The latest publication in the Advanced Energy Design Guide series will help guide the construction of warehouses using off-the-shelf technology that can cut energy use 30% or more annually

The Advanced Energy Design Guide for Small Warehouses and Self-Storage Buildings, published by ASHRAE, gives guidance to architects, engineers, and others on building design teams on how to use best design practices to create energy-saving warehouses.
 
The book is intended for use by contractors, designers, and owners of small warehouse buildings. It covers an integrated design process for delivering energy efficient warehouses, as well as sets of prescriptive requirements for efficient warehouses. Case studies of exemplary warehouse designs are also provided, as well as detailed “how-to” design guidance.

The Guide covers warehouses up to 50,000 ft² (4600 m²) and self-storage buildings that use unitary heating and air-conditioning equipment.
