TC 9.6 Systems Energy Utilization

Committee Meeting Minutes

June 25, 2002

Honolulu, HI

The meeting was called to order by Cedric Trueman at 1:00 pm.

Richard Mazzucchi volunteered to serve as acting secretary for the
meeting.

The roll was checked and 10 members were in attendance to establish a
quorum.

Rich Mazzucchi moved to approve the Atlanta meeting minutes. Following a
second, Ken Gillespie moved indicated that references to GP-14P be
removed and that item 7.d.3 should read TC 1.9 instead of 9.1. With
these corrections the minutes were approved.

The Chairman reported:

-   Bill Landman is the new liaison for the ASHRAE Leaning Institute

-   Handbook committee now provides for annual revision on the CD
    version with an April 1 deadline

-   Journal Insights is seeking material and has implemented a
    "Technology Corner" and is looking for technical snippets.

-   On-line submission rate for the Program was 95%. Manuscript Central
    is to be implemented for on-line paper submission and processing.
    Double blind revisions will be protected.

-   The Technical Activities Committee has concerns about the TC
    websites so ASHRAE will provide web hosting

-   ASHRAE's long range research plan is being done by RAP and will be
    coordinated

-   Roster turnover process was automated, 500 out of 5000 had bad
    addresses and another 500 had no email addresses. Staff time and
    clock time was cut in half.

-   Nomination forms for the Technical Achievement Award are available
    to recognize sterling TC members. Contact the incoming chair (Adam
    Hinge) with suggestions.

-   The TC website is in place through the ORNL. The address is
    [http://www.ashrae.org](http://www.ashrae.org/) . Webmaster report
    is attached.

[Research]{.underline}

Subcommittee Report was provided by Bill Mixon.

-   ASHRAE has \$2.5 million this year which is about one million short
    of prior levels. This is sufficient funding for 90 to 95 projects,
    while 100 are in the works. Since there will be more competition
    each TC is limited to no more that two RTAR's per year.

-   RP-1092 has been funded and two proposal have been evaluated.

-   Three RTARs are in the works at present:

1.  Benchmarking of Building Energy Performance Rating Protocols. Ken
    Gillespie provided several editorial corrections that were noted and
    accepted by the committee. Bill Mixon moved that the revised work
    statement be approved. Agami Reddy seconded and the motion was
    approved 9-0-0, chairman not voting.

2.  Design Specifications for Performance Monitoring of New Buildings
    and their End-Uses. RTAR has been accepted and needs works
    statement. Charles Culp will work with Mark Hydeman and Hashem
    Akbari to prepare draft for review in Chicago.

3.  Development of Tools to Mine Building Data for Energy Efficiency.
    Not approved by TC and needs more revisions.

-   Research plan is attached. Rich Mazzucchi moved that it be accepted.
    Ken Gillespie seconded, carried unanimously.

At this point the TC went into executive session and visitors were
directed to leave the room so we could discuss contractor selection for
TRP-1092: Development of Procedures to Determine the Performance of HVAC
Systems. After discussion Ken Gillespie made a motion to award the
contract to one of the bidders. Robert Sonderegger seconded and the
motion carried 10-0-0. (note: as of time of preparation of these minutes
the approval of the bidder selection had not yet been approved by the
ASHRAE Tech Council).

[Handbook]{.underline}

Subcommittee Report was provided by Adam Hinge.

-   Chapter 34 name has changed to "Energy Use and Management"

-   Adam moved to accept the final chapter revision as distributed. Rich
    Mazzucchi seconded and the motion carried 10-0-0.

[Program]{.underline}

Report was provided by Mark Case and a listing of program items was
distributed.

-   The TC discussed the ranking of programs for Chicago and placed them
    in the following priority:

1.  Green Building Tax Credits

2.  Application of Guideline 14P: Measurement of Energy and Demand
    Savings Compared to IPMVP

3.  Building Energy Performance Metrics: Who is doing what, why, and how

4.  Should ASHRAE develop building energy performance metric
    methodologies

5.  Empirical Performance Standards? Establishing a Link between
    Standard 90.1 ECB and Guideline 14.

-   Mark Case moved and George Reeves seconded that the list be accepted
    with rankings as shown. Case moved and Hinge seconded that we
    cosponsor Applying Measured Data Sets to M&V.

-   Adam Hinge proposed another symposium entitled "Benchmarking
    Commercial Buildings Around the World." Motion carried.

[Standards]{.underline}

Ken Gillespie distributed and presented the attached subcommittee
report.

-   George Reeves moved that we recommend Standard 105 be revised, Case
    second, carried.

-   George Reeves moved that Hashem Akbari will develop a proposal for
    the Chicago meeting to revise Standard 90.1 to require cool roofs as
    a prescriptive requirement. Hinge second, carried.

