ASHRAE 90.1-2010 compliance

摘要

Ashrae 90.1-2010 compliance will once again permit the use of the energy cost budget method to demonstrate that the proposed building's energy cost will be the same or less than that of a building designed to minimally comply with the standard. This is different than the Appendix G simulation, often used in calculating U.S. Green Building Council LEED compliance, that includes more flexibility for trade-offs. While both methods employ energy modeling, and Appendix G is often preferred for its allowance of different baseline and proposed HVAC system types, only the energy cost budget method can be used to demonstrate compliance with ASHRAE 90.1-2010 or the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC).
