Peer Reviews • Peer reviews provided primarily by committees/individuals from participating organizations • Around 100 reviewers actively participated • Concept review stage (50%) • Technical refinement review stage (80%) • Final review stage (100%) ASHRAE Winter Meeting, Orlando, Fla.
Committee Chairman’s Sidebar on Schedules • Make sure you really understand what the timeline is for your project (get it down in writing) • Ask for a definition of the key terms, like “what does a year mean?” • Learn to appreciate the wisdom of President Clinton’s famous question in the middle of the Lewinsky affair, “define sex?” ASHRAE Winter Meeting, Orlando, Fla.
Development Challenges/Issues • Keeping everyone focused through 11 meetings during the year • Plug loads – in or out? • Keeping criteria on single page • Keeping document within page limit • Keeping this “simple” • Possible problems reaching 30% savings consistently in all locations • Trying to work with very different styles • Keeping all constituencies informed ASHRAE Winter Meeting, Orlando, Fla.
Did We Do It? You Bet! • Next up in the 30% series are retail and highway lodging • Working on plans for 50% and 70% series guides • Expanded ASHRAE involvement in LEED programs is underway • Guide on sale at 2005 Winter Meeting in Orlando ASHRAE Winter Meeting, Orlando, Fla.
