In late August, the Mayor forwarded the 2009 Seattle Energy Code ordinance to the Seattle City Council. This afternoon, the Seattle City Council (SCC) Committee on the Built Environment began consideration of the 2009 Seattle Energy Code ordinance. However, the Committee on the Built Environment was not able to complete their review, as the meeting was cut short.
Consequently, the Committee on the Built Environment will continue their discussion of the 2009 Seattle Energy Code at a future meeting later this fall. However, no date has been set yet. For additional information on the full Seattle City Council and for the Committee on the Built Environment, the meeting calendar can be viewed at http://www.seattle.gov/council/calendar/default.htm# and agendas can be found at http://www.seattle.gov/council/com_assign.htm .
In terms of implementation dates:
- For nonresidential spaces, as a result of today’s continuation, the effective date of the 2009 Seattle Energy Code is unknown.
- For residential spaces, the 2009 Washington State Energy Code (WSEC) requirements would take effect on the date specified by the Washington State Building Code Council (WSBCC). Since the 2009 WSEC requirements for residential spaces were finalized on 20 November 2009 (more than ten months ago at this point), there would not be any additional grace period. It is expected that the WSBCC would make a decision on the effective date at their meeting on 15 October 2010.

ASHRAE Application for New Faces (PDF)
Did you know ASHRAE is the lead society for 2011 National Engineers Week?
Help open doors for one of your colleagues by nominating him or her for the 2011 New Faces of Engineering for ASHRAE. The recognition program, started by ASHRAE in 2003, is part of National Engineers Week, sponsored by the National Engineers Week Foundation, a coalition of engineering societies, major corporations and government agencies. Member societies nominate colleagues 30 years old and younger who have shown outstanding abilities and leadership. Engineers Week promotes New Faces to provide incentive to those in college and inspire even younger students to consider engineering careers. And ASHRAE is the lead society for 2011 National Engineers Week, so it is a really special year to be the ASHRAE New Face.
What a great way to recognize some of our young chapter leaders!
The top New Face from each society will be featured in a full page ad in USA Today during Engineers Week, February 20-26, 2011. Each photo will be captioned with the engineer's name, name of the engineering society providing the nominee, employer and a brief statement of that individual's accomplishments as they relate to the public welfare.
Engineers 30 years of age or younger as of December 31, 2010, are the focus of the recognition program.
Nominees must have a degree in engineering from a recognized U.S. college or university, or from an equivalent international educational institution. Degrees in engineering technology, science, computer science, and similar disciplines do not qualify, though a degree in computer engineering is acceptable.
Complete nominations including a photo must be submitted to ASHRAE by Monday, October 18, 2010. The nominations should try to tie at least one achievement to something the non-engineering community can appreciate.
Engineers Week is celebrated throughout the year, though the specific dates for Engineers Week 2010 are February 20-26, 2011. For more information on Engineers Week, visit: eweek.org.

2009 Seattle Energy Code Update
The latest from John Hogan:
The 2009 Seattle Energy Code ordinance will be considered by the Seattle City Council (SCC) Committee on the Built Environment (COBE) at their meeting on Wednesday, 29 September 2010.
The 2009 Seattle Energy Code ordinance will be considered by the Seattle City Council (SCC) Committee on the Built Environment (COBE) at their meeting on Wednesday, 29 September 2010.
- The Committee on the Built Environment meeting starts at 2:00 pm, however, it is estimated that discussion of the Energy Code ordinance would take place at approximately 3:00 pm. The meeting will take place in the SCC Council Chambers, Second Floor, 600 Fourth Avenue, Seattle.
- Copies of the proposed ordinance and a summary of the changes can be downloaded from the “2009 Seattle Energy Code Update” page of the Seattle Energy Code website at: http://www.seattle.gov/DPD/Codes/Energy_Code/Overview/2009_ecupdate.asp
Following an SCC committee recommendation, the full Seattle City Council must then take action at one of their subsequent meetings. Then, after a vote by the full Seattle City Council, the Mayor has ten days to sign an ordinance.
As noted in my last e-mail:
- For nonresidential spaces, the intent is to have a grace period for the 2009 Seattle Energy Code that would end so as to coincide with the end of the grace period for other Seattle code updates. The last date on which DPD will be accepting applications using the 2006 codes will be 22 November 2010.
- For residential spaces, the 2009 Washington State Energy Code (WSEC) requirements would take effect on the date specified by the Washington State Building Code Council (WSBCC). Since the 2009 WSEC requirements for residential spaces were finalized on 20 November 2009 (ten months ago at this point), there would not be any additional grace period. It is expected that the WSBCC would make a decision on the effective date at their meeting on 15 October 2010.
I’ll send out another e-mail as additional information becomes available.

