New Publication Provides Energy Efficiency Guidance For K-12 Schools
A full 16 percent of schools districts’ controllable costs is spent
on energy. A new publication written specifically for K-12 school buildings
will
aid design teams in constructing energy-smart schools using off-the-shelf technology
that can cut energy use 30 percent or more annually.
The Advanced Energy Design Guide for K-12 School Buildings, published by
the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers,
instructs architects, engineers and others on how to use best design practices
to create
energy-saving buildings. Written in partnership with 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, the book is available
for free in electronic format at www.ashrae.org/freeaedg. Hard copies are available
for purchase.
