**TC 7.6 - Systems Energy Utilization**

**29 June 2004**

**Nashville, TN**

Chairman Hinge called the meeting to order at 1:00 PM. Attendees
introduced themselves. The roll was checked, 10 members were in
attendance constituting a quorum. Members present were Hinge, Martin,
Chase, Bartel, Carlson, MacDonald, Sud, Culp, Deru and Reeves. Case,
Gillespie and Misuriello arrived following introductions, making members
present 13. The sign-up sheet was circulated. Members were asked to
update the current roster.

[]{.mark}

The minutes from the Anaheim meeting had previously been sent to the
members by e-mail. A motion was made "To approve the Kansas City
minutes" (made by Chase, seconded by MacDonald). The motion was approved
(9-0-0 CNV).

The Chairman made some introductory remarks. The agenda was reviewed,
and it was noted that the new TC Special Publication on "Procedures for
Commercial Building Energy Audits" had been available in the ASHRAE
bookstore, but had already sold out, reinforcing the value of the work
that the TC has done. He thanked publicly those that had worked hard in
finalizing the document.

Chairman's Report -- Adam Hinge

-   At the Section 7 TC Chairs' Breakfast the new Section Head, Janice
    Peterson, was named and other new liaisons were appointed who may
    show up through the meeting.

-   It was noted that all TC documents, including draft minutes and any
    significant communications need to include the ASHRAE copyright and
    disclaimer information.

-   A handout of "Frequently Asked Questions" about the SP-102 Advanced
    Energy Design Guide project, prepared by Don Colliver, Chair of the
    SP-102 Cognizant Committee, was distributed. The Chairman recognized
    the tremendous contribution by the members of the SP Committee, and
    the significant effort from many TC members in providing valuable
    input and comments on the different drafts.

Webmaster's Report -- Mike MacDonald

Webmaster's Report is attached (Att. 1).

-   Webmaster noted need to update site for new TC Management Team, and
    requested that the seminar presentations be sent to him to be posted
    on the website.

-   Still looking for newsworthy items to post on TC website.

Membership -- Ish Sud

-   New roster taking effect after this meeting will have 13 voting
    members; Steve Carlson will become Chairman.

-   Members should continue to look for new people to participate on the
    many TC activities; any interested people in attendance should
    contact Ish.

-   Ish will continue to contact inactive member to determine their
    future involvement.

Research -- Steve Carlson

Sub-committee Report is attached (Att. 2)

-   Project Monitoring Subcommittees (PMS) met for both RP-1092
    (Development of Procedure to Determine In-situ Performance of
    Commonly Used HVAC Systems), and RP-1286 (Evaluation of Building
    Performance Rating Protocols) and reviewed progress to date. Both
    PMSs will also have separate meetings in Orlando.

-   Discussion began about the TC Research Plan (last page of
    subcommittee report). A motion was made (made by Carlson, seconded
    by Gillespie) "To affirm Research Plan as presented". Motion was
    approved (12-0-0 CNV).

-   Steve discussed the research planning work to date, and stated that
    the Research Advisory Panel (RAP) has begun to develop guidance
    regarding research priorities, focusing on 8 key areas. Charlie Culp
    and Dieter Bartel, both members of RAP, stated that the 8 key areas
    are not yet at all finalized, and RAP is still seeking input toward
    the prioritization effort.

Program -- Mark Case

-   The Program Plan is attached (Att. 3), with suggested ranking of
    Orlando programs and past programs.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Mark noted that program proposals for Orlando must be submitted by 6
    August.

-   Harry Misuriello gave a report on his seminar and forum related to
    Standard 90.1; members requested that Harry prepare a brief summary
    of the forum input to forwarded to the SSPC 90.1 leadership and
    posted on the website (as well as posting the seminar
    presentations).

-   A motion was made -- "To approve the Program Plan with Rankings as
    proposed" (as shown in Att. 3; made by Case, seconded by Bartel).
    The motion was approved 12-0-0 CNV.

Handbook -- Dieter Bartel

Sub-committee meeting notes are attached (Att. 4).

-   The subcommittee began review of Chapters 35 & 40 for updates in the
    2007 Handbook.

-   With uncertainty about availability of CBECS and RECS data in the
    future, there may be a need to revisit what data are presented in
    the Handbook tables in Ch 35. It was also noted that Ch 35 should
    reference the Handbook Chapter on Commissioning, and Dieter will
    coordinate with Charlie Culp who is leading the update of that
    chapter.

