    [4] The model code, IECC, and the standard, ASHRAE 90.1, apply to commercial buildings. [5] [4] [6] The IECC references several ASHRAE Standards, in particular, ASHRAE 90.1 for commercial building construction. [22] Being a part of the ICC’s collection of model codes, the IECC is revised annually and published in full-form every three years.

  3. Air changes per hour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_changes_per_hour

    Air changes per hour is a measurement intended to communicate the air change effectiveness of a space’s ventilation system. Discussion around the ASHRAE standard 62, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality led to the development of a more direct method of measuring air change effectiveness with the use of a tracer gas.

  4. ASHRAE 55 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASHRAE_55

    ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 55 provides a table of metabolic rate of different continuous activities. These values are valid for an average adult with surface skin area of 1.8 m 2 (19.6 ft 2). The standard reminds the users that they should use their own judgment to match the activities being considered to the comparable activities in the table.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

    Installed faced fiberglass batt insulation with its R-value visible (R-21) [1]. The R-value (in K⋅m 2 /W) is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier, such as a layer of insulation, a window or a complete wall or ceiling, resists the conductive [2] flow of heat, in the context of construction. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilation_(architecture)

    The 1989 ASHRAE standard (Standard 62–89) states that appropriate ventilation guidelines are 20 CFM (9.2 L/s) per person in an office building, and 15 CFM (7.1 L/s) per person for schools, while 2004 Standard 62.1-2004 has lower recommendations again (see tables below). ANSI/ASHRAE (Standard 62–89) speculated that "comfort (odor) criteria ...

    By comparison, thermal comfort standard ASHRAE 55 requires systems designed to control humidity to maintain a dew point of 16.8 °C (62.2 °F) though no lower humidity limit is established. [44] Water vapor is a lighter gas than other gaseous components of air at the same temperature, so humid air will tend to rise by natural convection. This ...

  9. List of refrigerants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_refrigerants

    According to ASHRAE standard 34, the R-number of a chemical refrigerant is assigned systematically according to its molecular structure and has between two and four digits. If there are carbon -carbon multiple bonds , there are four digits in all: the number of these bonds is the first digit and the number of carbon atoms minus one (C-1) is next.
