2:00 PM to 5:00 PM EDT - Online ASHRAE Instructors-led Course
Course Summary
ASHRAE Guideline 36, High-Performance Sequences of Operation for HVAC Systems, was created to develop and maintain best-in-class standardized HVAC control sequences. This guideline is all about the concept of “less is more.” It allows engineers to reduce engineering time by adapting standard sequences already proven to perform. It minimizes programming and commissioning time for contractors. ASHRAE Guideline 36 reduces energy consumption, cost, and system downtime with more resilient systems, control sequence compliance, and diagnostic software. The guideline also promotes communication between specifiers, contractors, and operators by creating a language of common terms.
This course introduces the current version of ASHRAE Guideline 36. The discussion will include the research underlying the current sequences and ongoing and planned future research intended to develop additional advanced sequences for other HVAC system types. In this course, attendees will learn about the ASHRAE Guideline 36 sequences and how they improve energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality. Attendees will also learn how to specify sequences for this guideline.
Instructor
Hawking Cheng, Member ASHRAE
Hwakong Cheng, Member ASHRAE is a Principal at Taylor Engineers, where he has been responsible for HVAC design, commissioning, and energy analysis for over 15 years. He has applied his expertise in energy efficiency and indoor air quality to develop practical HVAC and control system solutions for new construction and for existing buildings. Mr. Cheng led a recently completed study funded by the California Energy Commission to demonstrate cost-effective control system upgrades based on ASHRAE Guideline 36 in commercial buildings. In addition to his work as a consulting engineer, Mr. Cheng is actively involved in applied research in controls-related topics and supporting industry outreach through teaching, publications, and codes and standards. He is a corresponding member of SGPC-36 and a licensed mechanical engineer in California and Washington.
