Report: DOE Moves to Approve ASHRAE's 90.1-2016 Energy Efficiency Building Standards

摘要

On July 25, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published its preliminary analysis of Standard 90.1-2016, which establishes a model energy code for energy conservation standards for residential and commercial buildings; it is administered by DOE's Building Energy Codes Program. The Standard is developed, and regularly updated, by three private sector commercial-engineering membership organizations: ANSI - the American National Standards Institute; AHSRAE - American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers; and IES - Illuminating Engineering Society, an ANSI Standards Development Organization.
