The Guide to Meeting the Challenges of Tall Buildings Tall buildings
present unique and formidable challenges to architects and engineers
because of their size, location in major urban areas, and the multiple,
complex occupancies they often contain. ASHRAE Design Guide for Tall,
Supertall, and Megatall Building Systems is a unique reference for owners;
architects; and mechanical, structural, and electrical engineers as well
as other specialized consultants involved in designing systems for these
buildings. Expanded since ASHRAE's previous guide on the topic in 2004,
this new design guide covers not only tall buildings (taller than 300 ft
[91m]) but now also addresses supertall (taller than 984 ft [300 m]) and
megatall (taller than 1968 ft [600 m]) buildings, with a broadened scope
and updated content that reflects current standards and industry
practices. This guide not only focuses on the efforts of designers of the
HVAC systems but also addresses the importance of the design team and
their collective efforts and concerns that are the critical elements in
determining the ultimate solutions to the project needs of a tall
building. This guide addresses design issues for tall commercial
buildings, which are very often mixed use, with low-level retail, office
floors, residential floors, and hotel floors. Also included are appendices
with examples of stack effect and wind pressure for four representative
climates, energy analysis examples, and HVAC design criteria and a systems
description for a multiple-tenant office building.
