ASHRAE Guideline 36: Advanced HVAC Control Sequences
January 27, 2017 — In the commercial industrial sector, retrofit energy efficiency measures such as the installation of LED lighting and variable frequency drives (VFDs) on HVAC equipment have become common. Matt Napolitan and Rick Stehmeyer will present an overview of ASHRAE Guideline 36 on February 2 at the Better Buildings by Design (BBD) conference. ASHRAE Guideline 36 is a set of HVAC control sequences that can be implemented as part of a retrofit or new construction, and the algorithms that building automation systems employ to keep commercial buildings comfortable and efficient.
The BBD Conference will be held February 1 & 2, 2017 at the Sheraton Conference Center in South Burlington, VT. Better Buildings by Design is the region’s premier design and construction conference, which features interactive learning about building durability, efficiency, and value for both residential and commercial projects.
This presentation may qualify for the following accreditation: AEE, AFE, AIA HSW, ASHRAE, BPI, CSI, LEED, NATE, Passive House
