Many said ASHRAE 90.1 is the most important energy efficiency standard because it’s the basis for others, and is what is referenced in the state they work in when building codes are adopted. Nearly two-thirds (65 percent) selected ASHRAE 90.1 as having the most impact on their decision-making process at work. Respondents said proficiency in changes is relevant or critical to their job (86 percent) and in helping provide strategic guidance to customers to help them achieve their goals. HVAC professionals are engaged and paying attention to changes in energy efficiency standards. When asked about updates announced last year, 62 percent agreed the change in ASHRAE’s 90.1-2016 that will have the most impact is the new requirement for replacement HVAC equipment to comply with minimum energy efficiency requirements outlined for new equipment in the 90.1-2013 standard.Īdditional findings offer valuable insight on how ASHRAE 90.1 influences HVAC professionals in their day-to-day role as advisers to building owners and facilities managers.ĪSHRAE 90.1 Considered Most-influential Commercial Standard We want our customers and end users to feel confident their HVAC equipment will achieve and exceed these thresholds.” “At Daikin, our premier products in several categories align with important energy standards like ASHRAE 90.1. “Survey results show that meeting efficiency standards is becoming a much more important component to the value equation,” said Susan Kaufman, Vice President, Strategic Marketing, Daikin Applied. Respondents provided input on the expected impact ASHRAE 90.1-2016 will have on the industry in the years to come. Of 183 respondents, 88 percent are HVAC-industry contractors and engineers. Today, Daikin Applied shared findings from the online survey of AHR Expo attendees. There will also be an in-person IESVE 90.1-2016 Compliance Pre Conference Workshop at the 2021 ASHRAE Building Performance Analysis Conference on November 9th, 2021 in Denver, Colorado.A recent survey of commercial HVAC industry professionals indicates that most (92 percent) base purchasing decisions on whether equipment complies with ASHRAE 90.1, an industry standard that heavily influences commercial building energy codes in the United States. The 90.1-2016 Navigator can also be used for LEED v4.1 and other regional energy codes such as IECC-2018 compliance.įor a complete video tutorial of the compliance modeling process in IESVE with the example model and supporting documents, please visit the IESVE for ASHRAE 90.1-2016 Compliance Upskill with IES Video. The IESVE ASHRAE 90.1 Navigator can also generate other output reports after running the proposed and baseline simulations.

The PCIt is a function of modeled energy costs and Building Performance Factors (BPFs), and this value is auto-calculated and the compliance report is auto-generated in PDF format.

#ASHRAE 90.1 2016 CODE#
Thus, keeping the baseline fixed while improving the target Performance Cost Index (PCIt) for future standards is the intention for future code compliance. Please note that the baseline is nearly identical to the ASHRAE 90.1-2004 Baseline model this is also auto-generated from the IESVE ASHRAE 90.1 Navigator. The PCI is the quotient of the proposed design energy cost and baseline building energy cost with the goal to have the PCI as close to zero as possible for energy efficient and low carbon building design. This is accomplished is via the Performance Cost Index (PCI) metric. One significant feature that has been implemented in the ASHRAE 90.1-2016 Standard is that the Performance Rating Method (PRM) can now be used for compliance.
#ASHRAE 90.1 2016 SOFTWARE#
IESVE has a history of supporting ASHRAE 90.1 compliance model requirements within the software package via the IESVE ASHRAE 90.1 Navigator for workflow efficiency by automating the generation of the ASHRAE baseline model and automating the comparison as defined in the 90.1 Standard. At minimum, one can also quickly obtain relevant and accurate data from a 3D analytical model for the proposed building design. Using the IESVE ASHRAE 90.1 Navigator, one can now quickly implement a compliance simulation for that state or local jurisdiction. According to the US Building Energy Codes Program at the time of writing this article, there are over 15 states and many other AHJs whose energy code requires compliance with the ASHRAE 90.1-2016 Standard for non-residential buildings.
