ASHRAE Technical Committee 4.7 - Energy Calculations

Activities

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.
