Program Document ·
OSTI ID:1721804
The Commercial Buildings for Architects Resource Guide provides key energy code information tailored for architects, and was designed in partnership with the American Institute of Architects (AIA). It offers guidance on how architects can support adoption of new or updated energy codes, and resources needed to enable compliance with the adopted code. The guide includes information on the importance of architects in the development and compliance verification processes, the interface between codes and the design process, design and compliance tools, and building construction and commissioning. It also includes many other resources to help architects understand the important role that the design process of energy codes plays in addressing our energy, economic and environmental challenges.
