LED Lighting
When designers of the first net zero energy school in the U.S. considered how they would approach the lighting design differently using today’s LED technology, the results extended far beyond just switching out the lightbulbs.
Robert Anthony Hans, P.E., and Kenny Stanfield, AIA
IAQ in HPB Case Studies
Good indoor environmental quality is a key goal of high performing buildings, but often is not factored into sustainable building discussions and programs.
Kevin Y. Teichman, Ph.D., and Andrew K. Persily, Ph.D., Fellow ASHRAE, and Steven J. Emmerich, Member ASHRAE
Rainwater: The Untapped Resource
Energy and water are inextricably linked. Roughly one quad of energy per year could be saved in the United States if we reduced water consumption by 10%.
Michael Nicklas, FAIA
Designing Efficient Lighting
Office, retail and service buildings are the largest consumers of energy in the U.S., and between 44% and 59% of that energy is consumed by lighting.
H.J. Enck, LEED AP, CxAP, HBDP
Building Energy Use Intensity
Building EUIs are valuable energy performance metrics for the design, energy modeling and assessment of building energy performance.
