Advanced energy design guide for small to medium office buildings: achieving 50% 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 and prepared under ASHRAE Special Project 133, focuses on small to medium office buildings up to 100,000 ft2. Office buildings include a wide range of office types and related activities such as administrative, professional, government, bank or other financial services, and medical offices without medical diagnostic equipment. These facilities typically include all or some of the following space types: open plan and private offices, conference and meeting spaces, corridors and transition areas, lounge and recreation areas, lobbies, active storage areas, restrooms, mechanical and electrical rooms, stairways, and other spaces.
The specific energy-saving recommendations in this Guide are summarized in a single table for each climate zone and will allow contractors, consulting engineers, architects, and designers to easily achieve advanced levels of energy savings without detailed energy modelling or analyses.
In addition, it provides a greater emphasis on integrated design as a necessary component in achieving 50% energy savings and devotes an entire chapter to integrated-design strategies that can be used by teams who do not wish to follow the specific energy-saving recommendations.
Case studies and technical examples are sprinkled throughout the guide to illustrate the recommendations and to demonstrate the technologies in real-world applications.
