Description
This User's Manual provides detailed instruction for the design of commercial and high-rise residential buildings to ensure their compliance with ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007. In addition, this Manual encourages the user to apply the principles of effective energy-conserving design when designing buildings and building systems; offers information on the intent and application of Standard 90.1; illuminates the Standard through the use of abundant sample calculations and examples; streamlines the process of showing compliance; provides Standard forms to demonstrate compliance; provides useful reference material to assist designers in efficiently completing a successful and complying design.
This Manual also instructs the user in the application of several tools used for compliance with Standard 90.1: the EnvStd computer program used in conjunction with the Building Envelope Trade-Off compliance method and the selection and application of energy simulation programs used in conjunction with the energy cost budget method of compliance.
EnvStd 6.0, applicable DOE2 files, and form-field PDFs of compliance forms (ready for the user to use in the field) are included on a CD that comes with the printed Manual.
This User's Manual is published in I-P units throughout, with SI units included where convenient, and it also includes a conversion table for converting some I-P units to SI units.
This Manual is intended to be useful to numerous types of building professionals, including: architects and engineers who must apply the Standard to the design of their buildings; plan examiners and field inspectors who must enforce the Standard in areas where it is adopted as code; general and specialty contractors who must construct buildings in compliance with the standard; product manufacturers, state and local energy offices, policy groups, utilities, and others.
The downloadable version of this product comes as a Zip file and includes a PDF of the User's Manual and all the supporting files located on the CD that accompanies the print version. You must have WinZip to open the download.
