Advanced energy design guide for highway lodging: achieving 30% energy savings toward a net zero energy building.

Author(s) : ASHRAE, AIA, IESNA, US GBC, US Dep. Energy

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This guide, published in the Advanced Energy Design Guide series, provides recommendations for achieving 30% energy savings which is the first step in the process toward achieving a net zero energy building. It focuses on typical hotels found along highways having up to 80 rooms, generally four stories or less, that use unitary heating and air-conditioning equipment. Buildings of this type with these HVAC system configurations represent a significant amount of commercial hotel space in the United States.
All of the energy-saving recommendations for each of the eight US climate zones are contained on a single page, thus facilitating the guide’s use. Additional recommendations identify other opportunities to incorporate greater energy savings into the design of the building.
To further facilitate its use, the guide cross-references the how-to information with the numbered tips and the colour-coded climate zone maps inside. Examples of advanced highway lodging energy designs are also provided in various case studies to illustrate the recommendations and to demonstrate the flexibility offered in achieving the advanced energy savings levels provided within the guide.
