Why ASHRAE 90.1 Structural Compliance Matters

ASHRAE Standard 90.1 — Energy Standard for Buildings compliance for structural drawings is critical because violations discovered during plan review delay permits, and issues found during construction result in costly rework, change orders, and schedule delays. Catching ASHRAE 90.1 structural issues during preconstruction costs 10x less than fixing them in the field (CII, 1-10-100 Rule).
