WK94639 - New Practice for Measuring Energy Efficiency and Emissions in Use of Residential Buildings

Work Item

ASTM WK94639

New Practice for Measuring Energy Efficiency and Emissions in Use of Residential Buildings

1. Scope

Standard of Practice for Site Specific Assessments with respect to energy efficiency and carbon emissions associated with and/or produced in the operational use of residential buildings.

Keywords

energy; efficiency; carbon; footprint; emissions; residential; buildings; measurements; operational

Rationale

Industry lacks a practical standard to enable householders and stakeholders to measure and understand the carbon footprint associated with the operational use of buildings. Existing standards do not address needs for residential buildings in ways that connect to energy (electricity and fuel), efficiency, and emissions of residential buildings.
