Technical Committee (TC) 4.7
Energy
Calculations Survey
"Accurate
energy models at every engineer's fingertips."
|
ASHRAE Technical Committee
(TC) 4.7, Energy Calculations, is evaluating the results of its research
to guide future activities. As part of our evaluation, we would
like to know how the results of our past research projects have contributed
to the HVAC and building communities. Eighteen research projects have been
sponsored (or co-sponsored) by TC 4.7 since 1990. Twelve of the projects
are complete and publications ranging from technical papers to software
toolkits have been published by ASHRAE.
Results of the survey will be presented at the next TC 4.7 meeting during the
ASHRAE Annual Meeting in Cincinnati. The evaluation report will be forwarded
to ASHRAE Society-level committees for their consideration in future research
policy and funding decisions.
Your input is very important. Please take a few minutes to respond to the
following questions. Links to abstracts of papers from the research projects
are provided for your reference.
This survey is not sponsored by ASHRAE headquarters.
If you have any questions
or need further information, please contact Vern Smith at 303-444-4149 or by email vsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
