Book excerpt: The Engineer Research and Development Center of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory are developing target energy budgets and design guides with a prescriptive path to achieve 30% energy savings over a baseline built to the minimum requirements of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004. This project covers eight building types in 15 U.S. climate zones. The building types include barracks, administrative buildings, a maintenance facility, a dining facility, a child development center, and an Army reserve center. This paper focuses on the design guide for one type of barracks called unaccompanied enlisted personal housing, which are similar to apartment buildings with double occupancy units.
