President’s Corner
The strength of ASHRAE is a diverse and committed membership. This year, the focus of Society and
the National Capital Chapter was “Making Connections.” On our chapter level, we have significantly expanded
the role of the Women in ASHRAE (WiA) affinity group and many new members volunteered for the many
Student Activities events. Our Young Engineers of ASHRAE committee held several events, including joint
events with other local societies. The NCC monthly chapter meetings were well attended and very interesting
this year! I want to take this opportunity to thank all our volunteers and their respective employers for their
support and commitment to the National Capital Chapter!
Good luck to all the golfers and thank you for making the Annual Golf Tournament benefiting ASHRAE
Research Promotion a hugely successful event year after year. Please keep an eye on your email as we are still
planning a building tour for May or early June.
The Region III Chapter Regional Conference (CRC) will be held on August 18 – 20, 2016 in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A full day of technical sessions will be held on August 18th and will focus on
integrated building design, advanced building design, and indoor air quality. All information regarding CRC can
be found on the ASHRAE Region III website, here: http://region3.ashraeregions.org/
Thank you again for your commitment and support. This has been a successful, productive, and
rewarding year at the National Capital Chapter.
Best Regards,
Laura Petrillo-Groh

National Capital Chapter – Capitalaire
On Thursday, April 21st the National Capital Chapter’s Women in ASHRAE committee hosted a special panel
discussion and networking session at GHT Limited in Arlington, VA to help employers focus on retention issues
in the workplace and how to better communicate with women employees. The evening began with a presentation
by Julia Keen, AE Professor at Kansas State University, to introduce attendees to some of the issues women face
and then we broke into an engaging discussion with the other panelists, including Stacie Gregory, Recruitment
Research Fellow at AAUW and Jennifer Leach, Engineer at Cummins Wagner & WiA Committee Chair for the
ASHRAE Baltimore Chapter.
ASHRAE NCC wants to send a HUGE thank you to our sponsor, GHT Limited, for providing the venue,
appetizers and cocktails! Everyone in attendance enjoyed the presentation and conversation flowed well
throughout the panel discussion.
This was the last event for ASHRAE NCC WiA for the 2015-2016 season. We look forward to seeing you in the
fall!

Setty & Associates Present Net Zero Buildings at University of DC
On May 3, 2016, University of DC’s AHSRAE Club hosted Raj Setty and Said Harmouche of Setty &
Associates to present on engineering Net Zero Buildings. The presentation used a case study of Ballou High
School to illustrate how Net Zero design can be achieved in a dense urban environment, and discussed
14

innovative systems like solar Photovoltaics (PV), biomass micro-Organic Rankine Cycle (micro-ORC) power
generation, and Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power (CCHP). The presentation also examined the use of
geothermal wells under football field space for Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) in high performance school
design. Thanks to Raj and Said for taking time out of their busy schedules to demonstrate innovative
engineering for Net Zero buildings to the next generation of mechanical engineers at UDC!
Government Activities
ASHRAE Standards, Guidelines, and Resources continue to gain attention and use with a broad audience,
including code bodies within the Washington DC region. Earlier this year, the green and energy code review
cycle began in Washington DC, for adoption of the 2015 International Green Construction Code and the 2015
International Energy Conservation Code. Washington DC was the first major city in the United States to adopt
the 2012 IgCC for a wide subset of its building stock. Its process for broad stakeholder engagement was used as
a model nationally (http://doee.dc.gov/service/green-buildings).
For the 2015 code cycle, the DC Department of Environment and the DC Department of Consumer and
Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) is seeking to streamline and simplify code language where possible. Advising the
city is a core technical advisory group consisting of voting and non-voting members from the construction,
design, developer, real estate management, and consulting community. Subject matter experts from other cities
are also resources to this effort which will run until approximately August 2016. The IECC and IgCC both utilize
ASHRAE Standards as compliance pathways, including 90.1-2013 and 189.1-2014. One of the proposals being
considered is to utilize only the ASHRAE standards for prescriptive or performance based compliance. Of note,
starting with the 2018 version of IgCC, 189.1 will become the de facto IgCC language. This move helps to
streamline related training, enforcement, and compliance software development. The other major jurisdiction in
the area also considering green building codes is Montgomery County.
If you'd like to offer input on energy and green codes in Washington DC, please don't hesitate to contact me at
rchang@wrldesign.com<mailto:rchang@wrldesign.com>
In related news, New York City recently announced a ground-breaking and ambition plan to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions by 80% by 2050, with a multi-faceted approach that includes a greater focus on streamlined,
performance-based energy codes. For more information, please visit: http://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-themayor/news/386-16/onenyc-mayor-de-blasio-major-new-steps-dramatically-reduce-nyc-buildings-greenhouse