At this point in the meeting, Mark Case gave an update on two new
business items before he needed to leave. First, he'd attended a meeting
on ASHRAE's behalf about the new EPRI/LBNL Center for Green Building
Research. He felt that there was not much work planned by the new Center
that would impact TC 7.6

Mark also presented information about a request by TEGA to the Tech
Council suggesting that ASHRAE become more involved with reporting on
Greenhouse Gas Emissions from buildings. Mark suggested that TC 7.6
should find out more about this subject, resulting in a motion being
made (moved by Case, seconded by Reeves) "To express TC 7.6 concern that
ASHRAE become more involved with Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting for
buildings, and this be done in a letter from the TC Chair to the TAC
Section Head." Motion approved 12-0-0, CNV.

Standards -- Cedric Trueman

Sub-committee meeting notes are attached (Att. 5).

-   Standards 90.1 and 90.2 (both on continuous maintenance) will both
    published in new versions for 2004, and will be available for sale
    in Orlando. An updated Users Manual for 90.1 is being prepared, and
    any interested reviewers are encouraged to contact Keith Emerson,
    Chairman of SP 97, the committee preparing the Manual.

-   Updates on the activities of SPC 100 and SPC 105 were given. SPC 100
    is targeting this fall for the first public review of revisions. SPC
    105 has proposed changes to the Title, Purpose and Scope, and is
    awaiting approval from the Standards Committee.

-   With Ken Gillespie rolling off as a member of TC 7.6, he requested
    that a new liaison to GPC 22 be appointed. Ken made a motion
    (seconded by Martin), that "TC 7.6 appoint Lou Rugolo as TC liaison
    to GPC 22". Motion passed 10-0-0, CNV.

-   Cedric introduced a new Research RTAR ([Development of Fenestration
    Criteria for 90.1 Standard]{.underline}), that was requested by SSPC
    90.1, and TC 4.5 (Fenestration). Those two committees requested that
    TC 7.6 endorse this RTAR, as we are cognizant TC to SSPC 90.1. A
    motion was made (Misuriello, seconded by Reeves) that "TC 7.6
    endorse the RTAR on Development of Fenestration Criteria for 90.1
    Standard". Motion approved 9-0-1, CNV.

Monitoring & Energy Performance -- Mike MacDonald

Sub-committee notes are attached (Att. 6).

-   The Working Group to evaluate energy conservation in Federal
    Government Office Buildings and Governmental Industrial Facilities,
    chaired by Alexander Zhivov met on Saturday afternoon. Mike
    MacDonald and other TC members attended the meeting, and provided
    copies of a report on the meeting (Att. 7). The Working Group plans
    to meet again in Orlando. It was noted that this working group is a
    good effort to collaborate with other TCs.

-   Mike noted that there is more interest in reviewing actual green
    building performance with the growth of LEED; he said that EPA is
    requesting that more information on this topic be made available.
    Mike also noted that a paper on Comparing Commercial Building
    Performance around the World, prepared by MacDonald and Hinge, was
    presented at a conference in Germany in April.

Energy Management -- Dick Pearson

Sub-committee meeting notes are attached (Att. 8)

-   The Energy Audit Special Publication is available in the bookstore;
    the publication is a good primer for owners on performing an audit.

-   Dick gave an update on the potential curriculum for an Energy
    Management short course; he noted that he has volunteers to work on
    developing different sections of the course curriculum, and hopes to
    submit this to the ASHRAE Learning Institute by the Orlando meeting.

Old Business: SP 102 Update had been given previously in the meeting.
Also, regarding ESAP (the Energy Savings Analysis Protocol), had been
discussed during program report above.

New Business:

-   The Chair reported that TC 9.5, Residential and Small Building
    Applications, is looking to disseminate information related to
    residential small buildings. TC members with interest in these types
    of buildings are encouraged to participate.

-   John Wimer of the National Center for Energy Management and Building
    Technologies (NCEMBT) gave a brief report on the new Center's
    activities (see Att. 9). He noted that they have received DOE
    funding for a number of items closely related to ASHRAE and TC 7.6.
    He encouraged that groups with similar interests contact his
    organization regarding possible collaboration and co-funding.

A motion was made (moved by Misuriello, seconded by Gillespie) to
adjourn (approved 10-0-0, CNV). The Meeting was adjourned at 3:25 CDT.

