![]() The scope of the guideline is intended for use with new construction and ongoing commissioning efforts. The approved purpose is to provide “technical support for the application of the commissioning process to data centers” and is intended to be used in conjunction with guideline 0-2019 versus as a standalone document. SSPC-300 has directed GPC-1.6 to develop the new guideline to be complementary and consistent with guideline 0-2019 and standard 202-2018. As such, the proposed guideline 1.6 will establish industry best practices for commissioning data centers. Guidelines, on the other hand, should establish industry best practices and are not intended to be adopted into code and enforced by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Standard 90.4 establishes the minimum energy efficiency a data center design must meet in order to be compliant. Current membership includes representatives from many well-known engineering and commissioning firms from both domestic and international locations.ĪSHRAE considers “standards” to be minimum requirements for meeting a performance goal, such as energy efficiency. The new title, purpose, and scope were approved, and, in 2018, work began in earnest on developing this guideline. In 2017, ASHRAE approved the development of a new commissioning guideline specific to data centers, and GPC-1.6, Commissioning of Data Centers, was formed.
