.
Energy Performance (NC – EAc5)
ASHRAE Level I, Walk-Through Analysis
Evaluates a building’s energy performance and energy consumption by analyzing building energy bills and conducting a brief visual survey.
EB: O&M EAp1
ASHRAE Level II Audit
Detailed examination that includes a breakdown of energy distribution within the building and identifies potential capital-intensive opportunities. This is a more detailed audit than a Level I, Walk-Through Analysis
EB: O&M EAc2.1
EPA Clean Air Act, Title VI, Section 608
Established regulations on the use and recycling of ozone depleting compounds.
Refrigerant Management
