Energy Efficiency: DOE Begins Update of Commercial Buildings Standard

6/17/2014

Preliminary analysis from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) shows that ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-2013, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings contains energy savings over the 2010 standard of 8.5 percent source energy and 7.6 site energy. This is the first step by the DOE in issuing a ruling that could establish the 2013 standard as the commercial building reference standard for state building energy codes.
