June 19, 2006—To streamline its standards development process, ASHRAE is now publishing supplements containing all recent addenda to code-intended standards, says the organization.
These supplements combine into one all of the addenda that have been approved for each standard since their last publication in 2004.
In the past, addenda for code-intended standards on continuous maintenance were posted individually on ASHRAE.org after being approved by the Board of Directors for publication. Now, Board-approved addenda are being published in a supplement for each standard.
The supplements will be published on a regular schedule halfway between the three year publication of each standard. The addenda also will be incorporated into each standard when it is reissued after its last publication.
To download the addenda via pdf files for each standard at no charge, visit the “standards addenda” section at the ASHRAE Web site.
ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of 55,000 persons. Its sole objective is to advance through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education the arts and sciences of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world.
