2009 Seattle Energy Code - draft Director's Rule

Attached (actually click on the image below to go to a pdf copy) is a DRAFT of Director's Rule 11-2011, Alternate Means of Compliance to Energy Code Requirements for On-Site Renewable Energy Systems (DR2011-11, 2011-04-20 draft.docx).

  • Please provide any comments to me by 28 April 2011.

Background for Directors Rule 11-2011

  • Chapter 16, On-Site Renewable Energy Systems, of the 2009 Seattle Energy Code was adopted with a condition for implementation. Section 1601 requires that Chapter 16 is to take effect when a Directors Rule is published that provides alternate means of compliance. Section 1631 then contains more specific guidance. (The text from Section 1631 is included at the beginning of the draft Directors Rule.)

  • The draft rule provides two alternate means of compliance.

  • Note that the two alternate means of compliance contained in the attached draft Directors Rule were discussed during the public review last year. Further, CCAB previously endorsed these two alternates as part of the overall 2009 Seattle Energy Code package.
Thanks,
John

President's Message - April 2011

April is Employer Appreciation Month

From program planning to IRS tax filings, Puget Sound Chapter is operated completely by volunteers without paid administrators or bookkeepers. Representatives on the Board of Governors commit to seven years of volunteer service and our dedicated committee chairs often hold positions for multiple years. Much of the work that keeps Puget Sound Chapter running smoothly takes place during normal business hours, accompanied by numerous additional hours outside of the business day.

Puget Sound Chapter would not be where it is today without the tremendous support from employers in the region. This month, the Chapter says “thank you” to the employers of our Board of Governors and Committee Chairs. You have contributed to the Chapter’s success by generously supporting involvement of your employees in “grassroots” local ASHRAE activities. The following companies have supported involvement of their employees on the Board of Governors and/or as committee chairs in 2010-2011:

Affiliated Engineers, Inc.
Air Commodities
CDi Engineers
Garrison Engineering
Hargis Engineers
Johnson Barrow, Inc.
McKinstry
Notkin Mechanical Engineers
Proctor Sales, Inc.
Puget Sound Energy
SSA Acoustics
Victaulic
Wood Harbinger, Inc.

ASHRAE is an invaluable resource to those engaged in the field of HVAC&R. In addition to handbooks, standards and numerous reference and training materials, the local chapter provides abundant opportunities for professional networking and training.

Employers, please encourage your ASHRAE members to be actively involved in local chapter activities. Better yet, encourage their involvement on chapter committees or the Board of Governors. You will reap the rewards of expanded networking and leadership development of your employees.

David Landers, P.E.
Chapter President 2010-2011
