Beyond Code – Commercial Building Design: ASHRAE's Advanced Energy Design Guides - ASHRAE has published six Advanced Energy Design Guides for small to medium-sized commercial buildings that provide prescriptive design guidance to exceed the requirements of ASHRAEs Standard 90.1-1999 by 30%. These guides address small office buildings, retail buildings, warehouses, K-12 schools, highway lodging, and small healthcare facilities.
