ASHRAE Technical Committee 4.7: Energy Calculations
|
Accurate energy models at every engineer's fingertips
Welcome to the home page of ASHRAE Technical Committee 4.7. This technical
committee is concerned with identifying, evaluating, developing, and recommending
procedures for calculating energy performance of buildings. This site gives
access to the following:
Sub-Committees
TC 4.7 has a number of sub-committees. These are:
- Handbook
- Applications
- Inverse Methods
- Simulation and Component Models
Research and program items are normally dealt with by each of the latter three
sub-committees and recommended to the main TC.
TC 4.7 Standards
This TC is responsible for the following standards:
- ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140-2001: Standard Method of Test for the Evaluation of
Building Energy Analysis Computer Programs.
This standard 'specifies test procedures for evaluating the
technical capabilities and ranges of applicability of computer programs
that calculate the thermal performance of buildings and their HVAC systems.'
(ASHRAE news release ).
Other TCs
ASHRAEs technical committees are organized into sections. TC 4.7 is part of
Section 4.0 Load Calculations and Energy Requirements. The TCs in
Section 4.0 are:
- TC 4.1 Load Calculation Data and Procedures;
- TC 4.2 Weather Information;
- TC 4.4 Building Materials and Building Envelope Performance;
- TC 4.5 Fenestration;
- TC 4.7 Energy Calculations;
- TC 4.10 Indoor Environmental Modeling;
