PUBLIC REVIEWCALL FOR COMMENTS 1st Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE/IES Addendum
bh to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings This addendum modifies the Lighting Power Density tables to make them consistent with the new IES lighting Handbook. In addition, some new occupancy spaces have been added to the table.

bi to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings This addendum harmonizes the minimum energy efficiencies of 3-phase air-cooled commercial air conditioners and heat pumps less than 65,000 Btu/h with the efficiencies adopted by DOE for residential central air conditioners.
2nd Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE/IES Addendum ac to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings The modifications to the standard intend to clarify when the airspace R-values can be used. The criterion was taken from the original research (Housing Research Paper No. 32) which was the source of the Handbook of Fundamentals table.
1st Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE/IES Addendum
bj to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings
This addendum re-establishes the product class for small duct high velocity air conditioners and heat pumps. The minimum energy efficiency levels proposed are 11 SEER for air conditioners and 11 SEER/6.8 HSPF for heat pumps which are identical to the efficiencies established by DOE 1st Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE/IES Addendum for single-phase residential SDHV products. bg to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential 1st Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE/IES Addendum Buildings bk to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential This addendum updates the exception related to storm winBuildings dows under envelope alterations.

Analyses indicate that east and west facing fenestration increases building energy consumption compared to north and south facing glazing in all climates.

bx to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings The purpose of this proposal is to remove confusion about how the exceptions to the occupancy sensor requirement work and to eliminate one of those exceptions since technology changes make that exception no longer needed.

1st Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE/IES Addendum
br to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 90.1-2010, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings This addendum updates the motor definitions in Chapter 3 and the motor efficiency tables in Chapter 10 to make sure that end-users and code officials have the most updated information. In addition, the efficiency requirements for motors that were produced before December 19, 2010, have been removed, since they are no longer allowed to be manufactured in or imported into the Unites States.
