ASHRAE-specific questions on the exam. It was oriented much more toward
principles of building physics and modeling. General knowledge of HVAC system
types and control strategies will be helpful, but you don’t have to be an
HVAC designer to pass. If you’re going to read any of the ASHRAE
Fundamentals, I’d look at Chapter 19 – Energy Estimating and
Modeling Methods. Several of the sections in the chapter cover items listed in
the Detailed Content Outline provided by ASHRAE. (Warning: with apologies to
the authors, <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Ch.</st1:place></st1:country-region>
19 is very technical and will put you to sleep trying to read it.) Also, there
were no software-specific questions, so I wouldn’t be too concerned if
your references are starting to get old. One of the things I read was “Guidelines
for Energy Simulation of Commercial Buildings”, from 1992, and available
here:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB'>I have taught
Building Physics and Computational Modelling both within academia and as a
trainer for commercial software providers. I try and teach some
principles even within my short 3 day software courses as it’s imperative
to do so, in order that people can get a grasp of why you do certain things in
models, particularly in a low energy passive naturally ventilated
building. This sort of work seems to me to be partly contrary to ASHRAE
regulations require and so I’m just wondering if my slightly lesser
knowledge of exact types of systems will be a hindrance. I know the
fundamentals and general elements of most systems having served my apprenticeship
as a BMS controls engineer, but I am not a complex system mechanical HVAC
designer. I am a physicist after all, that’s what my PhD is in.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

in my view although getting quite old now, is a really good guide in how to
scope and carry out a simulation study. It is however quite a bit out of
date, particularly when you look at the tools it has used. We’ve
suggested a re-write to CIBSE a few times and I think it will happen at some
point, but I think it’s going to take a while.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
