The
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) is working toward a building energy labeling
program -- the Buliding EQ label.For years, ASHRAE has sought ways to help move the nation's building stock toward net-zero-energy use.
The new Building Energy Quotient program seeks the answers to that question with metrics for measuring both the energy the building is designed to use and the energy actually being consumed. The ASHRAE program is being designed to close the gaps between intention and operation.
