New ASHRAE Research Outlines Measures to Reach Toward Net Zero Energy
Answers question of how energy efficient buildings can become if first cost is not considered
ATLANTA — Application of 30 specific energy savings measures across all building types and climate zones resulted in cutting energy use by nearly half, according to results of newly approved research funded by ASHRAE.
The national weighted change is 47.8 percent more energy efficient than Standard 90.1-2013 based on site energy and 47.8 percent more energy efficient than 90.1-2013 based on source energy.
