On Tuesday April 28, the Triangle chapter's Membership Promotion chair Chris Silcott traveled to Greenville, NC to visit the Student Chapter of ASHRAE at East Carolina University. While at ECU, Chris teamed up with the ECU chapter's advisor Tarek Abdel-Salam and University Steam Plant supervisors Royce Thigpen and Neal Thorne to lead a tour of the ECU steam plant.
The objective of the tour was for the students to gain hands-on knowledge of the required processes for steam generation and distribution. The tour consisted of a 45 minute presentation on the basics of steam generation and watertube boilers, followed by a walkthrough of the plant. While touring the plant, the students were able to witness watertube boilers in operation and view the furnace of a 40,000 PPH industrial watertube boiler. Also while touring the plant, Chris explained the condensate recovery, deaeration, and air preheating processes in the plant.

ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2007, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, provides minimum requirements for the energy-efficient design of buildings except low-rise residential buildings.
Among the proposed addenda out for public review is addendum aq, which proposes changes to the purpose and scope of the standard. The proposed modification addresses applications not covered in the existing standard scope, such as requirements for laboratories, data center cooling and kitchen exhausts. It would also permit the 90.1 committee to address technologies, such as computer equipment and refrigerated casework, and would extend existing requirements for envelope, space cooling and lighting to a larger group of spaces where energy is consumed.
Standard 90.1 currently addresses design and construction of buildings. The proposed addendum would add operation and maintenance, which allows incorporation of industry standards such as ASHRAE/ACCA Standard 180-2008, Standard Practice for Inspection and Maintenance of Commercial Building HVAC Systems.
The addendum also incorporates utilization of on-site, renewable energy resources.
The proposed addenda to ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1 are available during their public review period. To read the addenda or to comment, visit
www.ashrae.org/publicreviews. Proposed addendum aq is open for public review until Feb. 2. Four other proposed addenda – ar, as, au and av – are open for review until Jan. 19, while a fifth addenda, at, is open until Jan. 4. – Changes to the purpose and scope of ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1 as well as new lighting requirements are being proposed through public review.
