Advanced energy design guide for medium to big box retail 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 guidance and recommendations to reduce the total energy use in medium to big box retail buildings by 50% or more, on a site-energy basis, using a building that complies with ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004 as the minimum code-compliant baseline. The energy savings goal is to be achieved in each climate location rather than at an aggregated national average. The 50% savings is determined based on whole-building site energy savings, which includes process and plug loads. The guide is intended for box retail stores ranging in size from 20,000 to 100,000 ft2 but also applies to smaller or larger retail stores with similar space types. Space types covered by the guide include vestibules, administrative and office areas, general merchandise sales floors, fitting/dressing rooms, specialty sales areas, corridors and transition areas, restrooms, mechanical rooms, break rooms, conference rooms, and stocking areas.
Extract from the table of contents: integrated design process; applying energy modeling and benchmarking strategies; design strateies and recommendations by climate zone; how to implement recommendations.
In the appendices: envelope thermal performance factors; international climatic zone definitions; commissioning information and examples.
