New Mailing List Called BLDG-RATE
Announcing a new mailing list called BLDG-RATE created to enable people to exchange questions and answers relating to building performance rating systems. The onebuilding.org web site hosts the new BLDG-RATE mailing list which joins the existing BLDG-SIM, TRACE-users, eQUEST-users, and HAP-users mailing lists. The BLDG-SIM list has been helping users of building energy simulation software since 1999 and has over 1300 participants.
BLDG-RATE is a mailing list for people using building performance rating
systems. Discussions of any green building performance rating system or building
energy performance rating system are welcome. Some of the most common rating
systems include the LEED rating systems (New Construction, Existing Buildings,
Homes, etc.), ENERGY STAR (Label for Buildings, Target Finder, Home), BREEAM,
various Home Energy Rating Systems (HER), and Green Globes. Building rating
systems provide a method to objectively grade, or benchmark, the environmental
and/or energy performance of both commercial and residential buildings providing
a score that others can understand. Discussions of design-oriented as well as
operation-oriented rating systems are encouraged. Many building rating systems
are in use today and conversations relating to any and all of them may take
place on the mailing list. People of all experience levels ranging from those
just learning to experts are urged to share their questions and answers on the
mailing list.
