Seminar 49 -- Hands-On Demonstration: Automating Control Sequence Selection and Evaluation PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Properly designed and delivered control sequences are a key element for the delivery of high-performance commercial buildings. Unfortunately, this is hard to achieve using the current process. Work completed in ASHRAE Guideline 36 and being developed in the US DOE labs and in ASHRAE standard 231P, has the potential to offer dramatic improvements. This workshop will take participants through the tools and process being developed and demonstrate how they can be used from system concept through project delivery.
