The purpose of this analysis is to examine the cost-effectiveness of the 2016 edition of ANSI/ASHRAE/IES2 Standard 90.1(ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 2016). PNNL analyzed the cost-effectiveness of changes in Standard 90.1-2016, compared to the previous 90.1-2013 edition, as applied in commercial buildings across the United States.

The purpose of this analysis is to examine the cost-effectiveness of the 2013 edition of ANSI/ASHRAE/IES1 Standard 90.1 (ANSI/ASHRAE/IES 2013). PNNL analyzed the cost-effectiveness of changes in Standard 90.1 from 90.1-2010 to 90.1-2013, as applied in commercial buildings for each state in the United States.

The commercial IECC prototype building models were developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in support of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Building Energy Codes Program. These prototype buildings were derived from DOE's Commercial Reference Building Models. The prototype models include 16 building types in 19 climate locations for for recent editions of the IECC. Also included is a scorecard for each prototype building. The scorecard is a spreadsheet that summarizes the building descriptions, thermal zone internal loads, schedules and other key modeling input information.

This guide provides an aid that will make it easier to apply the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) control requirements found in building energy codes and addresses requirements defined by 2009 and 2012 editions of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007 and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010.

This calculator can be used to develop a custom set of Building Performance Factors (BPFs) for use with the Performance Rating Method of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2016 though 2022 when approved by the Authority Having Jurisdiction or Rating Authority. BPFs are calculated using metrics of energy cost, site energy, source energy, and greenhouse gas emissions following  the approach described in ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2022 Informative Appendix I. The BPF values published in ASHRAE Standard 90.1 use energy cost, source energy and GHG emissions factors that are based on representative national average values. Jurisdictions can use this tool to better align BPF values with local values. Where a jurisdiction requires the use of hourly or other time of use data to calculate energy costs, emissions or source energy, calculate and enter values representing the annual blended or annual average values.

In addition to calculating BPFs analogous to those published in the various editions of the standard, the tool also calculates alternative BPFs using an updated approach described in he PNNL Technical Support Document titled, "​Commercial Building Prototypes Based on ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2019 Appendix G PRM". The intent is that a jurisdiction or rating authority may choose to adopt BPFs using the updated approach, as the authors believe these to be more technically sound.
