TC 9.1 Plans Updates to Systems and Equipment Handbook
By Warren Hahn, TC 9.1
Fellow ASHRAE
Technical Committee 9.1, Large Building Air-Conditioning Systems, participated in a May 2005
workshop to improve the 2008 Systems and Equipment volume of the ASHRAE Handbook. The
TC was represented by Howard McKew and also in attendance were the revisers of chapters 1
through 5 for which the TC is responsible.
TC 9.1’s planned updates to the 2008 Handbook included numerous electronic
enhancements for the 2005-2008 ASHRAE HandbookCD+ version. TC 9.1 agreed to include
electronic attachments in the 2005-2008 HandbookCD+ that users could link to as part of their
system analysis and selection process.
With a focus on assisting the users in determining the optimum system(s) for their
project, TC 9.1's revisers are providing the following planned revisions to the 2008 ASHRAE
Handbook:
Chapter 1 shall include a system "process" flow diagram. This diagram can be a user's
"roadmap" to assessing the project needs/goals, analyzing the possible systems for the job, and
through a numerical scorecard process, determining the optimum system for the job. The 20052008 HandbookCD+ will feature a "System Selection Matrix" that will analytically determine the
optimum system, leading to the user's recommendation and the generation of a report to support
the recommendation. A demonstration of how this application would work was presented at the
2006 ASHRAE Annual Meeting in Quebec City where TC 9.1 rolled out this back to basics
methodology in Seminar 1. It was presented by Steve Duda who gave an overview of Chapter 1
procedure using the Process Flow Diagram to analyze and select the optimum system. (This
presentation is included on the Seminar DVD for this meeting. Also, the seminar can be viewed
online. Visit the online ASHRAE bookstore for ordering information.)

Proposed Chapter 2 (currently Chapter 5 in the 2004 Handbook) is the Decentralized Cooling
and Heating chapter. This chapter/topic relocation is based on the natural progression from
chapter 1 to go to either decentralized or centralized cooling and heating system analysis and
selection. Based on the assumption that the majority of HVAC systems selected are
decentralized, it is being proposed that chapter 5 be moved to the chapter 2 spot. The 20052008 HandbookCD+ will include an electronic "System Selection Matrix" document enhanced
from the chapter 1 matrix and geared more specifically towards chapter 2. The TC 9.1’s Back to
Basics Seminar 1 at the Quebec City meeting featured John Kuempel providing an overview of
the proposed chapter 2 procedure using the Process Flow Diagram as the guide to analyzing and
selecting the optimum system along with a case study example using the System Selection
Matrix from an actual project.
Proposed Chapter 3 (currently Chapter 4 in the 2004 Handbook) will be Central Cooling and
Heating chapter. This chapter/topic proposed relocation is based on the same agreement by the
revisers that the natural progression from chapter 1 is to go to either decentralized or centralized
cooling and heating system analysis and selection. The chapter reviser, John Vucci, brings an
owner/operator point of view. In the May workshop, it was stressed that this chapter offer
guidelines for design engineers, builders and facility managers and that an experienced facility
manager could enhance this update. For the 2005-2008 HandbookCD+, there will also be an
electronic "System Selection Matrix" document enhanced from the chapter 1 matrix and geared
more specifically towards chapter 3.
Proposed Chapter 4 (currently Chapter 2 in the 2004 Handbook) will be Building Air Handling
and Distribution. This chapter update shall include discussion on UFAD (under floor air
displacement) system consideration along with other updated chapter material. The 2005-2008
HandbookCD+ will include an electronic "System Selection Matrix" document enhanced from the
chapter 1 matrix and geared more specifically towards chapter 4.

Proposed Chapter 5 (currently Chapter 3 in the 2004 Handbook) will be In-Room Terminal
Systems and Distribution. This chapter update shall include discussion on some of the latest
system considerations (i.e., radiant and valence cooling) system along with other updated chapter
material. The 2005-2008 HandbookCD+ will include an electronic "System Selection Matrix"
document enhanced from the chapter 1 matrix and geared more specifically towards chapter 5.
CAD drawings will replace all the current system flow diagrams in chapters 2 - 4. The
drawings are being produced by Kim McKew, a CAD operator at Richard D. Kimball, Inc. a
consulting engineering firm in Massachusetts and New Jersey. TC 9.1 decided that all the
drawings in these chapters should be updated and computerized and that the drawings should
show a consistency and quality with each of the flow diagrams presented. ASHRAE is currently
working on a means for users of the 2005-2008 HandbookCD+ to be able to get access to these
CAD files for their use in the system selection and reporting process.
In updating these five chapters, the revisers sought out less senior engineers (Sarah
Maston and Amanda McKew) for their professional prospective to improving these chapters
versus recruiting past revisers of these chapters. This approach was discussed at the May 2nd
Workshop as a way to get a "fresh look" at each chapter from those more apt to use the
Handbook on a regular basis.
In general, the revision of chapters 1-5 in the 2008 Handbook by TC 9.1 will have a more
consistent look, latest technology/system consideration, CAD documents, links to system
selection matrix files, and consideration towards LEED, commissioning, security, operation and
maintenance, value engineering and rules-of-thumb.
The workshop was attended by representatives from all the TCs responsible for updating
the 2008 ASHRAE Handbook and 2005-2008 HandbookCD+.
