The Energy Conservation for New Buildings Act of 1976, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 6831 et. seq. requires the US Department of Energy to issue energy conservation standards for the design of new commercial and residential buildings. The standards will be mandatory only for the design of new federal buildings, and will serve as voluntary guidelines for the design of new nonfederal buildings. This report documents the development and testing of a set of recommendations that will serve as the basis for the Congressionally-mandated conservation standard for new commercial buildings. The recommendations have been developed and tested over the past 18 months by a multidisciplinary project team. The report has been issued in four volumes consisting of 40 separate publications. This Appendix to Volume III documents a computer program named SKIN that was written for use in the development and testing of the Exterior Envelope Requirements of Section 5 of the proposed changes to ASHRAE Standard 90A-1980. The program applies only to the wall portion of the envelope requirements. In the new envelope format, the wall requirements are independent from the other envelope requirements.
