ASHRAE Seeks Proposals on User’s Manual for Green Buildings
ATLANTA—There are many ways to define a green building. Energy-saving measures, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, materials and building orientations all play a role, but it is the way that all of these come together that makes a building truly high performing.
Requirements to achieve green buildings will soon be available from ASHRAE, the U.S. Green Building Council and the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America in the form of a standard. Standard 189.1P, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, will define the minimum requirements for high-performance green buildings.
And to make following those requirements easier, a user’s manual also is being developed. ASHRAE is currently accepting research proposals for development of a user’s manual for Standard 189.1P. Proposals are due Nov. 9. For more information, visit www.ashrae.org/technology/page/548.
“The manual will provide users with a better understanding of how to apply the standard, as well as serve as a guide for self-education and training about the requirements and appropriate strategies to meet them,” Kent Peterson, chair of the Standard 189 committee, said. “It will include worksheets and examples that can be used to determine compliance.”
As part of its energy efficiency efforts, ASHRAE also is accepting proposals for a User’s Manual for Standard 90.1-2010, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings. The 2010 standard, which will be published next year, is being developed with the goal of achieving a 30 percent energy cost savings improvement compared to the 2004 standard.
More information on both projects can be found at www.ashrae.org/technology/page/548.

November 11 Lunch Meeting Announcement
Green building in education provides numerous benefits: operational cost savings, reduced energy use, greater health and well-being and improved student performance.
There are many resources available to the mechanical designer however few resources focus exclusively on HVAC systems and how to optimize space heating and cooling requirements while providing a superior indoor environment.
This program examines the most common guidelines and best practices in the industry for the successful implementation of high performance HVAC systems in education with particular emphasis on K-12 Applications.
Mr. Pieper has over 15 years of Sales and Product Management experience in designing high performance HVAC systems and equipment for commercial and industrial applications. He holds a degree in Pure and Applied Science from Marianopolis College, a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the Department of Building, Civil and Environmental Engineering and a certificate in Software Development from Concordia University in Montreal.
Mr. Pieper is a member of the Quebec Order of Professional Engineers as well as the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). He currently represents Venmar CES Inc. with the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) on the Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Ventilation Equipment Section.
Mr. Pieper is the Chair of ASHRAE TC 8.12 Desiccant Dehumidification Equipment and Components and is an active member of ASHRAE TC 5.5 Air-to-Air Energy Recovery.

DAYLIGHTING DESIGN
A seminar for developers, architects, and engineers,
by
Christopher Meek, AIA Tom Marseille, P.E.
Daylighting Lab Director Principal
The Integrated Design Lab Stantec Engineers, Inc.
October 9, 2009
10:00 to 3:00, includes lunch
The Bertha Landes Room
Seattle City Hall, 600 5th Avenue, Seattle
Use of natural light for interior illumination has been integral to architecture since before the time of the Romans, but the field continues to evolve. Daylighting design challenges and stimulates us as it brings together the worlds of aesthetics, function, and energy efficiency, at the interface between nature and man-made environments.
This seminar examines daylighting from multiple angles, presenting basic design principles illustrated by examples from history and some of the most recent construction. Because daylighting is intrinsically interdisciplinary, information about new technologies and analytical tools are pulled from several branches of design. Tom Marseille will address the interface between daylighting and overall energy consumption for heating, cooling and lighting. Topics will include actuated interior and exterior shades, and daylighting controls.
Registration:

The cost of the seminar is $30 including lunch.

Energy Efficiency Webinar
This webinar will provide background on the federal American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES) of 2009, the Waxman-Markey comprehensive energy bill, known as "ACES". ACES includes a cap-and-trade global warming reduction plan designed to reduce economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions 17 percent by 2020. Other provisions include energy efficiency incentives, new renewable energy requirements for utilities, and grants for green jobs.
The webinar is targeted to the energy efficiency business community. You can register and participate for free by following this link;