ASHRAE 2011 Winter Conference and AHR Expo
ASHRAE holds all the sustainability cards- Winter Conference to be held in
La$ Vega$
ATLANTA—Las Vegas, Nevada continues to build upon its reputation as a vibrant showcase for the extraordinary by offering the grandest hotels, the biggest stars in entertainment and, of course, the brightest lights. It’s no wonder that the world’s biggest HVAC Expo and the largest membership-based HVAC&R engineering society have chosen the city as the site of the ASHRAE 2011 Winter Conference and AHR Expo.
The extravagant setting of Las Vegas serves as a unique contrast to ASHRAE’s Winter Conference theme of A Safe Bet: Zero-Energy Design. It is sure to highlight the importance of finding the balance in design. The 2011 Winter Conference takes place January 29-February 2 at the Las Vegas Hilton. The International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Expo®, held in conjunction with the Winter Conference, will run January 31-February 2. The Expo is held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, a short distance from the Hilton, the Conference headquarters hotel.
In keeping with ASHRAE’s goal of continuing education the Conference offers over 200 Professional Development Credits, as well as Continuing Education Units, which can be applied toward a Professional Engineering license.
The technical program features more than 90 programs and 300 speakers addressing the efficient use of energy in new and existing buildings, refrigeration updates, applications including data centers, laboratories, healthcare facilities, the real cost of zero-energy design and other topics related to design, standards, codes and professional skills. Nearly all of the technical program sessions will be approved for NY PDHs and by USGBC for GBCI CE hours for LEED professionals. The Las Vegas Virtual Conference, included with paid attendees’ registrations, will be available to non-attendees.
Six Professional Development Seminars and 14 Short Courses are offered to help industry professionals stay up-to-date on industry trends. ALI offers a new course on building energy modeling that focuses on HVAC&R systems and updates to courses covering Standards 62.1 and 90.1 to reflect changes in the 2010 versions of these standards from previous versions.
Additionally, ASHRAE continues to listen to the market and launches a sixth certification program in conjunction with the 2011 Winter Conference. This new program targets Energy Assessors/Energy Auditors and is appropriate for those individuals who perform energy assessments or audits for commercial, industrial or residential buildings. More information can be found at www.ashrae.org/certification.
This winter’s technical tours spotlight how technology developed by ASHRAE members is practically applied to buildings and include the central plant at Planet Hollywood and MGM Center and Springs Preserve.
When members are not attending courses at the Conference, observing the technological advancements featured at the AHR Expo or touring the local sustainable buildings there are numerous general tours such as Hoover Dam, Springs Preserve, the Venetian Grand Canal Shoppes, the Bodies and Titanic exhibits and the Las Vegas Strip.
Those who take part in the early-bird registration before December 31 have the opportunity to save up to $195. Complete information is available at www.ashrae.org/lasvegas.
ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of some 50,000 persons. ASHRAE fulfills its mission of advancing heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education.

Seattle Energy Code Update - September 2010
The following is excerpted from an email sent out on September 07, 2010 by John Hogan with the Seattle Department of Planning & Development:
In late August, the Mayor forwarded the 2009 Seattle Energy Code ordinance package to the Seattle City Council:
- The summary included in the package is viewable at: DPD_2009_Seattle_Energy_Code_SUMMARY_.pdf.
- Seattle City Council review is likely to take place in late September. I will send out another e-mail when a specific date has been decided. (It is expected that the ordinance will be referred to the Committee on the Built Environment, as this is the committee that considered the ordinances for the other construction codes.
In terms of the text for the 2009 Seattle Energy Code, we had a detailed review from the Law Department. DPD did make a number of revisions based on the Law Department’s recommendations. I would generally characterize them as minor, most were wording changes to clarify the intent. However, I did want to highlight one change (but maybe only a process and timing change, as opposed to a substantive change):
- During the 6-month public review, we proposed and received public support to add a new Chapter 16 calling for a minimum amount of on-site renewable energy production, provided that we included two alternates (an option to use higher heating and cooling equipment efficiency, or another option to purchase renewable energy certificates in lieu of installing the renewable energy system on site). The Law Department raised some concerns about the way the alternates would work. To enable us to move forward, the Law Department assisted us in crafting language that says that DPD will develop a Director’s Rule containing alternate compliance options. The ordinance language says that the renewable energy provisions will not take effect until the Director’s Rule is published with these alternate compliance options. My hope would be that we could take the alternate compliance options developed during public review and then fold these into a Director’s Rule soon after the ordinance is adopted.
As a heads-up regarding implementation of the 2009 Seattle Energy Code:
- For nonresidential spaces, the intent is to have a grace period for the 2009 Seattle Energy Code that would end so as to coincide with the end of the grace period for other Seattle code updates. The last date on which DPD will be accepting applications using the 2006 codes will be 22 November 2010.
- For residential spaces, the 2009 Washington State Energy Code (WSEC) requirements would take effect on the date specified by the Washington State Building Code Council (WSBCC). Since the 2009 WSEC requirements for residential spaces were finalized on 20 November 2009 (approaching ten months ago at this point), there would not be any additional grace period.
