  • 2nd Public Review ISC of BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Addendum be to ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2017, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings This ISC modifies the first public review draft to provide clarity to the indoor lighting quality occupancy requirement.
  • 2nd Public Review ISC of BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Addendum bf to ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2017, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings This ISC modifies the first public review draft to address public review comments about Section 8.3.1.10 (Preoccupancy Ventilation Control) language that was considered ambiguous.
  • 2nd Public Review ISC of BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Addendum bg to ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2017, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings This ISC modifies the first public review draft, which included ASHRAE 62.1-2019 updates, to make additional improvements as identified during public review.
  • 2nd Public Review ISC of BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Addendum bn to ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2017, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings This ISC modifies the first public review draft to clarify which types of air cleaning devices are subject to the ozone emission requirements in Section 8.3.1.3.
  • 1st Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Addendum bt to ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2017, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings Addendum bt to 189.1-2017 modifies Section 7.4.3.9 to align occupancy sensor maximum time delay requirements in hotel/motel guest rooms with similar requirements in ASHRAE 90.1. The proposal reduces the current time delay from 30 to 20 minutes which will result in energy savings from decreased use of HVAC systems and lighting.

Standard 90.1 recently replaced the terms “energy recovery effectiveness” and “sensible heat recovery effectiveness” with “enthalpy recovery ratio” and “sensible energy recovery ratio,” respectively, and the same change is now proposed for 189.1.

45-day Public Review: June 5, 2020 – July 20, 2020

  • 1st Public Review of BSR/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Addendum bs to ANSI/ASHRAE/ICC/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2017, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings Addendum bs to 189.1-2017 provides corrections to the current standard and its published addenda by re-formatting defined terms to be italicized and, where necessary, adjusting text to match defined terms if that was the original intent.
