ASHRAE standards

For this, I am going to use the rhyming numbers method (combined with a couple keywords here and there… you’ll
see).

to remember that:
ASHRAE 52.2 is about filtration media (MERV) and correlates to credits EQ 3.1 and EQ 5,
I will first assign rhyming words to relevant numbers:
5-hive; 2-blue; 3-bee; 1-run; 5-dive
now I create a visualization with these words…
There’s a hive (5), with a blue (2) sky behind it. There’s a guy named Mervin (MERV filters). He sees a bee (3)!!!
First he tries to run (1), but then eventually he has to dive (5) into the ocean to escape.
and this is roughly what I see…

Now the other ASHRAE standards. I won’t get into the image assembly for these, so you will have to use your
imagination!

ASHRAE 55 – thermal comfort – EQ 6.2 and EQ 7s

We’re with our friend again and there is still a hive (5). Again he has to dive (5). But this time it’s not so comfortable
(Thermal Comfort). He accidentally hits some sticks (6) on his way down and loses a shoe (2). But don’t worry; he
goes to heaven (7s).

ASHRAE 62 – ventilation – EQ p1, EQ 2, and EQ 6.2

There are some bricks (6) in a pile. Next to them is some glue (2). Some crazy person is building a wall in front of
the vents (ventilation) in his office. When asked why he is doing it, he replies that he has to (required- prerequisite)
and that he is not just doing it for fun (1). The other people in the office are so mad that one woman throws her shoe
(2) at him. The other employees steel away the bricks (6) and glue (2).

ASHRAE 90 – energy and lighting – SS 8, EA p2, EA 1

There’s a glass of wine (9) next to the bed (0-zed). There’s a woman with no energy to get up and turn off the light
(energy and lighting). She demands (pre-requisite) that her boyfriend do it instead. He also doesn’t want to get up, so
he throws his shoe (2). Then he says, ‘That was fun (1)’!

ASHRAE 90 – “So they sleep soundly (SS) for 8 hours.”
