ASHRAE GPC-20 (Guideline 20) is titled "Documenting HVAC&R Work Processes and Data Exchange Requirements." Its purpose is to define procedures for documenting work processes (Use Cases) and data exchange requirements for specific HVAC&R activities. For example, this guideline can be used by software designers to develop better software for HVAC engineers, energy modelers, and architects. This seminar provides an overview of the Guideline and how it can help HVAC practitioners improve their daily work-flow efficiency. It also describes a real-world example of how a use case is being used to improve HVAC load calculation work-flows.