Webmaster Report

TC 7.6, ASHRAE 2004 Annual Meeting

Nashville, June 29, 2004

1.  Traffic to the site remains in the same range.

2.  Updating of some areas on website might be useful, e.g., research,
    standards.

3.  Remember to plan for posting seminar material on website.

4.  Access to TC areas for Non-Members from ASHRAE website is broken
    from the Technology & Standards area, but works when using the Site
    Map:

    a.  Non-Members accessing website and selecting "Technology &
        Standards" at the top of the page go to a page that has
        "Technical Committees" as a link on the left side --- selecting
        this "TC" link takes one nowhere

    b.  Non-Members accessing website and selecting "Site Map" under
        "Quick Links" at the left are taken to a listing that under
        "Technology & Standards" has links to "Technical Committees,"
        "TC Information," and "TC Home Pages." There is also all the
        normal info on TCs.

    c.  If TC concurs, Webmaster will notify Mike Vaughan that TC 7.6
        recommends that the "Technical Committee" link on the ASHRAE
        website should take Non-Members to the same location that
        Members accessing that same link go, as well as Non-members
        accessing the link on the Site Map.

5.  Remember to keep the webmaster posted on worthy news items.

# ASHRAE TC 7.6 Research Subcommittee

**Nashville - 6/27/04**

### Steven Carlson, Chair

1.  ***14 attendees***

2.  ***Research Projects in Progress***

RP1092 -- "Development of Procedure to Determine In-situ Performance of
Commonly used HVAC Systems", Hashem Akbari, chair, M. Liu, Univ. of
Nebraska, contractor

Much of the needed data from six selected buildings is already
available. They are currently augmenting data with airflow measurements
and verifying with limited short-term monitoring. The budget is ok, but
the schedule is about 2 months behind.

Schedule a 45 min meeting time early Sunday afternoon in Orlando

RP1286 -- " Evaluation of Building Performance Rating Protocols",
Michael Deru, chair,

Jason Glazer, GARD Analytics, contractor

They are starting in depth review of five selected protocols (task 2):
EnergyStar, LEED/LEED-EB, ARCH/CALARCH, BREEAM and EnergyPrism.

Expect task 2 report by end of September

Expect draft final report by March 05

Schedule a 45 min meeting time early Sunday afternoon in Orlando

3.  ***RTAR development***

Design Specifications and Procedures for Measured Performance Ratings of
New Buildings and their End-Use Energy Use

We have a work statement started by Ken and expanded by Jeff, but no
RTAR is in the RAC research plan -- we need to submit an RTAR. Mike,
Hashem and Taghi will try to better define the project and develop an
RTAR. \[Since their meeting, they have not been able to reach a succinct
statement of the research need.\] Jeff had noted that 2.8 would
cosponsor the work statement.

***Development of Tools to Mine Building Data for Energy Efficiency
Opportunities***

Andrew Price updated RTAR at Kansas City. He did not attend Anaheim or
Nashville, but is still interested in subject. Anyone interested in the
topic should contact Andrew. \[Ken noted later that 4.7 has indicated
interest in the subject -- contact Agammi\].

***Catalog of Building End-use Data***

Taghi started an RTAR to replace the FIND list of end use databases. We
questioned if this topic is research worthy, given the search
capabilities of the internet. We suggested that this topic be raised at
the Energy Management subcommittee and/or handbook as identifying
additional sources of end-use data. \[Steve mentioned subject to Dick,
but we ran out of time at EM meeting\].

4.  ***Research Plan***

The subcommittee agreed that Steve would revise the research plan to
update the current status and present it to the TC.

5.  ***Action Items for TC 7.6 Meeting***

    -   Approve research plan

TC 7.6 Systems Energy Utilization

Re: **TC 7.6, Systems Energy Utilization, Handbook Sub-committee
Report**

**June 29, 2004, Nashville, TN**

> The Handbook Sub-committee met to review Applications Chapter 35,
> Energy Use and Management, and Chapter 40, Building Energy Monitoring.

There were 6 members and 1 guest present at the meeting.

Attached is a summary of the Handbook Sub-committee meeting held on June
27, 2004.

Reviewers listed on attachment were confirmed with anticipation that one
or two more may be added to our list in coming weeks.

Tasks for items 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 10 in Section 4 and both items of
Section 5 of attached have been assigned to sub-committee
members/reviewers. Reminders of assignments will be sent out shortly
with the expectation of reviews and write ups to be sent to this chair
no later than October 31, 2004.

The full TC will be provided with the preliminary changes at the 2005
Winter Meeting in Orlando, along with any other items which surface in
the interim.

Respectfully submitted,

> Gaylord Opryland Hotel, Nashville, TN

1.  The meeting opened at 5:20 pm, with the sub-committee chair, Cedric
    Trueman, welcoming members and visitors. All present introduced
    themselves and completed the sign-in sheet (attached).

