Course 110: Performance-based Compliance with ASHRAE Standard 90.1

The training focuses on ASHRAE Standard 90.1 2016 Section 11 Energy Cost Budget Method and Appendix G Performance Rating Method, which are the performance-based compliance options with 2020 Energy Conservation Construction Code of New York State for commercial buildings. It describes the energy modeling requirements for building envelopes, lighting, HVAC, service water heating, and miscellaneous other systems, highlighting similarities and differences between 90.1 Section 11 and Appendix G, and goes over 90.1 mandatory requirements that projects must meet. The training also covers the special rules for renovations, core and shell and tenant fit-out projects, and the requirements that are often overlooked or misunderstood such as the handling of renewable energy, combined heat and power (CHP), district heating and cooling systems, elevators, and commercial and industrial equipment. In addition, the training goes over the changes to ASHRAE Standard 90.1 Section 11 and Appendix G included in the 2020 New York Stretch Energy Code and the 2020 New York City Energy Conservation Code. The presentation segments are followed by live polls and interactive discussions.
