1 ASHRAE Shaping Tomorrow s Built Environment Today

2 Who We Are 53,000 volunteer members in over 130 countries More than 5,000 student members More than 170 chapters More than 250 student branches More than 7,500 young professional members Consulting engineers, contractors, manufacturers, manufacturing representatives, architects and students

3 What Makes Us Different Global membership Members create our technologies Leader in the HVACR industry for technical advancements One of few HVAC&R organizations in world with own research program

4 Modern air conditioning systems protect the health, comfort and productivity of occupants. Unfortunately, they consume a lot of energy while providing these benefits. When these systems are not operated properly, the energy they use can increase by 50% or more. Elimination of non-value producing energy helps protect our environment while saving building owners money. -ASHRAE Presidential Member William Harrison

6 Standards and Guidelines Certification ASHRAE Headquarters

7 Standards and Guidelines ASHRAE Standard 202P, The Commissioning Process for Facilities and Systems Purpose: identify the minimum acceptable commissioning process for buildings and systems. Scope: provides procedures, methods, and documentation requirements for each phase of a project delivery from pre-design through occupancy and operation phases

8 Standards and Guidelines Provides guidance on optimizing O&M of buildings to achieve lowest economic and environmental life cycle cost: safe, productive indoor environments low economic life cycle cost low energy, water and resource use low impacts on the environment Applies to all buildings

9 Standards and Guidelines Guideline , The Commissioning Process, describes process capable of verifying a facility and its systems meet the owner s project requirements Guideline , HVAC&R Technical Requirements for the Commissioning Process, describes the technical requirements for commissioning process described in Guideline 0

10 Standards and Guidelines ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA , Standard Practice for Inspection and Maintenance of Commercial-Building HVAC Systems, establishes minimum HVAC inspection and maintenance requirements that preserve a system s ability to: achieve acceptable thermal comfort energy efficiency indoor air quality

11 Certification Helps building owners, developers, operators, etc. recognize professionals capable of assuring that systems and equipment are designed, installed, tested, operated and maintained according to operational needs. Almost 400 Commissioning Process Management Professionals

12 ASHRAE Headquarters The greatest opportunity to change energy consumption in the built environment is through modification of existing buildings.

13 Demonstrate commitment to sustainability Goals of Renewal Deliver a healthy and productive workplace Provide a learning center Create a living lab

14 Building Excellence A- in As Designed category of ASHRAE s Building Energy Quotient program Recipient of ENERGY STAR Awarded LEED Platinum in New Construction in Version 2.2

15 Energy Efficiency Site Energy Use Intensity Before Jan. 2005: 82.3 kbtu/sqft ENERGY STAR Rating: 36 percentile After Jan. 2012: 37.5 kbtu/sqft ENERGY STAR Rating: 95 percentile Percent reduction in EUI: 54%

16 Commissioning

17 Industry Consortium for Building Performance Building owners/occupants demand better performing buildings ASHRAE is leading efforts by: Creating a consortium of likeminded organizations Working with American Institute of Architects, Building Owners, U.S. Green Building Council and Managers Association International Goal is to create a path to deliver and operate buildings at their full potential Member input is extremely important

18 HVAC&R Construction & Design Build Technologies Concerned with enhancing the collaboration of contractors and design build firms with the entire ASHRAE membership Works to ensure that the relevant research, publications and educational materials promote the design, construction and operation of resource efficient buildings

19 Sustaining ASHRAE Through Leadership Developing our future leadership Building our global presence Strengthening our industry

20 Strengthening Our Industry We have to deliver and maintain better buildings That means everyone in the process has to get better ASHRAE needs to play a leadership role in bringing members of our industry together What if we launched a quality initiative that included all of the key players?
