Develop energy efficient buildings with this essential design guide
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.
