The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) publishes a set of Advanced Energy Design Guides (AEDG) for buildings. These user-friendly design guides for architects and engineers provide information needed to achieving energy savings resulting through design. This webinar will explain the various AEDGs, how to use them, and how they can be implemented to achieve a high-performance building. Several step-by-step case studies will be presented to demonstrate how to effectively implement these design guides.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Understand the purpose of the AEDGs.
Know to which building types the AEDGs can be applied.
Discover how the AEDGs can be implemented in a hybrid process with energy modeling to achieve high levels of energy efficiency.
AGENDA:
Provide a background on AEDGs
Introduce the Integrated Process
Examine AEDGS with Colorado's various Climate Zones
Review the AEDGS Recommendation Table
Offer suggestions on implementing recommendations
Discuss Case Studies
Investigate LEED Coordination
Analyze the Future of AEDGs
