New Advanced Energy Design Guide for K-12 Schools

ASHRAE is taking the lead by publishing—in partnership with the American Institute of Architects (AIA), the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and with financial and technical support from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)—a new series of advanced energy design guides (AEDGs) focused on zero energy buildings.

Advanced Energy Design Guide for K–12 School Buildings: Achieving Zero Energy (K–12 ZE AEDG) is the first in the series.

The Guide provides case studies, technical examples and how-to tips to address specific project needs including building and site planning, envelope, daylighting, electric lighting, plug loads, kitchens and food service, water heating, HVAC and renewable generation.
