Stephen Comstock AFTERWORD: BACKGROUND TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS GUIDE PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION by David L. Grumman, PE BACKGROUND ON THE ASHRAE GREENGUIDE’S DEVELOPMENT Comments heard by 1999/2000 ASHRAE President Jim Wolf, as he traveled around to chapters talking to grassroots members during his term were that ASHRAE was “missing the boat” in the “green” building design area. Many sister organizations had already published documents addressing this issue for their members. President-elect Bill Coad was assigned to follow up, and he requested TC 1.10 (Energy Resources) to form a subcommittee to develop a handbook or guide on green or sustainable building design, specifically for ASHRAE members. The effort was kicked off with a conference call of interested TC 1.10 members on November 20, 2000, organized by then-TC Chair Sheila Hayter. During that call, numerous ideas were expressed about what the publication should and should not be and what it should contain. A green guide subcommittee was set up under the chair- manship of TC 1.10 member David L. Grumman, with Sheila Hayter and Jordan Heiman being the other members. The subcommittee then set up several meetings at the January 2001 Atlanta Winter Meeting to discuss the direction such a green guide should take. As many interested ASHRAE members coming to Atlanta as could be identified in a short time frame were invited to attend the first meeting, held just prior to the regular TC meeting. As a result of that meeting and subsequent actions, a direction was established, a content outline prepared, and interested and qualified authors sought. As the authors’ contributions came in, they were placed into the outline format and the result edited by the subcommittee members. Difficulties were experienced in achieving consistency in the pieces submitted and in obtaining authors for areas initially not covered, which slowed the process. In addition, work by the authors and editors was all voluntary. WHAT THE ASHRAE GREENGUIDE IS AND IS NOT When the subcommittee started its work, it set forth some characteristics of what the guide was to be. One was that it have a well-defined purpose. That purpose, 357 unlike many treatises written on this subject, was to provide guidance on how to apply green design techniques, not necessarily to motivate the use of them. Much has been written on the need for green building design, and this aspect is covered briefly herein. The reader should assume that when the HVAC&R designer finds himself or herself in a situation where a green design is to be done, this guide will help answer the question: “What do I do now?” Other characteristics sought were that it be relevant to the target audience, useful and practical, concise and succinct, well organized and logical. Further, we wanted it to encourage team effort and to stimulate innovative ideas and independent thought. Finally, we wanted the reader to be able to find information easily (a good reference) and find the guide graphically pleasing to the eye. This guide should be regarded as the collected views and opinions of experts in the respective technical fields they are addressing. It is not a consensus document. It has not been widely reviewed and commented on, except by a limited group (primarily the authors and a review panel) and all members of the developing subcommittee and its technical committee and/or meeting attendees. One does not have to agree with everything written here for this guide to be helpful. WHO SHOULD USE THE ASHRAE GREENGUIDE The ASHRAE GreenGuide is primarily for HVAC&R designers. Architects, owners, building managers, operators, contractors, and others in the building indus- try, while perhaps finding certain areas of interest, are likely to find the guide less useful. Writing it for a specific audience keeps the document concise and focused. Nevertheless, from the design standpoint, the reader will see that considerable emphasis is placed on close coordination between parties and on teamwork. The guide is not intended to be “the last word” or “the complete reference” on green design for engineers—nor, for that matter, a design guide proper. Liberal use of references to other sources is included, especially for details. For instance, throughout the guide, numerous techniques, processes, measures, or special systems are described succinctly in a modified outline or bullet form—but always in the same format. These are called ASHRAE GreenTips. The purpose of these is to give the designer enough familiarity with the subject to enable him or her to determine whether it might be suitable for the project being worked on. Each GreenTip concludes with a listing of other sources that may be referenced for greater detail. That source could be another book, a magazine article, a research paper, an organi- zation, a Web site, or some other resource to which the designer could turn to seek more information on a subject that has promise of being applicable to the particular project at hand. Thus, there is a substantial bibliography included in this guide. Even though this guide is intended for HVAC&R designers, related engineering disciplines are not omitted. The areas of plumbing and water management are defi- nitely included (many