-   Ken Gillespie moved that a liaison be established between ASHRAE and
    California PIER. Reeves second, carried.

[Monitoring and Energy Performance]{.underline}

Ken Gillespie distributed the attached subcommittee report.

Bill Mixon moved that a project monitoring committee be established for
TRP-1092 comprised of Hashem Akbari, Ken Gillespie, Steve Carlson, and
Mark Hydeman. Adam Hinge second, carried.

[Energy Management]{.underline}

Bill Mixon moved that a project monitoring committee be established for
TRP-1092 comprised of Hashem Akbari, Ken Gillespie, Steve Carlson, and
Mark Hydeman. Adam Hinge second, carried.

The meeting was adjourned on schedule.

END OF MINUTES

Webmaster Report

TC 9.6, ASHRAE 2002 Winter Meeting

For Honolulu, June 25, 2002

1.  The ASHRAE website continues to show the old TC Scope, and for now
    the TC website also shows this old scope. Once ASHRAE approves the
    new scope, the websites can be updated. Need to know the status of
    this approval.

2.  Past ASHRAE Meeting Technical program files seem to be the main
    attraction for the search engines, possibly because there are so
    many different technical words in each.

3.  Subcommittee chairs are not providing input. The Research portion
    could probably use some material, but Standards may also want to add
    / revise material.

4.  Additional "News" items that are considered worthy for the TC to
    post would be appreciated.

5.  Traffic to site shows a change, possibly due to changing ways of
    using the internet. Hits at the site now appear to be at the rate of
    thousands per year by search engines and search assistant-type
    programs. Access by non-search-type programs appears to be in the
    range of less than a thousand, and probably less than 500, hits a
    year. Total hits are in the range of 4,000/yr. A "hit" means that an
    internet denizen requested one or more files at one time from the
    site, including files requested in succession.

ASHRAE TC9.6, Systems Energy Utilization

RESEARCH PLAN

June 25, 2002

RESEARCH TOPICS (listed by priority)

1.  To develop and validate procedures by which building professionals
    can determine the annual heating and cooling energy use in existing
    buildings from short term field measurements.

2.  To develop a clear understanding of the energy performance rating
    protocols in use today for both new buildings and existing buildings
    and to develop improved energy benchmarking methods.

3.  Develop specifications and protocols for monitoring the energy
    performance of new buildings and their end uses.

4.  Develop methods and tools that use data normally collected with
    energy management systems and O&M procedures to identify energy
    efficiency retrofit opportunities.

5.  Continue to update and improve the recommended methodologies and
    procedures for planning and completing projects to monitor energy
    use in buildings, as documented in Chapter 39 of the ASHRAE
    Applications Handbook.

6.  To provide guidance on establishing and implementing an effective,
    ongoing energy management program, as documented in Chapter 34 of

TC 9.6 Standards Subcommittee

June 24, 2002, Honolulu, HI

Meeting Minutes

Chaired by Ken Gillepsie (for George Reeves)

Present: Cedric Trueman, Laszlo Emho, Hashem Akbari, Dieter Bartel, Adam
Hinge, Yew Wah Wong, Mingsheng Liu, Bill Mixon.

1.  Guideline 14P has been approved by Standards Committee for
    publication. It will go to the BOD for final approval on Thursday,
    June 27.

2.  Standard 100R -- Someone remembers seeing a call for members, but
    the meeting had no further information concerning organization of
    the SPC.

3.  a\) Proposed Guideline on Method for Benchmarking Energy Use in
    Buildings. It was noted that Mark Case was working on TPS; but
    nothing is available for discussion.

b\) Standard 105, Standard Methods of Measuring and Expressing Building
Energy Performance - Discussion of information for this Standard.
General feeling is that the following options should be investigated:

-   Revise Std. 105; pursue an independent guideline on benchmarking

-   Revise Std. 105 and extend its scope to encompass benchmarking; this
    may, or may not, eliminate the guideline on benchmarking

-   Convert Std. 105 to a guideline, and revise

-   In all of the preceding, to consider both new buildings and data on
    existing buildings

> A committee of Hinge, Case, Gillespie and Reeves and MacDonald who
> were absent are to evaluate the options and report back with
> recommendations.

4.  Cool Roofs: Hashem Akbari reported that California Title 24 2005
    will contain prescriptive requirements for "cool roofs" on all flat
    roofs. Motion (made by Gillespie, seconded by Akbari) that the TC
    support the development of a change proposal to Std. 90.1 to require
    cool roofs as a prescriptive requirement. Passed.

5.  Liaison between ASHRAE and research funding agencies. Motion (made
    by Akbari, seconded by Gillespie) that ASHRAE appoint a liaison
    between it and California PIER. Passed.
