Both ASHRAE and NYSERDA have goals for carbon neutral energy code in less than 10 years, in support of global building decarbonization and New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. With the recent development and update in energy codes and guidelines (e.g. ASHRAE 90.1-2022, 2021 Internal Energy Conservation Code, ASHRAE Guideline 36-2021), controls-related requirements and best practices in HVAC, service water heating, and lighting have taken on an increasingly important role in driving today’s buildings to net zero energy. This seminar presents energy code requirements and best practices for building system controls from an engineer’s perspective.
