Reference Specifications for Energy and Resource Efficiency
|
About the Project
Architects, engineers, and lighting designers generally wish to include energy efficient elements in their designs, but they don’t have the information readily available. The goal of this research project is to provide a resource that is directly useful to building designers. We will develop a set of reference specifications for users to select from and insert into their construction documents. The specifications for building materials address issues such as embodied energy (the energy to manufacture, deliver and install a product), indoor air quality, recycled content, recycleability and visible light reflectance.
