Welcome to the homepage of the ASHRAE Technical
Committee 1.4. This technical committee is concerned with control theory,
systems, and components (excluding refrigerant flow controls) for heating, ventilating,
air conditioning, and refrigeration uses.
Do you want to get involved in your TC's issues at the Society level? If so, read

Recent TC 1.4 Meeting Minutes:
Two Management by objectives were established in Long Beach for TC 1.4: 1) Enhance communication among subcommittees and membership through the use of mailing list and web site updates 2) Encourage the goals of efficient use of meeting resources and society goals in sustainability by reduction of distributed paper and paperless meetings in TC activities.
Some of the presentations from the Chicago meeting (2006) do not appear on the DVD. The missing presentations are posted. [Programs]
TC 1.4 Programs Schedule

Seminar 7 (Intermediate)
Using Direct Digital Controls as a Tool to Commission Sustainable Buildings Track:
Sustainability Room: Salt Palace Convention Center Ballroom G
Sponsor: 1.4 Control Theory and Application; 1.5 Computer
Applications
Chair: Frank Shadpour, P.E., Fellow ASHRAE, SC Engineer, Inc., San Diego, CA
The seminar focuses on using direct digital controls (DDC) as a tool to commission and benchmark green and sustainable
buildings. The quality and effectiveness of the commissioning process is only as good as the tools that are used. Presentations
closely review the requirements, opportunities and obstacles associated with the available building automation technology for
and retro-commissioning of sustainable buildings. The contractor’s and engineer’s responsibilities,
as well as the owner’s required commitments, are discussed. Scenarios for specific LEED certified buildings, including
hospitals and laboratory buildings are presented.
