The Committee sponsors Research Projects,
which are a way to further knowledge in our field.
We
provide valuable assistance in the writing and revision of
Chapter 31 'Energy Estimating and Modeling Methods' of the ASHRAE
Fundamentals
Handbook.
We
often sponsor one or more Symposia, Seminars, or Forums at the
Society National Meetings. This is a good opportunity to let
others know what TC 4.7 is doing.
Finally,
we are also involved with the writing and revision of 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.
Most
of the work for the TC takes place during the subcommittee meetings,
so please attend those meetings to get involved in the activities
of the committee.
