Energy Efficiency Report Cards for Commercial Buildings
Posted by: admin / Category: Building Industry, Canadian Real Estate, LEED Certified BuildingImplementation possible by 2010
Commercial buildings in Canada could begin receiving energy efficiency report cards as early as 2010.
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers ASHRAE is developing an energy rating system that is making headway with federal and provincial governments.
ASHRAE’s Building Energy Labeling Implementation Committee presented its label prototype and the results of a pilot project at the association’s annual meeting in June.
The Building Energy Quotient or Building EQ focuses exclusively on energy use.
It provides an “as designed” asset rating for new buildings based on the components specified in the design, including mechanical systems, building envelope, orientation and day-lighting.
