OSTI ID:7353481
The Public Buildings Service of the General Services Administration (GSA) has responsibility for acquisition, construction, and management of Federally owned and leased buildings. Anticipating White House or Congressional Action in early 1974 to narrow the energy supply/demand gap, GSA contracted for development of guidelines on energy conservation for new Federal office buildings. The initial guidelines (see EAPA 1:01031) were designed for use by architects and engineers and by GSA in reviewing and evaluating these designs. This second edition (July 1975) has the benefit of careful review and comment from individuals representing governmental agencies, professional architectural and engineering design firms, manufacturing firms, and other organizations concerned with the building industry. This edition has been revised in three areas: (1) a section concerning computer software programs useful for energy conservation design and analysis has been added as Appendix A; (2) a section that outlines the present state-of-the-art with regard to solar energy has been included in Appendix C; and (3) the basic information contained in the original edition has been arranged with additional subject headings to assist the user of the document. A list of project team members, contributors, and workshop participants for both the original and updated editions are contained in Appendix F. An analysis made during the design of the Manchester, New Hampshire project by GSA/PBS established that it was possible to achieve 60 percent savings in energy consumption over conventional construction by careful attention to energy conserving construction features, environmental systems, and methods of operation.
