4 6.4 - ASHRAE Comment Database: Mr. Ferguson reported that ASRHAE has test run their on line comment database with SSPC 135, and have chosen SSPC 90.1 as the next SSPC to begin this processing of comments. Expect that in 2009 most if not all SSPC s will have an on line comment data base ICC Code Hearings: Mr. Ferguson reviewed the code change proposals that were of interest to SSPC 90.2, the actions taken on the ICC proposals, and what he is doing to prepare for the 2008 final action hearings to be held in September No action by SSPC 90.2 necessary. 6.6 NFPA Code Development: Mr. Fraser announced that Standard was accepted into NFPA 5000 and 900. Next target is to complete Standard and submit to NFPA for their code cycle. 6.7 NAHB Green Standard: Mr. Drumheller provided a brief outline of the recently completed NAHB Green Standard. This document is due to be available to the general public during the summer of Advanced Energy Design Guide: Mr. Humble reviewed SSPC 90.2 past activity to request if ASRHAE would produce an AEDG for residential construction, and the results of that request. Mr. Stamatopoulos provided an outline of questions for SSPC 90.2 consideration if the SSPC were to consider development of an Advanced Energy Design Guide for low-rise residential construction. Discussion: Need more accurate construction cost data to support such a project in order to for AEDG to be meaningful. Who is target audience? Why not use the existing optimization spread sheet to process such a document? Committee should be aggressive in achieving substantial energy savings. Which document is going to be cost effective? (Standard 90.2 or AEDG) What scenarios are to be used to determine what is better? Need to develop criteria and to evaluate energy savings. Question of sensitivity and usability. Where does SSPC 90.2 get funding to complete such a project? Scoping issues between single family and multi-family? 7.0 Title Purpose and Scope: Ms. VanGeem provided the attendees with a copy of a proposal to modify the Standard 90.2 title, purpose and scope in preparation for Following a discussion the members modified the proposal (See Appendix A).
