Advanced energy design guide for K-12 school buildings: achieving 50% energy savings toward a net zero energy building.

Author(s) : ASHRAE, American Institute of Architects (The), Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, US Green Building Council, US Department of Energy

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This guide, published in the Advanced Energy Design Guide series, strives to provide direction and recommendations to reduce total site energy use by at least 50% in K-12 school buildings, using ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004 as the basis for minimum code-compliant baseline building. The energy saving goal is to be achieved in each climate location rather than an aggregated national average. The 50% savings is determined based on whole-building site energy savings, which includes plug and process loads. The guide applies to all sizes and classifications (elementary, middle, and high) of K-12 school buildings. Space types covered by the Guide include administrative and office areas, classrooms, hallways, restrooms, gymnasiums with locker rooms and showers, assembly spaces with either flat or tiered seating, libraries, and food preparation and dining areas.
Extract from the table of contents: an integrated design process; performance targets and case studies; design strategies and recommendations by climate zone; how to implement recommendations.
In the appendices: envelope thermal performance factors; international climatic zone definitions; commissioning information and examples.
