Standard 154-2011 — Ventilation for Commercial Cooking Operations (ANSI Approved)
ASHRAE Standing Standard Project Committee 154
First published in 2003, ASHRAE Standard 154 has been thoroughly revised in this edition to make it code enforceable and to provide the most complete design guidance available on commercial kitchen ventilation components and systems. This standard now serves as a template for standardization, harmonization, and ongoing revision of related model and adopted codes and to bring consistency to design requirements and applications of commercial kitchen ventilation systems.

Standard 135-2010 — BACnet A Data Communication Protocol for Building Automation and Control Networks (ANSI Approved)
SSPC 135 and TC 1.4, Control Theory and Application
This standard was published by ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) in 2011.
BACnet, the ASHRAE building automation and control networking protocol, has been designed specifically to meet the communication needs of building automation and control systems for applications such as heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning control, lighting control, access control, and fire detection systems. The BACnet protocol provides mechanisms by which computerized equipment of arbitrary function may exchange information, regardless of the particular building service it performs. As a result, the BACnet protocol may be used by head-end computers, general-purpose direct digital controllers, and application specific or unitary controllers with equal effect. The motivation for this standard was the widespread desire of building owners and operators for “interoperability,” the ability to integrate equipment from different vendors into a coherent automation and control system – and to do so competitively. The purpose of this standard is to define data communication services and protocols for computer equipment used for monitoring and control of HVAC&R and other building systems and to define an abstract, object-oriented representation of information communicated between such equipment, thereby facilitating the application and use of digital control technology in buildings. This protocol provides a comprehensive set of messages for conveying encoded binary, analog, and alphanumeric data between devices including, but not limited to:
(a) hardware binary input and output values,
(b) hardware analog input and output values,
(c) software binary and analog values,
(d) text string values,
(e) schedule information,
(f) alarm and event information,
(g) files, and
(h) control logic.

This standards was published by ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) in 2010. It has 178 pages.
The explanatory material, detailed information, figures, and examples contained within this User’s Manual are provided to aid the user in designing, installing, and operating buildings in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010. This Manual does not reproduce the requirements of the standard, but rather paraphrases and explains them. Intended to be used in conjunction with the standard, this Manual:
- Offers information on the intent and application of Standard 62.1;
- Explains the standard through the use of sample calculations and examples;
- Encourages the user to apply the principles of good indoor air quality and effective ventilation when designing buildings and building systems;
- Provides useful reference material to assist designers in efficiently completing a successful and compliant design;
- Gives guidance to building operation and maintenance personnel.
This Manual also instructs the user in the application of tools used for compliance with Standard 62.1-2010. In particular, three newly revised spreadsheets are distributed with this User’s Manual that assist in the Ventilation Rate Procedure calculations.This User’s Manual is intended to be used by:
- Architects and engineers who must apply the standard to the design of their buildings;
- Those manufacturers of systems and components who choose to provide the industry with complying equipment;
- Plan examiners and field inspectors who will be charged with enforcing the standard in areas where it is adopted as code;
- General and specialty contractors who must construct buildings in compliance with the standard; and
- Operators and maintainers who must ensure the compliance of the building throughout its lifespan.

Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality
Developed by American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers, ASHRAE 62.1 was published in the summer of 2010.
ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010 supersedes Standard 62.1-2007. It is ASHRAE’s standard for indoor air quality for commercial buildings. The 2010 revision adds new minimum filtration/air-cleaning requirements, minimum requirements for when ventilation systems must be operated, and a Natural Ventilation Procedure. Other revisions include a more robust IAQ procedure, demand-controlled ventilation system design requirements, requirements for separation of intakes and exhausts, and ventilation rates and occupancy categories.
