Energy Code Equivalents for International Locations

  • 1.  Energy Code Equivalents for International Locations

    Posted 02-27-2025 04:16 PM

    We have a number of projects in Asia each year, and also the UK. For our UK projects, we haven't been as concerned about finding an energy code equivalent, since those projects are generally modeled and we can track that. 

    For projects in China, Korea, and Singapore, however, modeling isn't always assumed. We have in the past used ASHRAE 90.1-2010 as an assumed equivalent to local energy code, but we'd like to know how others are handling that situation. Have you found some discussion of equivalency to use? 

    Any precedent is helpful. Thanks.
