The energy standard for buildings has been revised: ANSI/ASHRAE/IES90.1-2019: Energy Standard For Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings.
ASHRAE STANDARD ASHRAE STANDARD Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings I-P Edition ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004 (Includes ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Addenda listed in Appendix F.
The earliest human shelters guarded Paleolithic gatherers with basic protection from the elements and few amenities. Today, things are quite different, as buildings comprise complex systems that provide occupants with comfortable, safe, and attractive living and working environments. However, this necessitates superior architecture and engineering designs and quality construction practices. In result, lighting, major appliances, electronics, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) can consume a great deal of energy.
As noted by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the buildings sector accounts for about 76% of electricity use and 40% of all U.S. primary energy use and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To face energy and environmental challenges, it is crucial to reduce energy consumption in buildings. This also can lower costs to building owners and tenants.
ANSI/ASHRAE/IES90.1-2019 helps meet this need by offering minimum energy-efficientguidelines for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance ofbuildings. It applies to new buildings and new portions of buildings and theirsystems, new systems and equipment in existing buildings, and new equipment orbuilding systems specifically identified in the standard that are part ofindustrial or manufacturing processes. The standard also provides criteria fordetermining compliance with these specifications.
ANSI/ASHRAE/IES90.1-2019 does not apply to single-family houses, multifamily structures ofthree stories or fewer above grade, manufactured houses (mobile homes),manufactured houses (modular), and buildings that use neither electricity nor fossilfuel.
ANSI/ASHRAE/IES90.1-2019 revises the 2016 edition of the same American National Standard.In all, the current edition incorporates over 100 addenda to the 2016 edition,as well as numerous energy-saving measures. Changes were made to various areasthroughout, including administration and enforcement, the building envelope,lighting, mechanical, energy cost budget (ECB), the performance rating method,and compliance paths.
Notable changes to ANSI/ASHRAE/IES90.1-2019 include:

Users should note that there is an exception to thisstandard noted explicitly in its title: low-rise residential buildings. Thepurpose of ANSI/ASHRAE/IES90.1-2019 is:
“To establish the minimum energy efficiency requirements of buildings other than low-rise residential buildings.”
Low-rise residential buildings are defined here as:
“single-family houses, multifamily structures of three stories or fewer above grade, manufactured houses (mobile homes), and manufactured houses (modular).”
Energy efficiency guidelines for these buildings arespecified in a separate document, ANSI/ASHRAE/IES90.2-2018: Energy-Efficient Design Of Low-Rise Residential Buildings, whichis also available on the ANSI Webstore.

While not as significant of a revision of the 2018 edition and now superseded by the current standard, the 2016 revision of this standard also underwent some changes that might be relevant to current users.
These changes include a one-column format, italicized defined terms, table format alterations to provide contrast between rows, and a clear separation, through indentions and a smaller font , of exceptions mentioned for particular specifications in the document.
There also were modifications made to the technical provisions of ANSI/ASHRAE/IES STANDARD 90.1-2016. These relate to building envelopes (addition of verification in support of reduced air filtration and increased stringency for metal building roof and walls), lighting (recognizing LED as a common application of current lighting design), mechanical requirements (addition of chilled-water plant metering and elevator efficiency), and energy cost budget (ECB) and modeling (changes to Appendix G).
