Advanced energy design guide for grocery stores : achieving 50% energy savings toward a net zero energy building

"Provides recommendations to achieve 50% energy savings when compared with the minimum code requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004; applies to grocery stores with gross floor areas between 25,000 and 65,000 ft2 with medium- and low-temperature refrigerated cases and walk-ins"-- Abstract: "Provides recommendations to achieve 50% energy savings when compared with the minimum code requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004; applies to grocery stores with gross floor areas between 25,000 and 65,000 ft2 with medium- and low-temperature refrigerated cases and walk-ins" Advanced Energy Design Guide for Grocery Stores is the fifth in a series designed to provide recommendations for achieving 50% energy savings over the minimum code requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004. The energy savings target of 50% is the next step toward achieving a net zero energy building, which is defined as a building that, on an annual basis, draws from outside resources equal or less energy than it provides using on-site renewable energy sources. ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004 provides the fixed reference point and serves as a consistent baseline and scale for all of the 50% Advanced Energy Design Guides.
