[Bldg-sim] ASHRAE TC 9.6: Benchmarking

[Jason Glazer]

Thanks for pointing out that the appendix is out for public 
review from the 90.1 committee of ASHRAE.   The title is of 
the proposed appendix is:

  PERFORMANCE RATING METHOD

It will be an informative appendix, so it doesn't change 
the stringency of the 90.1 standard at all.  Instead, its 
focus is on helping people determine how much better a 
building is than the 90.1 standard.  It is out for public 
review until September 9 under the name:

  BSR/ASHRAE/IESNA Addendum e to ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard
  90.1-2001, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise
  Residential Buildings 

The "addenda e" is the part to remember.  You can download 
it from:

  http://www.ashrae.org/STANDARDS/availdft.htm

It is about 20 pages.  Short enough to read and think about 
how it could be improved the next time you are stuck 
waiting somewhere. 

If you have questions on the text or approach, you are 
welcome to ask me about them since I am the new Chair of 
the Energy Cost Budget subcommittee of ASHRAE 90.1.  I 
encourage constructive comments especially from people with 
experience in benchmarking buildings.  We would like to 
make it as usable (while still being accurate) as we can.  

If you have comments they should be formally submitted but 
if you just have a question, please let me know.

Jason

PS Mark and Ken, thanks for posting this.  I should have 
thought of posting an announcement myself.
