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:
- Applications
- Data-Driven
Modeling
- Simulation
and Component Models
- Research
- Handbook
- Program
- Standards
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 140-2004: Standard
Method of Test for the Evaluation of Building Energy Analysis
Computer Programs.
·
Addenda can be downloaded at the following
link: Standard 140-2004: Addenda a & b (zip)
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
