Seminar

This seminar is targeted at design professionals, code officials and building owners. ASHRAE Standards 90.1-1989, 90.1-1999, and 90.1-2001 have been the benchmarks for commercial building energy codes in the United States and a key basis for standards in more than 15 countries around the world. The 2004 version of Standard 90.1 included significant changes from the previous versions, such as reducing the number of climate zones from 26 to 8, refining a number of HVAC provisions, improving stringency of lighting power requirements, and adding an appendix with new, more flexible rules when using 90.1 for LEED certification. This course presents an overview of the 2004 standard, the addenda that are added in the 2007 version, the Standard's requirements, and methods for compliance. In addition to the course manual, attendees receive a discount toward the purchase of Standard 90.1-2007 and the Standard 90.1 User's Manual.  The session will also dedicate a few hours on the 2010 version for future reference as there is no current date for adoption for this version.  The 2010 update of Standard 90.1 is a major revision with a goal of saving 30% more energy than the 2004 version. The 2010 version includes changes to Scope and Purpose along with other changes based on the 122 addenda that were considered.

Instructors

The instructors have been provided by ASHRAE's Professional Development department.

Joseph Deringer, AIA is the President of The Deringer Group, Inc. He has over 30 years' experience in the analysis and design of sustainable, energy-efficient buildings worldwide. His focus has been on energy codes, design assistance, training and the development of interactive design and training tools. As well, Joseph has over 20 years' involvement in developing energy codes for buildings. He's assisted 7 countries to develop a first-generation energy code -- Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Jamaica, Saudi Arabia, and the Ivory Coast, and is currently assisting 2 additional countries – Vietnam and Egypt. Joseph is the Chair of the Envelope Subcommittee for ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1. Joseph is active as an international energy and environmental consultant to the World Bank, UNDP, and USAID, including project experience in over a dozen countries in Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe.  Selected projects include: West Africa, Technical Assistance to Reduce the Global Production of Greenhouse Gases Via The Improved Energy Efficiency of Buildings (UNDP); Poland, Coal-to-Gas Conversion Project to Reduce Global Greenhouse Gases (World Bank); Poland, Development of a utility-based ESCO project in Krakow (World Bank); Study of Energy Efficiency Potentials in Commercial, Official, and Residential Sectors in Colombia (World Bank).

McHenry “Mack” Wallace, P.E. has been a mechanical contractor, consulting engineer, and a registered engineer in more than 40 states.  Mack has been the engineer of record for many award-winning projects, including the Historic Preservation of the Texas State Capitol Building. He is heavily involved on the front lines of the energy conservation industry, having served the past 12 years on the ASHRAE Standard 90.1. He also serves as the liaison between the mechanical and building envelope subcommittees, working with both committees to develop whole building approaches to energy savings and sustainable design.  Mack is a LEED AP and is active in LEED projects.  He has also served on the review team for the energy efficient buildings research projects supported by the Energy Research in Applications Program for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.  Mack’s interest in energy began before he graduated from college, when he designed and installed a solar water heater on a structure near the University.  This installation became the subject of an article in Houston Home and Garden Magazine; the first of many articles and papers he has authored.  His building system designs were cutting new ground in energy efficiency as he began to work with Utilities on energy programs.  He also worked on State buildings’ energy efficiency programs and utility demand-side management programs. His work includes modeling of facilities, identification of operational and equipment alternatives and life cycle costs covering payback, first cost and operating cost, and maintenance consideration on literally hundreds of facilities.   Mack has run his own consulting business and been a partner in Smith, Duncan and Associates and Carter-Burgess.  He is now director of Design Build Services for TXU Energy.
