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.
