This book is a guide to the conservation and control of energy use in buildings for national energy planners and researchers, architects, engineers, building owners, and managers. Historical information on energy use in buildings and a new framework for classifying the roles and concerns of all groups involved in building energy performance are presented. It also permits access to detailed information for those with particular interests: strategies and techniques of energy management, successful conservation programs, energy prediction methods and factors affecting energy consumption, and the underlying principles of building energy performance standards. Results of field surveys on large numbers of commercial and institutional buildings, indexes of building energy performance and relevant data, and Sl and l-P units supplement this guide. CONTENTS: Energy and Building -- Evolving Concerns. Building Energy Performance -- A New Framework. National Concerns -Institutional Roles and Energy Standards. Owner Concerns. Designer Concerns -- Capital Energy Requirements. Designer Concerns -- Systems Energy Consumption. User Concerns -- Energy Management and Analysis. Building Energy Performance -- Future Concerns.
