NRMCA staff attended the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 2024 Winter Conference and AHR Expo January 18 - 24 in Chicago. Darryl Dixon, director, energy codes and standards; Julian Mills-Beale, director, codes and standards; and Tiffany Reed-Villarreal, director, sustainability codes and standards, participated in ASHRAE Project Committee meetings on energy standards for sites/buildings and for the design of high-performance green buildings. Provisions for opaque envelope assemblies, thermal bridging in the clear field, energy credits, air leakage, wall reflectance and net zero operational carbon were among the specific topics addressed in the meetings.
ASHRAE Project Committees (PCs) develop new standards and guidelines and revise current ones so that they reflect technical advances in the areas they cover. NRMCA's attendance at the conference and expo ensures that energy efficient and sustainable concrete solutions receive consideration in these industry standards.
