Name
Session 07: ASHRAE Guideline 36 – Best in Class HVAC Control Sequences of Operations Can Significantly Impact Building Energy Use
Date & Time
Tuesday, September 12, 2023, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
Description

Standard building HVAC practice includes custom control sequences of operations (SOO). The SOO is often dumbed down to “keep it simple,” to the point that the SOO is not compliant with codes and standards such as Standard 90.1/Title 24 (energy codes) and Standard 62.1/Title 24 (ventilation codes). ASHRAE Guideline 36-2021, High-Performance Sequences of Operation for HVAC Systems, is created to address these issues. It includes best-in-class control SOO, optimized to minimize energy use, maximize comfort and indoor air quality, and is intended to be preprogrammed and pre-debugged by control system manufacturers. ASHRAE Guideline 36 has the potential to have a larger impact on building energy use than any other ASHRAE standard or guideline. Find out the details in this valuable presentation.
