Where would we be without refriger- Program Organizer ation? Did you know that the margarita is the most popular in Page 2 the world? In fact, in the United States alone, there are 180,000 margari- tas consumed every hour. Wow! That is 4,320,000 consumed Membership Update every day. Since a large percentage of those 4,320,000 margaritas con- sumed every day are frozen, we can see what a huge impact the invention Page 3 of the frozen margarita machine has had in our lives. I tip my hat to Mariano Martinez; restaurateur, entrepreneur, inventor of the frozen Student Activities margarita machine. Update Page 4 Mariano Martinez recognized early the popularity of the frozen mar- Tech Times garita. At his Dallas restaurant, Mariano’s Hacienda, the could not keep up with the demand Page 5-6 for frozen margaritas. The process of mixing the ingredients and blending and crushing ice in a was too slow and the product yield was not consistent. This caused problems with Mariano’s business as History of a Local Engi- customers didn’t want to wait for the delicious mixture and bartenders were not happy as they regularly burned up . neering Firm Page 7 Mariano’s “eureka” moment came one evening when he saw the “Slurpee Machine” at a local 7-11.

Not able to purchase a “Slurpee” Page 8 machine, Mariano found a used soft serve ice cream machine and started modifying it until it yielded the consistency he desired. His Noteworthy first prototype was complete and served him well for decades. Page 9-16 It is interesting that Mariano never patented his invention. He has Annual Budget said that he was never interested in making machines, just taking care of his restaurant.

Directly to That Page ASHRAE/IES Publish 2013 Energy Standard: Changes for Envelope, Lighting, Mechanical Sections

Message From the ATLANTA – Major changes to requirements regarding building envelope, lighting, mechanical and the energy cost budget are contained in the newly published energy standard from ASHRAE and IES. President Page 1 ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2013, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, incorporates 110 addenda, reflecting changes made through the public review process. Appendix F gives brief descriptions and publication dates of the addenda to 90.1-2010 reflected in this new edition. Program Organizer Page 2 “While many things have changed since the first version of Standard 90 was published in 1975, the need to reduce building energy use and cost has not,” Steve Skalko, chair of the committee that wrote the 2013 standard, said. “This standard represents many advances over the 2010 standard, as we worked toward our goal of making the standard 40 to 50 percent more stringent than the Membership Update 2004 standard.”

Page 3 “Achieving the stringency goals established for the 2013 standard presented a challenge in reducing the requirements for lighting,” Rita Harrold, director of technology for the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, said. “While interior lighting power densities (LPD) were re-evaluated and most lowered, there continues to be an ongoing concern about maintaining quality of lighting Student Activities installations for occupant satisfaction and comfort while achieving energy savings. The focus in the 2013 standard, therefore, was Update not just on lowering LPDs but on finding ways to achieve savings by adding more controls and daylighting requirements as well as including lighting limits for exterior applications based on jurisdictional zoning.” Page 4 The most significant changes are: Tech Times  Building Envelope. Opaque elements and fenestration requirements have been revised to increase stringency while Page 5-6 maintaining a reasonable level of cost-effectiveness. Opaque and fenestration assemblies in Tables 5.5-1 through 5.5-8 are revised in most climates. These changes include: o Criteria requiring double glazed fenestration in many climates History of a Local Engi- o Minimum visible transmittance/solar heat gain coefficient (VT/SHGC) ratio to enable good daylighting with neering Firm minimum solar gain, while not restricting triple- and quadruple-glazing. o Page 7 Simplification of the skylighting criteria.

 Lighting: These changes include improvements to daylighting and daylighting controls, space-by-space lighting power Refrigeration History density limits, thresholds for toplighting and revised controls requirements and format.  Mechanical: Equipment efficiencies are increased for heat pumps, packaged terminal air conditioners, single package Page 8 vertical heat pumps and air conditioners evaporative condensers. Also, fan efficiency requirements are introduced for the first time. Additional provisions address commercial refrigeration equipment, improved controls on heat rejection and boiler equipment, requirements for expanded use of energy recovery, small motor efficiencies and fan power control and Noteworthy credits. Control revision requirements have been added to the standard such as direct digital controls in many Page 9-16 applications. Finally, the 2013 edition completes the work that was begun on equipment efficiencies for chillers in the 2010 edition.  Energy Cost Budget (ECB) & Modeling: Improvements were made to the ECB and Appendix G provisions to clarify the Annual Budget use of the prescriptive provisions when performing building energy use modeling. In addition, these sections were revised to enhance capturing daylighting when doing the modeling calculations. Page 17 Another important change for the 2013 standard is the first alternate compliance path in Chapter 6. Section 6.6 was added to the 2010 edition to provide a location for alternate methods of compliance with the standard. The first such alternate path has been BOG Contact developed for computer room systems and was formulated with the assistance of ASHRAE technical committee 9.9, Mission Critical Information Facilities, Data Centers, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment. This path uses the Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric established by the datacom industry. This alternate efficiency path format provides a framework that could be considered for Page 18 other energy using facets of buildings not easily covered in the prescriptive provisions of the standard.

