ASHRAE Shaping Tomorrows Built
Environment Today
Erich Binder - Director At Large

ASHRAE is the Answer
• People spend about 90 % of their lives indoors.
• Buildings are the places where we learn the most
important lessons in life, where we encounter the
personalities that inspire us, where the best of our ideas
are born.
• Buildings are the places where we spend time with the
people we love.
• 40% of all Energy Consumed in North America is from
Buildings.
• How can we reduce our energy consumption and still
Provide great Indoor Air Quality?
What Is ASHRAE
• Overview
• Standards
• Research
• Publications
• Education/Certification

ASHRAE Standards
• Developing standards since 1922
• Some 130 active standard or guideline
projects
• Standards are reviewed and republished to
ensure they are up-to-date, e.g., existing
code-intended standards are on a three year
review cycle
• www.ashrae.org/standards
Standards Development
• One of 6 standards development
organizations accredited by the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI)
• Consensus process ensures standards are
developed independent of special interests
• Volunteer committees are balanced group of
technical experts, professionals, government
officials and business representatives.
Most Well-Recognized
ASHRAE Standards
• 15, Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems
• 34, Designation & Safety Classification of Refrigerants
• Standard 188, Legionellosis: Risk Management for
Building Water Systems
• 55.1 Thermal Comfort
• 62 Indoor Air Quality for Buildings / Residential

Refrigerant Safety
Standard 15
• Establishes rules for
safe application in
equipment and systems
when using the
refrigerant classification
system
Refrigerant Safety
Standard 34
• Nomenclature of
refrigerants and assigns
safety classifications
based on toxicity and
flammability data
Legionella
Standard 188• In Canada, the average number
of reported cases of Legionnaires’
disease is generally less than 100
per year. However the actual
number of cases is thought to be
much higher, as many people
with pneumonia may not be
tested for infection with
Legionella.
•

ASHRAE
Thermal Comfort
Standard 55
• Sets the standard for
what are considered
“comfortable” indoor
conditions for 80% or
more of a building’s
occupants
• Settles the “too hot/too
cold” debate at offices
Ventilation and IAQ
Standard 62.1
• Specifies minimum
ventilation rates & other
measures intended to
provide indoor air quality
• Minimizes adverse health
effects
• Applies to all indoor or
enclosed spaces
Energy Efficiency

• Sets design
requirements for the
efficient use of energy
in buildings
• Most Provinces have
adopted some version
of 90.1 as their energy
code
Green Building

ASHRAE Energy Auditing
• Completing an energy audit of a
facility provides an organization
with customized energy
conservation measures designed
to ensure significant energy
savings as well as CO2 emissions
reductions.
Energy audits are a powerful
tool for uncovering operational
and equipment improvements
that will save energy, reduce
energy costs, and lead to higher
performance. Energy audits can
be done as a stand-alone effort
but may be conducted as part of
a larger analysis across a group
of facilities, or across an owner’s
entire portfolio.
ASHRAE Building Energy
Quotient (bEQ) Rating System
• Managing energy efficiency is an integral part of a
building’s operational and financial performance.
• Determine your building's potential energy efficiency
with an As Designed evaluation.
• Improve performance and energy efficiency with an
In Operation assessment.