2.  [Update on Std. 90.1, Energy Conservation for Buildings Except
    Low-Rise Residential Buildings]{.underline}

> Cedric Trueman, a member of SSPC 90.1, provided a status update. Since
> the Anaheim meeting, about 14 addenda have been approved, or are in
> the final stages of approval. Included is addendum 'am', which
> replaces the 26 climate tables with 8 basic climate zones (with some
> zones having "moist", "dry" or "marine" sub-zones). In the United
> States, county boundaries define the climate zones geographically. All
> addenda receiving final approval in Nashville will be included in the
> 2004 edition of the standard, which will be printed and available for
> purchase at the Orlando meeting in February 2005.
>
> An updated Users Manual for 90.1-2004 will also be completed, printed,
> and available for purchase in Orlando. A special publications
> committee, SP 97, chaired by TC member Keith Emerson, is overseeing
> the work of a contractor who is writing the manual. Keith stated that
> a review and comment period for the first draft is underway now, and
> closes July 8. Keith invited any TC 7.6 members who wish to review the
> draft, and provide comments, to contact him here in Nashville. There
> will be a second, final review period in mid to late August.

5.  Program:

    a.  Brief discussion of Anaheim forum and seminar on 90.1 held

        i.  Forum attendees wanted a lot more: 2 hours in Orlando

        ii. Although the need to address O&M was mentioned in the Forum,
            Henryk Manczyk indicated that commissioning must also be
            considered

    b.  Desire for programs on evaluation of high-performance buildings
        discussed, and Tom Hicks indicated EPA has already approached US
        Green Buildings Council about doing such evaluation work

        i.  Would include more than just LEED buildings

        ii. Would be funded by EPA to a major degree

        iii. USGBC agrees in principle to do, but nothing started yet

        iv. Tom to keep us updated on potential for progress

    c.  Paper by Paul Torcellini of NREL covering even more material
        than presented at Nashville in TC 2.8 seminar to be forwarded to

The first meeting brainstorming generated ideas for the first draft of
the list of energy conservation technologies and measures related to the
building envelope and HVAC systems. This list will be formalized by CERL
and distributed via e-mail among all participants.

Participants agreed to start generating descriptions of
technologies/energy conservation measures and case studies with
applications of these technologies in a user-friendly format. CERL will
provide templates for case studies and technology description.

There was a brief discussion about the matrix for the technology
screening, which will include: climatic zones with representative cities
developed by ASHRAE; 2-3 energy (heat and power) price ranges with a day
and night schedule, several representative internal loads (for
industrial and administrative) buildings.

Participants proposed a double seminar on "Energy Saving Technologies
and Measures in Federal Office and Industrial Buildings. Case studies"
in Denver, CO and asked representatives from TC 7.6, 5.8, 9.2, 5.5 to
request sponsorship/co-sponsorship of this seminar by their TCs.

The next meeting will take place in Orlando, FL on February 5, 2005
between 1:00 and 3:30 p.m. Room to accommodate 25 participants is
requested for the next meeting.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING

Monday, June 28, 2004, 4:15 PM Opryland

1\. 15 TC Members and 3 guests attended the EM subcommittee meeting on
Monday afternoon.

2\. It is moved that Dennis Landsberg conduct a forum in Orlando,
"Should ASHRAE develop a guideline on best practices in Energy
Management in Buildings?" This is an outgrowth of the ESAP program.

3\. Reports by subcommittee chair:

A. A new Special Publications "Procedures for Commercial Energy Audits"
is now for sale in the Bookstore.

B. Various TC members contributed to the rapid development of SP102.
On-going energy tracking commentary is included, as requested by the TC.

4\. The chair presented a 19 page draft of a proposal ALI on-line
course, "Practical Energy Management for Building Managers". The
following people volunteered to assist in completing certain sections:

Utility Bills -- Keith Emerson and Dieter Bartel

Benchmarking and Targets -- Steve Carlson

Energy Audits - Dennis Landsberg

Barriers -- Lou Rugalo and Mike Tillou

Assist where needed: - Harry Misuriello

> Wayne Robertson
>
> Mark Case
>
> Dick Pearson

Draft sections will be exchanged by e-mail on or before October 15,
2004. The goal is to

submit a specific program proposal to ALI for consideration at the
Orlando meeting. This activity has considerable synergy with the
development of both Chapter 35 and Std. 105.

5\. Other possible use of an Energy Management Course

• Refine Chapter 35 (must not conflict!)

• Co-ordinate with Energy Star Flow Chart

• Develop a 3-hour short course

• Develop a 1-hour presentation for local chapter outreach

Respectfully submitted,

Richard J. Pearson, P.E.
