Full Description

This article describes basic, intermediate and advanced performance protocols for energy, water, thermal comfort, IAQ, lighting and acoustics as outlined in the ASHRAE book, Performance Measurement Protocols for Commercial Buildings. This is important because the basis for claims such as green, low energy or high performances are not always supported, and the industry needs to protect the green or high performance brand.
