NRMCA sent representation to the 2024 ASHRAE Interim Fall Meetings held October 15 - 18) in Atlanta. Darryl Dixon, director, energy codes and standards, participated in ASHRAE Project Committee meetings on energy standards for sites/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, Dixon said.
ASHRAE Project Committees (PCs) continually develop new standards and guidelines, and revise current ones so that they reflect technical advances in the areas they cover. NRMCA tries to ensure that energy efficient and sustainable concrete solutions receive consideration in these industry standards.
