Cutting Building Energy Use in Half with Renewables

Hospitals use a lot of energy to save lives. In fact, they use more than 836 trillion BTUs of energy every year and produce more than 2.5 times the carbon dioxide emissions of commercial office buildings. The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Commercial Buildings Program and DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) are working with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the buildings industry to find ways to reduce the energy intensity of large hospitals, schools, and retail buildings by 50%. "The Advanced Energy Design Guidelines [AEDG] series represents the best practices in industry for energy efficiency in buildings," NREL Senior Research Engineer and AEDG Project Chair Shanti Pless said. "Our job is to develop those best practices, along with the professionals in the industry, and put them together in an ea...
