Program provides a quick energy analysis for building performance
ATLANTA (Dec. 13, 2017) – ASHRAE announced the recent launch of
the Building Energy Quotient (Building EQ) Portal, which provides a
faster, more automated approach to receive a Building EQ Performance
Score.
Building EQ rests on ASHRAE methodologies and standards and the
experience of credentialed practitioners. These characteristics assure
owners they are receiving reliable and consistent results and
recommendations.
Two different evaluations – In Operation and As Designed – can be used
independently to compare a candidate building to other similar
buildings in the same climate zone or together for an assessment of a
building's design potential compared to actual operation. In Operation
compares actual building energy use based on metered energy
information. As Designed compares potential energy use based on the
building's physical characteristics and systems with standardized
energy use simulation. The In Operation rating is available now and the
As Designed rating will be available in early 2018.
Building EQ In Operation rating assists in the preparation of an ASHRAE
Level 1 Energy Audit to identify means to improve a building's energy
performance including low-cost, no-cost energy efficiency measures and
an Indoor Environmental Quality survey with recorded measurements to
provide additional information to assess a building's performance.
Metered energy data can now be downloaded into the Building EQ Portal
from the ENERGY STAR™ Portfolio Manager. Other features include an
Online Data Entry and submission process, Median EUI calculation
aligned with ENERGY STARŪ and an improved submission approval process.
The portal delivers the following items:
