| 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. |
