Information Type: Application Guides and How-To Handbooks; Design Guides

Date: June 2012

Goals

The AERGs are designed to address key segments of the U.S. commercial building stock: retail store, office buildings, K-12 schools, grocery stores, and healthcare facilities. The guides’ general project planning considerations are applicable nationwide; the energy and cost savings estimates for recommended EEMs were developed based on energy simulations and cost estimates tailored to five distinct climate zones. The results of these analyses are presented for individual measures, and for packages of recommended measures for three project types: existing building commissioning, whole-building retrofits, and staged retrofits.
