Technical Topic
ASHRAE’s Vision 2020 report called for the initiation of a building labeling program to provide information on the energy efficiency to owners and tenants of those buildings. To implement this recommendation ASHRAE has launched a Building Energy Labeling program that was initially approved by the Board in June, 2008 at the Salt Lake City meeting. Some key elements of the plan are that ASHRAE will initially partner with the U.S. EPA’s Energy Star program for buildings to gain a quick start for the program and to avoid market confusion in labeling. ASHRAE will also work with EPA to help strengthen the Energy Star requirements while producing a labeling program that works globally as well. The presenter served as the chair of the committee that developed the recommendations for the Building Energy Labeling program
