Advanced Energy Design Guide for K-12 School Buildings: 30% Energy Savings

Achieving 30% Energy Savings Towards a Net Zero Energy Building

Energy costs typically account for 16% of a districts controllable costs. This Guide will help your facilities staff design new construction, renovations, remodeling and modernization projects that use substantially less energy-at least 30% less-than those built to minimum energy code requirements. Achieving this 30% target is not only possible, but easy, and the Guide includes case studies that show schools around the country that have achieved or exceeded the target.
