Topic: Building Energy Quotient Labeling Program
The ASHRAE Building Energy Labeling Program
Whether voluntary or mandatory, the rating of the energy use and indoor environmental quality of buildings is a growing trend worldwide. In 2009, ASHRAE introduced its own "Building Energy Quotient" (BEQ) labeling program for new and existing buildings and is now in the process of piloting it in a number of locations around the U.S. It is an ambitious program comprising not only the development of an energy use performance scale, but also tools and procedures for performing ratings and certification of the qualified energy modelers and building assessors needed to implement it. This presentation will provide an overview of the BEQ program, describe its relationship to other building certification programs in the US and elsewhere, identify the potential benefits of certification, and summarize the current state of implementation of the program and plans for the future.
Speaker:
Dr. William P. Bahnfleth, PhD, PE
