Technical Support Document: Development of the Advanced Energy Design Guide for Large Hospitals-50 Percent Energy Savings.

摘要

This Technical Support Document (TSD) describes the process and methodology for the development of the Advanced Energy Design Guide for Large Hospitals: Achieving 50% Energy Savings Toward a Net Zero Energy Buildings (AEDG-LH) (ASHRAE et al. 2012). The AEDG-LH provides recommendations for achieving 50% whole-building energy savings in large hospital buildings over levels achieved by following ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings (Standard 90.1-2004) (ASHRAE 2004b). The AEDG-LH was developed in collaboration with ASHRAE, AIA, IES, USGBC, ASHE, and DOE.
