Design to Achive ENERGY STAR

Designing commercial building projects to achieve the ENERGY STAR helps architects and their clients save money, save energy, prevent carbon emissions, and answer EPA's call to fight global warming.

This guide provides a start-to-finish framework for setting and achieving superior energy efficiency. Using this guide, architects and building owners will learn how to:

1. Set energy targets for design projects
2. Determine if projects achieve the desired energy goal
3. Close the loop by verifying the actual energy performance of completed buildings
