Guideline 36 is intended to maximize energy efficiency, building performance, and control stability while enabling simple real time fault detection and diagnostics, and supporting compliance with various building codes. This CARD funded research seeks to quantify energy savings and implementation costs from deploying ASHRAE Guideline 36 in Minnesota commercial buildings, assess the nationwide market landscape for Guideline 36 adoption, and identify how Guideline 36 can inform and enhance Minnesota utilities’ ECO programs.
