Revised ASHRAE Standard Compares Building Energy Performance

摘要

The how-to of measuring a building's energy use can get convoluted. Are the measurements of a building's area taken from the exterior dimensions or to the centerline of the wall? Are storage spaces included or not? The newly revised ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 105-2014, Standard Methods of Determining, Expressing, and Comparing Building Energy Performance and Greenhouse Gas Emissions, supports commonality in reporting building energy performance to provide consistent methods of measuring, expressing, and comparing.
