Among the awards to be presented are the two most prominent individual awrds for ASHRAE members, the Louise and Bill Holladay Distinguished Fellow Award and the Andrew T. Boggs Service Award. Louise and Bill Holladay Distinguished Fellow Award Steven T. Taylor, P.E., Fellow ASHRAE, receives the Louise and Bill Holladay Distinguished Fellow Award. This annual award is given to an ASHRAE Fellow for continuous preeminence in engineering or research work. The honor was initiated in 1979 by Presidential Member Bill Holladay. Taylor is principal, Taylor Engineering, Alameda, Calif. Andrew T. Boggs Service Award Presidential Member H.E. (Barney) Burroughs, Fellow/Life Member ASHRAE, receives the Andrew T. Boggs Service Award. The award, named after ASHRAE's executive vice president emeritus, recognizes an Exceptional Service Award recipient for continuing unselfish, dedicated and distinguished service. Burroughs is president and CEO, Building Wellness Consultancy, Johns Creek, Ga. Historical Minute Cellular Rubber "A lighter than cork rubber for insulating refrigerators and freezing units has been announced by the United States Rubber Co. The material is known as cellular rubber. It can be made in hard or soft form. It will not absorb moisture and is resistant to fire, rot, acids, oil, vermin and termites, the company reported. It is made by an expanding process in which chemicals containing nitrogen are mixed into a mass of rubber. The nitrogen upon release acts as a blowing agent, producing thousands of microscopic cells. During the war it was used in the production of lightweight domes to protect radar equipment and in the wings of airplanes as supports for fuel tanks. It is now being made available for the first time for insulating purposes." -"Cellular Rubber New Insulating Agent," Ice and Refrigeration, March 1947, p. 84 Distinguished 50-Year Members The Distinguished 50-Year Member Award is given to individuals who have been a member for a minimum of 50 years, and who have performed outstanding service.

The national weighted change is 47.8% more energy efficient than the minimum requirements of Standard 90.1-2013, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, based on site energy and 47.8% more energy efficient than Standard 90.1-2013 based on source energy. The question of "how energy efficient can commercial and multifamily buildings become in the near future if first cost is not considered" was explored in 1651-RP, "Development of Maximum Technically Achievable Energy Targets for Commercial Buildings: Ultra-Low Energy Use Building Set." "The value of establishing such ultra- low-energy targets for buildings is twofold," said Jason Glazer, principal engineer for GARD Analytics, who oversaw the project. "These targets will indicate to building design professionals what may be achieved if first cost is not considered and challenge the creativity of those professionals to achieve similar results in actual designs with the real-world constraints of first costs. They also will help advance design guides, standards and codes by providing an ultimate goal." For the project, researchers assembled a list of energy efficiency measures that can be included in the design of non-residential buildings. The list included both commonly used and cutting edge energy efficiency measures, according to Glazer. From the resulting list of almost 400 measures, 30 were chosen for additional analysis. Sixteen prototype buildings that were consistent with Standard 90.1-2013 across 17 climate zones were used as baseline models. The 30 measures then were individually modeled. Each of the 30 measures, often with many options, were applied to each building and climate combination. In general, the measures were applied in the following order: * Reduce internal loads; * Reduce building envelope loads; * Reduce HVAC distribution system losses; * Decrease HVAC equipment energy consumption; and * Make major HVAC reconfigurations. "It is useful to understand how far energy efficiency measures can go to reduce the use of energy in the built environment," said Glazer.
