New Design Guide Delivers Maximum Energy Savings For developing
energy-efficient buildings, the Advanced Energy Design Guide provides a sensible
approach by including practical products and readily-available,
off-the-shelf technology. The Guide offers you all the tools you need to
create an energy-efficient building where the owners will see a 30 percent
energy savings compared to buildings that only meet the minimum requirements of
Standard 90.1.
This four-color guide presents a simple approach to energy design for
contractors and designers of office buildings up to 20,000 sq. ft. Ideal for the
Contracting, Design and Remodeling industries, this peer-reviewed Guide features
a user-friendly format and contains how-to guidance. The Guide provides
benefits and savings for building owners while maintaining quality and
functionality of the office space.
The Guide includes:
Easy to follow climate zones for your geographic region
Recommendations for achieving energy efficiency credits for LEED
Bonus strategies for saving energy outside the building
Ways to retrofit existing buildings and renovations
This Guide helps meet all of the owner's energy performance requirements,
since it was developed by a diverse group of energy professionals: ASHRAE, the
American Institute of Architects (AIA), New Buildings Institute (NBI), and the
Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA). 104 pp.
