ASHRAE Standard 214-2017
There are many commercial entities that are rating buildings utilizing a number of different building rating systems yielding varying results. ASHRAE Standard 214-2017 Standard for Determining and Expressing Building Energy Performance in a Rating Program is a noncommercial consensus standard that provides uniformity in the building energy labeling and disclosure process and can be used in international, national, and regional legislation, policy making, and regulation activities.
The purpose of this document is to provide a standardized approach and methodology for determining and expressing building energy performance in a rating program.
The purpose of this document is to standardize the content of the label associated with the energy component of a rating program and to establish minimum requirements for rating program documentation
