Technical Committee 4.7 - Energy Calculations
Home Page
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. TC 4.7 is
currently responsible for Chapter 31 'Energy Estimating and Modeling
Methods' of the ASHRAE Fundamentals
Handbook.
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 sub-committees (except
Handbook) 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..
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;
