Energy efficiency requirements in current commercial building energy codes vary across states, and most states have not yet adopted the newest energy standards. Current state energy code adoptions range across all editions of the ASHRAE 90.1 Standard (-1999, -2001, -2004, and -2007). Some states do not have a code requirement for energy efficiency, leaving it up to the locality or jurisdiction to set its own requirement. The ability for states to quantify the relative costs and benefits of past or future code adoptions can inform policymakers with respect to the outcomes from their decisions. The Engineering Laboratory's Applied Economics Office has developed an extensive database, known as the Building Industry Reporting and Design for Sustainability (BIRDS) database, which allows the comparison of the energy efficiency and sustainability of alternative building designs based on different editions of ASHRAE Standard 90.1. The expansive database is a compilation of multiple data sources, including results from 13 680 whole building energy simulations for 12 commercial building prototypes in 228 cities across all U.S. states, building construction costs from RS Means and Whitestone databases, energy cost data collected from the Energy Information Administration, and emissions data collected from the Environmental Protection Agency. This report documents the prototype building designs and the life cycle costing and carbon assessment data and approaches implemented in the BIRDS building energy efficiency and sustainability database.

This report was conducted by the Applied Economics Office in the Engineering Laboratory (EL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The report is designed to document the assumptions used in creating the whole building energy simulations used for new commercial building prototypes. The intended audience is the building research community, particularly those concerned with energy efficiency in commercial building designs.

esidential building energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important in U.S. energy policy. Analyzing the effectiveness of potential energy efficiency improvements in the residential sector involves running whole building energy simulations for alternative building designs. Such analysis requires detailed building design characteristics including climate, fuel type, energy technologies, and design improvements. For broad studies of the U.S. residential sector, prototypical designs representing "typical" residential buildings are necessary to provide the basis for this detailed analysis. This report defines two prototype detached residential house designs based on the 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). These prototypes can be used as baselines from which to analyze homes built to older IECC codes as well as to estimate the energy savings and sustainability impacts from increasing residential building energy efficiency beyond current state energy codes. These prototypes can also be used as a framework for developing additional prototype designs.

Despite recent improvements in energy efficiency being made in new build, it is important that the existing commercial building sector also take action to meet emission reduction targets. The objectives and challenges of such action will reduce the risk of the sector becoming obsolete due to high energy use and poor environmental performance. This book presents a theory-based, practice-support methodology to deal with sustainable retrofitting opportunities for existing commercial buildings in warm climates using bioclimatic design as the basis. The book has four main parts, focusing on eco-design and renovation, bioclimatic retrofitting, technological and behavioural change and case studies of retrofitting exemplars. In the first part, the context of climate change effects on design and renovation at the city scale is discussed. The second part looks at bioclimatic retrofitting as a 'design guide' for existing buildings, highlighting the significance of architectural design and engineering systems for energy performance. The technological and behavioural contexts of the existing building sector – policies, modelling, monitoring and trend analysis in respect to energy and environmental performance – are covered in part three. The final part gives some case studies showing the effectiveness of strategies suggested for effective environmental performance. This book is a must-have guide for all involved in the design and engineering of retrofitting projects in warm climates.

Whilst sustainability is already an important driver in the new building sector, this book explores how those involved in refurbishment of commercial building are moving this agenda forward. It includes chapters by developers, surveyors, cost consultants, architects, building physicists and other players, on the role they each can play in enabling refurbishment to be commercially, environmentally and socially sustainable. Case studies from northern climates show real examples of different building types, ages and uses and will demonstrate what action has been taken to create more sustainable buildings. The chapters raise and discuss all the relevant issues that need to be considered in retrofitting decision making. Changing standards, planning, process management, financing, technical issues, site organisation, commissioning and subsequent building management are all considered. The book demonstrates that buildings can be made comfortable to occupy, easy to manage and low in energy demand and environmental impact.

This book develops a model to evaluate and assess life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions based on typical Australian commercial building design options. It also draws comparisons between some of the many green building rating tools that have been developed worldwide to support sustainable development. These include: the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED(R)) by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) by the Building Research Establishment, Comprehensive Assessment System for Building Environmental Efficiency (CASBEE) by the Japanese Sustainable Building Consortium, and Green Star Environmental Rating System by the Green Building Council of Australia. Life-cycle assessment (LCA), life-cycle energy consumption (LCE), and life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions (LGE) form the three pillars of life-cycle studies, which have been used to evaluate environmental impacts of building construction. Assessment of the life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of buildings is of one of the significant obstacles in evaluating green building performance. This book explains the methodology for achieving points for the categories associated with reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the Australian Green Star rating system. The model for the assessment uses GaBi 8.7 platform along with Visual Basic in Microsoft Excel and shows the relationship between the building's energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions released during the lifetime of the building. The data gathered in the book also illustrates that the green building design and specifications are becoming more popular and are being increasingly utilised in Australia. This book is important reading for anyone interested in sustainable construction, green design and buildings and life cycle assessment tools.
