[TRNSYS-users] Call for Members - SPC 209 Energy Simulation Aided Design for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings



Last May, as part of a long thread of discussions on the BLDG-SIM mailing list (under the subject "Energy Model Cost") I brought up the idea that ASHRAE should create a new standard related to building energy simulation. A lot has happened since then, after a few conference calls, some presentations to various ASHRAE committees, and many revisions of the title purpose and scope, it looks like the new ASHRAE Standard 209 is going to be written. The approved title purpose and scope is:

TITLE: Energy Simulation Aided Design for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings

PURPOSE: Define minimum requirements for providing energy design assistance using building energy simulation and analysis.

SCOPE: This standard applies to new buildings or major renovations of, or additions to, existing buildings utilizing energy simulation during the design process. This standard does not apply to single-family houses, multi-family structures of three stories or fewer above grade, manufactured houses (mobile homes) and modular homes.

At this point, the new committee is looking for members. Attached is the call for members. If you are interested in joining, please complete the form "Application for Individual Project Committee Membership" (and related forms) found on:

If you can think of anyone else that might be interested, feel free to forward this email to them.

My apologies for cross-posting to so many simulation oriented mailing list.

Thanks,

Jason
