| To encourage energy-efficient design in a range of building types, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers Inc. (ASHRAE) and its partnering organizations have made available for free the advanced energy design guide series.
Electronic versions of the newest book in the series, Advanced Energy Design Guides for K-12 School Buildings, as well as the existing guides on small office and small retail buildings are available for free download at http://www.ashrae.org/freeaedg.
Future guides, including one focused on warehouses to be published this spring, will be available for free electronic download as well.
"Energy efficiency is still a vast and underutilized energy resource that is essential to the long-term survival of our world," said Kent Peterson, ASHRAE president.
"Buildings consume approximately 40[%] of the primary energy in the [U.S.]. As part of our energy efficiency market deployment strategy, we want to get this valuable building guidance into the marketplace and into the hands of owners, contractors and design teams," Peterson said.
According to Peterson, free distribution of the advanced energy design guide series will help educate the marketplace about building energy-efficient buildings that use less energy than those built to the minimum code requirements.
ASHRAE said the K-12 guide was sent to nearly 14,000 school systems around the country to assist with the design of energy-efficient schools that create safe, comfortable learning environments.
Partnering organizations include the American Institute of Architects, the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America, the U.S. Green Building Council and the U.S. Department of Energy.
Hard copies of all of the guides also are available for purchase. For more information, visit http://www.ashrae.org/freeaedg or http://www.ashrae.org/bookstore.
