This report summarizes code requirements and energy savings for commercial buildings in climate zone 2B built to the 2009 IECC and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007.

We encourage you to add your feature requests to our Idea Station page.ĪSHRAE 90.1-2010 for efficiency. American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 90.1: Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings and the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) are the major energy design standards for new buildings in the United States. Longer term we plan on implementing ways for you to make your own edits to various parameter settings.
We don't have plans at this time for pre-set code Standard inputs for you to select from. If other parameters necessary for the energy simulation are not defined in your model, we provide intelligent default based upon other industry recognized references. Strictly speaking, the benchmark result is not the Appendix G reference model (for example we don’t do an average calculations for the four orientations), but other parameters used for the benchmark analysis are based upon your proposed model. We use ASHRAE 90.1 minimum efficiency settings for HVAC efficiency (assuming an HVAC system type based upon ASHRAE 90.1 building size and height categories), envelope thermal properties for your project location’s ASHRAE Climate Zone, and lighting power density for your project’s building type. The ASHRAE 90.1 Benchmark is based upon the 2010 Standards.