Integrated Building Design
Time: 8:15AM – 9:45AM
By: Charles E. Gulledge, III, PE, HFDP
GBCI Approved | 1.5 CE Hours | 0090010495
AIA Approved | 1.5 LU/HSW | GULLEDGE01
This seminar will provide a working knowledge of the
integrated building design process, explaining the basic
concepts involved and outlining the fundamental application
of this approach. Course content will explain the advantages
and benefits of integrated building design and how this
process differs from conventional design practice. The
program structure will identify the necessary sequencing and
scope of activities that should be implemented to support
development of collaborative solutions. In addition to design
related philosophy, course content will explore the critical
elements of TEAM activity and management of collaborative
teams. This seminar will benefit any person who has a role in
the planning, design, construction, and operation of a built
solution. Attendees will be able to strategically position
themselves in the market place by understanding the value
of project fundamentals and the importance of holistic
interdependencies. Emphasis will be placed on transitioning
traditional processes that aggregate isolated silos of
knowledge into collaborative thought and shared outcome.
Standard 188 – Legeonellosis: Risk Management for
Building Water Systems
Time: 1:30PM – 3:00PM
By: Thomas E. Watson, P.E.
Background and history of legionellosis also known as LD
(Legionnaires disease,) LB (Legionella Bacteria) is common
but was unknown as the source of Pontiac Fever and LD
until 1976. The conditions in building water systems that
cause the amplification of LB, the generation of the
necessary aerosols containing LB and the susceptible
person who are at risk for contracting LD are detailed. The
ANSI/ASHRAE standards development process where all
interested and affected parties are encouraged to participate
through the consensus process is described.
The
requirement of balance between the various interest groups
such as water treatment specialists, building owners and
operators, manufacturers of water system devices,
government officials, the CDC, and others from around the
world is a key. How individuals can participate in improving
the standard is another subject that is discussed. The key
parts of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 188-2015 are summarized
to give the audience a conceptual framework and sources of
more in depth knowledge are given.
Compliance

Buildings are one of the largest energy end use sectors in
countries around the globe. Concerns for the availability of
energy supplies and the impact of energy use on the
environment are driving a worldwide focus on energy end
use reduction. In this push for dramatic changes in the
energy use intensity of the building sector, it is essential that
the fundamental importance of indoor environmental quality,
particularly indoor air quality, not be lost. This presentation
addresses: 1) the significance of indoor air quality in terms of
its impact on health and productivity and associated costs; 2)
the inseparable linkage between indoor air quality and
building energy demands, including examples of efficient
technologies for maintaining good indoor air quality; and 3)
the need for an approach to building research, design, and
operation that recognizes this connection.

Concern regarding the risk of hospital acquired infections
and the effect of the built environment on epidemics of drugresistant diseases is increasing. The well-educated designer
and owner needs to understand the mechanisms by which
infectious disease is transmitted indoors, the extent to which
HVAC system characteristics affect probability of infection,
available means for controlling risk with demonstrated
effectiveness. These topics are presented and discussed
using the ASHRAE Board of Directors-approved Position
Document Airborne Infectious Diseases as a framework.
Pertinent scientific knowledge about modes of disease
transmission is reviewed, its practical implications for control
are discussed, and the three HVAC-related control methods
identified by the Position Document: ventilation, particulate
filtration, and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation, are presented
and compared. General recommendations for reducing risk
are provided and knowledge gaps that need to be filled are
identified.

Controls and Ventilation Design Considerations
for VRF
Time: 8:15AM – 11:30AM
By: Tom Greco and Joe Cefaly of Mitsubishi
ASHRAE/IES/USGBC Standard 189.1:
This presentation will discuss the three aspects of
variable refrigerant flow (VRF) HVAC equipment
operation and design considerations. We will discuss
the refrigeration cycle in terms of how VRF
condensing units operate. Emphasis will be made on
how to interpret the pressure-enthalpy chart when
designing VRF systems in general. Ventilation design
as it relates to projects using VRF systems will be
explored. Course content will cover different
methods for introducing ventilation air to buildings
including using VRF equipment to treat the air
directly, use of energy recovery ventilators and
dedicated outside air systems. The ventilation
strategies of having ventilation air being delivered to
spaces independent from, and integral to, VRF
systems will be presented. Demand controlled
ventilation will also be discussed. Considerations for
designing control strategies as they relate to VRF
systems will be reviewed. The primary focus will be
on “out of the box solutions” but advanced concepts
will also be touched on.
Standard 189.1, Standard for the Design of HighPerformance, Green Buildings except Low-Rise
Residential Buildings, is the first code-intended
commercial green building standard in the United
States. It provides a long-needed green building
foundation for those who strive to design, build, and
operate green buildings. The standard covers key
topic areas of site sustainability, water use efficiency,
energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality and
the building’s impact on the atmosphere, materials
and resources, and includes construction practices
as well as plans for operation of the building after
occupancy. This presentation provides an overview
of the structure and requirements of Standard 189.1,
including
key
mandatory,
prescriptive,
and
performance requirements. The expected energy
savings in comparison to other ASHRAE Standards
by commercial building type is also shown.

The Next Generation of Refrigerants
Time: 3:15PM – 4:45PM
By: Matthew Ritter from Arkema
Our industry is constantly evolving and refrigerants
are an admired topic as policy measures are driving
regulatory changes around the world.
At the
international level, countries are on the cusp of
regulating HFCs while several domestic programs
have sprouted to ignite an earlier move to the use of
lower GWP substances. All of this activity is pushing
up against a number of codes and standards which
are not currently prepared to deal with all of the
properties of the new substances. Users are left with
many new options for their equipment and must
consider a host of parameters before selecting their
next fluids. The Next Generation of Refrigerants will
fly over the global and regional policy dynamics, the
new refrigerants coming to market, along with the
challenges and opportunities users and ASHRAE
faces in the coming years.
