ASHRAE Introduces Its First iPhone App Developed by Carmel Software

San Rafael, CA, July 15, 2010 - Carmel Software is pleased to announce that it has developed a customized iPhone app for ASHRAE 62.1-2007. Developed for Apple's iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, the ASHRAE Standard 62.1 app allows for convenient calculations while in the field, performing the outdoor air calculations found in the Ventilation Rate Procedure and the interactive 62MZCalc spreadsheets contained in the ASHRAE User's Manual for Standard 62.1, Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality.

The ASHRAE 62.1 app can also be used to determine 62.1 compliance of simple ventilation systems (single zone, 100 percent outdoor-air and changeover-bypass VAV) as well as more complex ventilation systems (single-path, multiple zone recirculating) and can operate in both IP and metric units. Other benefits include the ability to store and access multiple projects within the app and also to email inputs and results for use in a spreadsheet at a later time.

The ASHRAE 62.1 app can be purchased through Apple's online iPhone App Store for $19.99. The app applies to the calculations and spreadsheet in the 2007 standard and User's Manual. When the documents are updated to correspond with new editions of Standard 62.1, purchasers will receive a free upgrade.

"As a leader in the advancement of the latest HVAC&R technology, it's only right that we utilize the latest smart phone technology," Jim Fields, volunteer head of ASHRAE's publishing activities, said. "This new application ensures that engineers in the field have instant access to the most accurate information without having to return to their office to perform calculations."

"We are proud to have developed ASHRAE's first iPhone app. ASHRAE 62.1 calcs are perfectly suited for the mobile environment," says Stephen Roth, Principal of Carmel.
