Advanced energy design guide for small warehouses and self-storage buildings: achieving 30% energy savings toward a net zero energy building.

Author(s) : ASHRAE

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This guide, published in the Advanced Energy Design Guide series, is the fourth in a series of guides that addresses building types that represent major energy users in the commercial building stock. It provides a sensible approach to easily achieve advanced levels of energy savings without having to resort to detailed calculations or analysis for warehouses up to 50 000 ft2 and self-storage buildings that use unitary heating and air-conditioning equipment, which represent a significant amount of commercial warehouse space in the USA. The guide offers the tools, including recommendations, needed for achieving a 30% energy savings compared to buildings that meet the minimum requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-1999. Extract from the table of contents: an integrated process for achieving energy savings; recommendations by climate; technology examples and case studies; how to implement recommendations. In the appendices: envelope thermal performance factors; climatic zones for Mexico and Canada; and additional resources. This guide can be downloaded from: www.ashrae.org/publications/page/1604.
