NATIONAL IMPACT OF ANSI/ASHRAE/IES STANDARD 90.1-2016

ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1 is the U.S. national commercial building model energy code and it has a significant impact on many programs and policies that impact energy savings across the United States and the world. Determining the energy savings from the latest edition of Standard 90.1 relative to previous editions is critical for beyond code programs and for others setting energy performance targets. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory developed prototype building models to determine the energy savings from 90.1-2016 standard. This paper presents the rigorous modeling and development process that PNNL has established and its applications. In addition, the energy savings results of Standard 90.1-2016 are described.

Energy Savings Analysis of the Proposed Revision of the Washington D.C. Non-Residential Energy Code

This report presents the results of an assessment of savings for the proposed Washington D.C. energy code relative to ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010. It includes annual and life cycle savings for site energy, source energy, energy cost, and carbon dioxide emissions that would result from adoption and enforcement of the proposed code for newly constructed buildings in Washington D.C. over a five year period.

City Reach Code Technical Support Document

This report describes and analyzes a set of energy efficiency measures that will save 20% energy over ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2013. The measures will be used to formulate a Reach Code for cities aiming to go beyond national model energy codes. A coalition of U.S. cities together with other stakeholders wanted to facilitate the development of voluntary guidelines and standards that can be implemented in stages at the city level to improve building energy efficiency. The coalition's efforts are being supported by the U.S. Department of Energy via Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and in collaboration with the New Buildings Institute.
