ASHRAE's Most Used Standards Available on One CD
ATLANTA - ASHRAE's "greatest hits" - its 12 top selling standards and
guidelines - are now available on one CD.
Design Essentials: ASHRAE's Most Referenced Standards and
Guidelines
contains a library of documents that can be easily searched and printed
with
copy and paste features for text and graphics. The standards and
guidelines
address design or system operations, and most are code-intended
standards.
"Because ASHRAE standards/guidelines often refer to requirements in
other standards, our documents need to be used together in order to
understand the means for compliance with any one of them," Rick
Hermans,
chair of ASHRAE's Standards Committee, said. "The Design Essentials CD
is
intended to make that process simpler for the user."
Hermans noted that the standards and guidelines included in the
CD
serve as the basis for HVAC&R design and some of them are referenced
in
building codes.
Included are:
.. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15-2004, Safety Standard for Refrigeration
Systems;
.. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 34-2004, Designation and Safety
Classification
of Refrigerants;
.. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 52.2-1999, Method of Testing General
Ventilation Air-Cleaning Devices for Removal Efficiency by Particle
Size;
.. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55-2004, Thermal Environmental Conditions for
Human Occupancy;
.. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor
Air Quality;
.. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.2-2004, Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor
Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings;
.. ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004, Energy Standard for
Buildings
Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings (I-P edition);
.. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 90.2-2004, Energy-Efficient Design of
Low-Rise
Residential Buildings;
.. ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135-2004, BACnetR: A Data Communication
Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks;
.. ASHRAE Guideline 0-2005, The Commissioning Process;
.. ASHRAE Guideline 1-1996, The HVAC Commissioning Process;
.. ASHRAE Guideline 13-2000, Specifying Direct Digital Control
System.
