A Deep Dive into Guideline 36

The newest ASHRAE Guideline, 36-2018 High-Performance Sequences of Operation for HVAC Systems, provides uniform sequences of operation for HVAC systems that are intended to:

• maximize the systems' energy efficiency and performance
• provide control stability
• and allow for real-time fault detection and diagnostics

Standardized advanced control sequences provide benefits including:

• reduced engineering time
• reduced programming and commissioning time
• reduced energy consumption
• improved indoor air quality
• and a common set of terms to facilitate communication between specifiers, contractors and operators

Join us for a deep dive discussion of the new Guideline, and how to apply it to your projects.
