US House of Representatives Passes Bipartisan Legislation to Improve Workforce Preparedness

Earlier this week, the US House of Representatives passed by an overwhelming vote of 405 to 5, the bipartisan Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (H.R.5587), which would reauthorize the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act through Fiscal Year 2022, and provide increased support for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.

“ASHRAE commends members of the US House of Representatives for passing this bipartisan bill that would modernize career and technical education and provide renewed strength that will prepare students for in-demand careers,” said ASHRAE President Tim Wentz in the Society's press release. “We strongly encourage the Senate to build on these efforts and take bold action to provide further support for STEM education. Such action would help meet the workforce pipeline need for an estimated 115,000 new HVACR technicians by 2022, which will be created through growth and retirements.”

While the outlook remains uncertain, it appears unlikely that the Senate will act this year on similar legislation, which means that discussions will continue into the next Congress.

ASHRAE is a member of the HVACR Workforce Development Foundation, which is dedicated to leading an industry effort to develop and promote educational projects, programs, and partnerships

to attract committed and skilled employees to a career in HVACR. More information on the Foundation can be found at www.careersinhvacr.org.

EPA Acting Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation Speaks on the Federal Government’s Role in Indoor Air Quality at IAQ 2016 Conference

The activities of the Federal government regarding IAQ can be challenging to parse, yet they are important to understand. Helping to improve this situation, Janet McCabe, the US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Acting Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation, recently joined Cole Stanton of the Indoor Air Quality Association, and Mark Ames of ASHRAE to discuss how Congress, the Federal government, and States endeavor to improve indoor air quality at the IAQ 2016 Conference in Alexandria, Virginia. In the near future this panel discussion, along with others from the conference will be available online.

Deadline Extended for Comments on Design Details for EPA’s Clean Energy Incentive Program

Those that wish to submit comments on the proposed design details for EPA’s Clean Energy Incentive Program (CEIP) now have until November 1, 2016, according to a recent Federal Register notice.

DOE Issues Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Consumer and Commercial Water Heaters

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR) that would update its methodology for developing the conversations for consumer and commercial water heaters. The SNOPR also proposes to express energy conservation standards with a new uniform energy factor (UEF) metric. Over the past several years, DOE has adopted the efficiency levels for water heaters in various editions of Standard 90.1, with the latest such action taking place on July 17, 2015, when DOE adopted the thermal efficiency level for oil-fired storage water heaters in Standard 90.1-2013.

Comments are due no later than September 29, 2016. To view the full SNOPR in the Federal Register please click here.

Pre-Publication Supplemental Proposed Rulemaking Issued by DOE on Amended Energy Conservation Standards for Certain Residential Furnaces

Further changes are proposed to a forthcoming DOE regulation on energy conservation standards for certain residential gas furnaces, according to a SNOPR pre-publication notice by the Department on September 2 that is intended for promote further discussion.

DOE will hold a public meeting on this SNOPR in Washington, DC in the Department’s Forrestal Building (also available via webinar) on October 17, 2016 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. With this rulemaking, DOE is particularly interested in receiving feedback on the following:

1. DOE’s weighing of the benefits and burdens of the small NWGF product class approach and whether a cut-off of 60 kBtu/h (or other capacity) would be more appropriate than 55 kBtu/h, particularly in light of the consumer economic benefits of such a product class.

2. The technological feasibility of using BPM control relays to reduce the energy consumption of furnaces in standby/off mode. In particular, DOE seeks feedback regarding the energy savings benefits of this technology option, as well as potential impacts on the reliability and lifetime of furnace components

3. The appropriateness of treating standby and off mode energy consumption as equal. 4. Potential future furnace functions that would operate in standby/off mode, as well as the

energy consumption level of furnaces incorporating such functions in relation to the baseline standby/off mode energy consumption level used in the analyses for this SNOPR.

5. Furnace design changes which may be required in order to accommodate the implementation of LL-LTX as a technology option for reducing the energy consumption of furnaces in standby/off mode.

6. The technological feasibility of achieving the proposed standby/off mode max-tech efficiency level of 8.5 watts.

7. The anticipated percentage of NWGF models which could achieve the efficiency levels promulgated by the 2014 furnace fans rule via implementation of a constant-torque BPM motor paired with single-stage combustion, rather than being paired with two-stage combustion.

8. The MPCs and incremental MPCs developed for the AFUE efficiency levels analyzed in this SNOPR.

9. The electric furnace MPC estimates and methodology. 10. The installation costs for condensing NWGFs and MHGFs. Specifically, the estimated fraction

of houses that would see a large impact for installing a condensing furnace because of venting and/or condensate withdrawal issues.

11. The costs associated with modifying the existing vent systems and managing condensate withdrawal to accommodate condensing gas furnaces in multifamily buildings.

12. DOE’s approach for sizing furnace equipment. 13. DOE’s approach for furnace downsizing in the standards cases with a small furnace standard. 14. The reasonableness of its assumption to apply a decreasing trend to the manufacturer selling

price (in real dollars) of NWGFs and MHGFs, as well as any information that would support the use of alternative assumptions.

15. DOE’s approach for determining discount rates in the LCC analysis. 16. DOE’s approach for determining NWGF and MHGF lifetime distribution. 17. DOE’s current approach for calculating the fraction of NWGF consumers that would be

expected to switch to other products in the standards cases 18. The estimated market share of condensing NWGFs and MHGFs in 2022 in the absence of

amended AFUE energy conservation standards. 19. The estimated market share of NWGFs and MHGFs that are used at each standby efficiency

level in 2022 in the absence of amended energy conservation standards. 20. The methodology and data sources used for projecting the future shipments of NWGFs and

MHGFs in the absence of amended energy conservation standards. 21. The potential impacts on product shipments related to fuel and product switching.