HVAC&R types do plumbing design too). Also, because lighting systems have such a big impact on energy use, this subject is covered to the 358 extent of lighting’s impact on energy use and the building’s HVAC&R system. (The aesthetic aspects of lighting design would not be appropriate here, however, and are thus excluded.) Likewise, there are many architectural features that have a large impact on energy use, and the engineer—even though not usually the designer of those features—should be generally familiar with these impacts. A brief chapter on architectural impacts is thus included. This was intended to be a document that a design engineer, about to embark on a green building design project as part of a team, could pick up and immediately get ideas and guidance of what to do, where to turn, what to advise, and how to interact with other team members in a productive way. We want that engineer to be able to find information with ease on a subject of green-design relevance that may arise. (There is included a comprehensive index to seek out info on a given subject rapidly.) Finally, although this guide has many specific and practical suggestions and tips on achieving green design, a designer who just tries to incorporate as many of these as possible and does little else is not assured of success. Considerable stress is placed on coordinating efforts with other members of the project team and seeking mutually acceptable solutions to the green design challenge. It will take innovative and syner- gistic designs that cut across design disciplines to achieve true success. HOW TO USE THIS ASHRAE GREENGUIDE This document is intended to be used more as a reference than as something one would read in sequence from beginning to end. Depending on the needs and expe- rience level of the reader, there are portions that may warrant more attention than others; indeed, there may well be portions that certain readers might skip altogether. The following is intended to provide some helpful guidelines for using this docu- ment effectively. First, the table of contents is the best place for any reader to get an overall view of what is covered in this document. Next, all readers should take the time to read this preface and chapter 1, “Green Design, Sustainability and ‘Good’ Design,” because they cover the background and philosophy behind this effort and provide some essential definitions and meanings of key terms. Chapters 2 and 3, “Motivation” and “Background and Fundamentals,” respec- tively, might well be skipped by the more experienced designer/readers. The former covers the “why” of green design—those factors that drive owners to undertake such a project. The latter covers the background of the green design movement and what other organizations have done. The second part of chapter 3 then reviews some engi- neering fundamentals that govern the technical engineering aspects of green design. The reader may find this part intimidating—perhaps offering more than he or she wants to know. Thus, only the engineering designer who feels a need for a review of such technical fundamentals should undertake to read through it. (Of course, it is always there for later reference, as the need may dictate.) 359 The reader who is interested in how the green design process works, however, should read chapter 4, “The Design Process—Early Stages.” It covers such topics as creating a green design team, identifying the “players,” defining each of their roles, and outlining some green design processes that others have found to work. It is not until after this chapter that the reader gets into the components of what makes up green building design proper. The reader who wants to go directly to the practical things that can be done to implement a green design should start at chapter 5, “Architectural Design Impacts,” which covers how architectural features impact green design. The nitty-gritty engi- neering aspects, however, start at chapter 6 and run through chapter 13. This is where the reader will find virtually all the practical suggestions for possible incorporation in a green design, The ASHRAE GreenTips. (A listing of all GreenTips and their page numbers, for quick and easy reference, can be found in the table of contents.) Chapters 14 and 15 cover more aspects of the design process—including some of the analysis tools available. Again, these sections are probably better suited for occasional reference rather than “must” reading first time through. The remainder of the GreenGuide, Chapters 16–19, covers what happens after the project’s design is done—that is, during construction and after. There are some sound advice and helpful tips in that section, and the designer would be well served to be aware of the information contained therein early on in design. Thus, even though it covers a post-design time frame, reading that section should not be put off until construction begins. For quick and ready reference, the GreenGuide includes up front not only a list- ing (with page numbers) of GreenTips but also all figures, charts and sidebars—and then at the back end a comprehensive bibliography, which compiles all the sources mentioned throughout the guide (and then some)—and an index for rapid location of a particular subject of interest. 360 CONTENTS FOREWORD . . . . . . . . .
