The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers Inc. (ASHRAE) announced that 100,000 copies of its advanced energy design guide series are now in circulation.
The series includes publications on small retail and small office buildings, K-12 school buildings and warehouses and self-storage units.
The books provide guidance on how to achieve 30% energy savings over building code minimum based on American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/ASHRAE/Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) Standard 90.1-1999.
The guides are developed by ASHRAE, the American Institute of Architects, Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA) and the U.S. Green Building Council, with support from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
More than 88,000 of the publications have been obtained via free download since January. The downloads are available at http://www.ashrae.org/freeaedg.
"ASHRAE is committed to energy optimization and producing guidance that will help move the building industry toward market-viable net-zero energy and carbon neutral buildings," Kent Peterson, ASHRAE president, said.
"The call for these high-performing buildings is transforming our industry, and the guidance in the advanced energy design guide series is useable technology guidance to help owners, architects and engineers in accomplishing high-performing buildings."
Upcoming publications in the series include 30% guidance books for highway lodging, existing buildings and small health care facilities.