Also new to the standard are requirements for operating escalators and moving walkways at minimum speed per ASME A17.1 when Meeting & Event Flyers not conveying passengers.

Message From the ATLANTA – The 2013 version of ASHRAE’s indoor air quality standard contains several revisions to help users better meet its President requirements.

Page 1 Newly published, ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2013, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality, sets minimum ventilation rates and other requirements for commercial and institutional buildings. Program Organizer The 2013 standard combines the 2010 standard and 10 published addenda to that edition, providing an easy-to-use consolidated Page 2 standard. Specific information on the contents of each addendum and approval dates for each addendum are included in Informative Appendix J at the end of the standard. Membership Update “The 2013 version of Standard 62.1 continues the trend of increasing clarity while adding flexibility,” Roger Hedrick, Standard 62.1 Page 3 committee chair, said. “These changes will allow designers and building operators to meet the requirements of the standard and provide adequate ventilation airflow to occupants while reducing excess ventilation and the associated energy consumption. “ Student Activities The 2013 edition of the standard revises and improves the standard in several ways. A number of changes remove inconsistencies Update within the standard and improve clarity. Significant changes include: Page 4  Table 6-2, Zone Air Distribution Effectiveness is modified to increase the ventilation effectiveness of underfloor air distribution systems that meet certain conditions. Tech Times  Requirements for the quality of water used in humidification systems are modified and clarified. Page 5-6  Building level pressurization requirements were clarified, including adding a definition of “exfiltration.”  A performance alternative to the prescriptive exhaust rates is added. This approach differs from the Indoor Air Quality Procedure, the existing performance-based method for setting supply ventilation rates, in that monitoring of the History of a Local Engi- concentrations of contaminants of concern is required and provides the basis for control of exhaust flow rates. neering Firm  Some changes to the ventilation rates and space types in Table 6-1 are made. These add refrigerated warehouses and Page 7 change the ventilation rate for sports related spaces to include a per occupant component which then allows the use of demand controlled ventilation in these spaces.  The filtration requirement on air entering wetted cooling coils has been modified to change the MERV rating from 6 to 8. Refrigeration History This change will reduce potential for particulate deposition on the coils that could lead to biological or other contamination on the coils. Page 8  Toilet exhaust air that is cleaned to Class 1 may be recirculated.

Message From the ATLANTA – Disclosure requirements and transparency through programs such as fuel efficiency in automobiles and calorie labeling President in restaurants have been shown to shift producer and consumer behavior.

Page 1 The same principles are also being applied to building energy use, where energy use reporting and open data impact market behavior and drive energy efficiency. The implications of the growing trend in disclosure policies are examined in a free session Program Organizer offered by ASHRAE at the 2014 AHR Expo. Page 2 ASHRAE’s 2014 Winter Conference takes place Jan. 18-22, 2014, New York City, N.Y. Held in conjunction with the 2014 Winter Conference is the International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition, Jan. 21-23, 2014. Membership Update ASHRAE’s AHR Expo Session, “Trends in Building Energy Disclosure: Increasing Energy Efficiency without Retrofits,” takes place Page 3 from 3-4 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 21, in the South Concourse, second level. No badge or ticked required. Attendees will earn 1 NY PDH, 1 AIA Learning Unit and 1 LEED AP credit. Student Activities Energy disclosure requirements, now required in seven U.S. cities and numerous European Union countries, require periodic Update reporting of energy consumption for certain buildings. Page 4 “The speakers will tackle the issue of building energy use on the large scale and what major cities are doing about it,” Mike Eardley, P.E., seminar chair, said. “A cost effective solution is not major construction and new efficient equipment, but tuning up existing Tech Times HVAC&R systems and verifying they are operating correctly. Occupant behavior also has a major impact. Attendees will learn the energy penalties associated with these issues. We also will discuss how city level energy disclosure requirements take a necessary Page 5-6 first step in communicating energy use information in buildings so that corrective action can be taken.”

History of a Local Engi- The seminar presents a new energy benchmarking model to support comparative energy performance evaluation across neering Firm commercial buildings.

Page 7 The study analyzes patterns of energy consumption across New York City buildings and models the determinants of building energy efficiency to establish a robust model for normalization across multiple characteristics. Energy efficiency has traditionally been achieved through physical retrofits. An alternative approach is presented that harnesses data from smart meters in an eco-informatic Refrigeration History system and provides feedback to building occupants on their energy consumption. Page 8 Eardley said use of eco-informatic/eco-feedback systems offer a mechanism to close the feedback loop between occupants and energy consumption. Reductions of 5 to 15 percent have been noted with such systems. Noteworthy Page 9-16 “Most importantly, the use of such systems has been shown to be extremely cost effective in comparison with other energy efficiency initiatives,” he said.
