Author(s) : ASHRAE

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This guide, published in the Advanced Energy Design Guide series, provides a sensible approach to easily achieve advanced levels of energy savings without having to resort to detailed calculations or analysis. It offers contractors and designers the tools, including recommendations for practical products and off-the-shelf technology, needed for achieving a 30% energy savings compared to buildings that meet the minimum requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-1999. It focuses on elementary, middle, and high school buildings (K-12), which have a wide variety of heating and air-conditioning requirements. Extract from the table of contents: an integrated design approach to achieve savings; recommendations by climate; 7 case studies; how to implement recommendations. In the appendices: envelope thermal performance factors; commissioning; climate zones for Mexico and Canada; ENERGY STAR appliances; additional resources.
