Energy conservation is important to everyone. It reduces the consumption of natural resources, reduces pollution in the environment, and saves building owners and homeowners money.
As a result, energy conservation standards and codes were developed to ensure energy conservation is a priority for new and existing buildings.
The most widely used of these standards is ASHRAE 90.1, which outlines the minimum requirements for energy-efficient designs for buildings.
For HVAC systems, ASHRAE 90.1 allows for multiple compliance paths.
Broadly, these paths include the "simplified approach" or "mandatory approach."
The simplified approach provides a list of required compliance items.
The mandatory approach compliance may be accomplished by selecting equipment meeting minimum efficiencies in the tables and other criteria, or the HVAC engineer may complete an "energy cost budget" calculation to prove compliance.
The course provides an overview of the ASHRAE Standard 90.1, 2019, and covers the nineteen (19) prerequisites for HVAC system design.
In addition, the course provides a brief explanation of the technologies applicable to each option and whole-building compliance options.
The course also covers key mandatory and prescriptive requirements applicable to each system and whole-building compliance options.
