Building Envelope Standards for Energy Conservation, How to Comply with Section 4 of ASHRAE Standard 90-75 or Section J.3 of Appendix J of Standard Building Code in the State of Alabama

摘要

Architects, engineers, and other professionals are required to design new public buildings in compliance with Appendix J of the Standard Building Code. This manual provides a method of satisfying Section J.3 of Appendix J. Specific reference to the code is not necessary since the worksheet in this manual, upon completion, determines if compliance has been met. Included are step-by-step procedures and associated tables, graphs, and appendices, all of which were modified from copyrighted American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, Airconditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) material and adopted specifically to the State of Alabama. The appendices contain the following: the guide and worksheet; forms for computing Uo; selected pages from the ASHRAE 1972 Handbook of Fundamentals; sample calculations of Uo value; and a building envelope summary sheet.
