- Abstract
In the spring of 2023, ASHRAE published the first edition of ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 228, Standard Method of Evaluating Zero Net Energy and Zero Net Carbon Building Performance. It contains a method of evaluating a building, or group of buildings, to determine if they've achieved "zero net energy" and/or "zero net carbon" operation. This article outlines measurement methods contained in Standard 228, details of its development and how it compares and interacts with other carbon-related ASHRAE standards. Standard 228 draws from ASHRAE Standards 100 and 105, defines site boundaries, quantifies energy and carbon flows and determines their balance. Given annual climate and occupancy variations, Standard 228 can serve as an ongoing, multiyear affirmation of achieving net zero operation for energy and/or carbon emissions.
