ASHRAE Standard 189.1 sets the benchmark for high-performance green building design. While earlier standards focus on energy efficiency, ASHRAE 189.1 features a comprehensive approach that includes building location, reduced water usage, sustainable building materials, and indoor environmental quality ( ).
Unlike voluntary green certification programs, Standard 189.1 is written in mandatory, enforcement-ready code language. This makes it easy for local jurisdictions to adopt directly into law or for companies to mandate the standard in contracts.
Learn the basics of Standard 189.1 from our ASHRAE Standards series, including the six key focus areas, ways to achieve the standard cost-effectively, and how energy recovery technology is critical for meeting IEQ requirements.
