ASHRAE has just released the next Advanced Energy Design Guide. This zero energy guide focuses on what is needed to achieve zero energy in office buildings. The session will focus on the EUI targets focusing on the selection and design of the HVAC systems. It will also cover lighting, plug loads, and envelope design as it applies to the HVAC system to ensure that the office building can be built to the zero energy target. How-to tips and practical advice will be presented as well as successful zero energy case studies.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe a process for creating a zero energy office building
  2. Apply a set of Energy Use Intensity targets to achieve a zero energy office building
  3. Provide an overview of the Advanced Energy Design guide for Zero Energy office buildings
  4. Describe the interactions between envelope, lighting, plug loads, and HVAC design and the integrated roles that architects and engineers should follow to achieve low-energy design.