22. The reasonableness of the value that DOE used to characterize the rebound effect with higher-efficiency NWGFs and MHGFs.

23. The approach for conducting the emissions analysis for NWGFs and MHGFs. 24. DOE’s approach for estimating monetary benefits associated with emissions reductions. 25. DOE seeks comments, information, and data on the capital conversion costs and product

conversion costs estimated for each AFUE standard TSL. 26. DOE requests comments on the identified regulations and their contribution to cumulative

regulatory burden. Additionally, DOE requests feedback on product-specific Federal regulations that take effect between 2017 and 2025 that were not listed, including identification of the specific regulations and data quantifying the associated burdens. (See section V.B.2.e) DOE seeks comments, information, and data on the number of small businesses in the industry, the names of those small businesses, and their role in the market. DOE also requests data on the market share of small manufacturers in the NWGF and MHGF markets and information on the conversion costs small manufacturers expect to invest.

27. DOE requests comment on the potential impacts of the proposed AFUE standards and standby mode and off mode standards on small manufacturers.

ASHRAE Congratulates U.S. House Members on Passage of Career and Technical Education Legislation

ATLANTA – Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives took a major step forward in overwhelmingly passing the bipartisan Strengthening Career and Technical Education for the 21st Century Act (H.R.5587), which would reauthorize the Carl D.

Data Center Standard Published by ASHRAE

ATLANTA – A newly published energy standard for data centers features a performance based approach that is more flexible and accommodating of innovative changes that rapidly occur in design, construction and operations in that industry.

ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 90.4-2016, Energy Standard for Data Centers,establishes the minimum energy efficiency requirements of data centers for design and construction, for creation of a plan for operation and maintenance and for utilization of on-site or off-site renewable energy resources.

“We worked very hard to craft this standard in a manner that does not stifle innovation in the data center industry while simultaneously offering criteria to help ensure energy savings,” Ron Jarnagin, chair of the 90.4 committee, said. “It is important to keep in mind that data centers are mission critical facilities where risk management is the primary concern.”

Jarnagin noted that high plug loads and rapidly advancing IT technology make data center applications significantly different from their commercial building counterparts. Standard 90.4 specifically addresses the unique energy requirements of data centers.

Standard 90.4 is a performance-based design standard that offers the design components for mechanical load (MLC) and electrical loss (ELC). Calculations of the MLC and ELC are made and then compared to the maximum allowable values shown in the standard based on climate zones. Compliance with Standard 90.4 is achieved when the calculated values do not exceed the values contained in the standard. An alternative compliance path is provided that allows tradeoffs between the MLC and ELC.

“The committee initially pursued a Green Grid power use effectiveness-like (PUE) process for setting the criteria in the standard but the Green Grid’s PUE metric is actually based on measured energy use data rather than design criteria calculations,” Jarnagin said. “We realized that the design calculations contained in Standard 90.4 would not likely match up with the actual energy use data so this approach was amended. We feel that we’ve recommended the requirements for 90.4 based on a justifiable 80/20 rule where only the lower performing systems will be affected.”

The Standards Committee, which has oversight of all ASHRAE standards, will work together with the chairs of Standard 90.4 and ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, to remove data centers from Standard 90.1. Standard 90.4 already refers users to Standard 90.1 for requirements on lighting, service water heating and the building envelope.

Other requirements in Standard 90.4 include:

A sample compliance checklist Diagrams to illustrate compliance Sample calculations

Jarnagin noted that industry input is vital as the standard moves forward. The standard now is under a continuous maintenance process that allows changes to the standard to be made on a continuous basis through the mechanism of addenda to the standard. This process will allow for frequent changes to the standard as needed to keep pace with the rapidly changing technologies in the industry, he said.

The cost of is Standard 90.4-2016, Energy Standard for Data Centers, is $89, ASHRAE members ($105, non-members). To order, visitwww.ashrae.org/bookstore or contact ASHRAE Customer Contact Center at 1-800-527-4723 (United States and Canada) or 404-636-8400 (worldwide) or fax 678-539-2129.

New courses include Cogeneration from the Basics through Construction and Operation, Complying with Standard 90.1-2016, Complying with the Requirements of Standard 62.1-2016, New ASHRAE-Classified Refrigerants to Meet Society’s Changing Needs, Variable Refrigerant Flow System Design and Application, Complying with Standard 90.1-2016 Appendix G, and Design of Affordable and Efficient Ground Source Heat Pumps.

Additionally, ASHRAE is offering two administrations of its six certification program exams, including its new Building Commissioning Professional (BCxP) certification developed with the goal of achieving U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recognition by summer 2017. The other certifications are the ANSI-accredited Building Energy Assessment Professional (BEAP), Building Energy Modeling Professional (BEMP) and High-Performance Building Design Professional (HBDP) as well as the Healthcare Facility Design Professional (HFDP), and Operations & Performance Management Professional (OPMP).

The keynote speaker at the opening Plenary Session is Adam Steltzner, team lead and chief engineer for NASA’s Mars Rover, Curiosity. For 10 years, Steltzner led a team of engineers inventing, designing and testing the revolutionary “sky crane” landing system that successfully placed the over on the Martian surface in 2012. Five times heavier than its predecessors, Curiosity required an entirely new landing system for the 7-minute phase when the one-ton rover—entering Martian atmosphere at 13,000 mph—must stop fully on the surface. To inspire attendees, Steltzner discusses the power of human curiosity and the importance of fostering a culture of collaborative innovation.

ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is a global society advancing human well-being through sustainable technology for the built environment. The Society and its more than 56,000 members worldwide focus on building systems, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, refrigeration and sustainability. Through research, standards writing, publishing, certification and continuing education, ASHRAE shapes tomorrow’s built environment today. More information can be found at www.ashrae.org/news.
