The Green Standard Standard 189.1-2011, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings
What is Standard 189.1? • ANSI standard developed in model code language • Provides minimum requirements for high-performance, green buildings • Applies to all buildings except low-rise residential (same as ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1) • Optional compliance path to the International Green Construction Code • Not a design guide or a rating system
Standard 189.1 Provides • Mandatory criteria in all topic areas • Simple prescriptive compliance options • Flexible performance compliance options • Complement green building rating programs
Sponsors and Project Committee • Sponsor and co-sponsors: • ASHRAE • USGBC (U.S. Green Building Council) • IES (Illuminating Engineering Society) • Project committee: 35+ voting members; variety of disciplines, industries & organizations

Standard 189.1 Basic Structure x.1: Scope x.2: Compliance x.3: Mandatory (required for all projects) x.4: Prescriptive path(simple option, minimal choices, very few calculations) x.5: Performance path(more sophisticated, flexibility, but more effort)
Compliance Paths Mandatory Prescriptive Path + (simple option, very few calculations) Performance Path Mandatory + (more options, but more effort)
Sustainable Sites Highlights • Site Selection • Reduce heat island effect • Reduce light pollution
Water Use Efficiency Mandatory Provisions • Site water use • Building water use • HVAC Systems, equipment • Water consumption management
Energy Efficiency • Original Standard 189.1-2009 goal 30% lower than Standard 90.1-2007 INCLUDING PROCESS • Standard 189.1-2011 goal 5-15% lower than Standard 189.1-2009 • Appendix G from Standard 90.1 is incorporated as a Normative Appendix
Energy Efficiency Mandatory requirements • Renewable energy provisions • Remote or automatic reading meters criteria based on size • Meters communicate to central recording system • Data storage for minimum 36 months
Indoor Environmental Quality Highlights • Outdoor airflow • Tobacco smoke control • Outdoor air monitoring • Filtration and air cleaning • Daylighting • Thermal comfort • Acoustics
Building’s Impact on Atmosphere, Materials and Resources Mandatory: • Construction waste management • No CFC based refrigerants • Recyclables storage areas
Construction and Operation Highlights • Building acceptance testing/commissioning • IAQ construction management plan • Plans for operation • High performance building operation • Maintenance • Service Life • Transportation Management
Why Consider Adopting Standard 189.1? • Minimum green building requirements developed using ANSI consensus process with balanced committee, consensus must be reached by materially affected parties • ASHRAE and USGBC offers training to code officials on detailed requirements of standard
