The Ashrae Standard 90.1, 2001 User's Manual
provides criteria for energy efficient design
Sets minimum requirements for the energy-efficient design of new
buildings so they may be constructed, operated and maintained in
a manner that minimizes energy use without constraining the building
function or the comfort and productivity of the occupants.
The new 90.1 User’s Manual was developed as a companion document
to ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2001, and reflects all addenda and
changes made to the standard. The User’s Manual eases use of the
standard by offering information about its intent and application,
as well as by including numerous examples and sample calculations
that illustrate how architects and engineers can apply Standard
90.1-2001 to their building designs. The manual streamlines the
compliance process and includes standard, ready-to-use compliance
forms. It also provides information on energy simulation computer
programs used in the energy cost budget method of compliance. A
CD accompanies the manual and contains an updated version of the
EnvStd computer program and PDF versions of the compliance forms
provided in the User’s Manual. The EnvStd program is used for doing
building envelope trade-offs. The CD requires a 486 or Pentium-based
computer and either Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT 3.5 or later.
8MB of RAM (16MB recommended) and 10MB of free hard-disk space is
required. 338 pp.
