I'm sending this to the smartgid-interest and BLUE member section
list at OASIS because of broad interest on usage and other facility
information.
There's been quite a bit of interest in this work, and ASHRAE has
extended the deadline to August 3. This is the core of new NIST/SGIP
Priority Action Plan 17 (see links below).
Membership is not required and there are no fees to join the
committee.
Since I'm not an ASHRAE member I'm sharing some of the glitches I
worked through to complete my application (below Steve Bushby's
announcement email below - questions to him).
ASHRAE has extended the deadline until August 3 for interested parties to
apply for membership on Standard Project Committee 201P,
Facility Smart Grid Information. This extension is in response
to a number of last minute questions and some apparent confusion
about the scope of the proposed standard and the application
process. This standard will define an information model to
enable control systems and end use devices found in commercial
and institutional buildings, industrial facilities, and single-
and multi-family homes to interact with a future Smart Grid.
ASHRAE membership is not a requirement and
there are no application fees. The application process is used
to ensure that the voting membership of the committee meets ANSI
requirements for a balanced representation of interests. ASHRAE
encourages all interested parties including energy service
providers, and users and manufacturers of building and
industrial control systems, residential appliances, and consumer
electronics to submit an application following the instructions
attached to this message.
