New Buildings Energy Performance Improvement through Incorporation of New Proven Technologies into Standard Designs. Standard Design for TEMF

ISSUES: Current Army Standard Designs don't specify potential energy saving and sustainable design opportunities, available energy saving technologies, and technologies resulting in better indoor air quality and thermal comfort; * Building envelope, its elements and energy/ventilation systems are not optimized for heating/cooling loads reduction; * Standard Designs require significant engineering efforts and budget for its application to each specific site and its optimization for efficient energy performance in the given climate...inconsistently applied by a variety of A/E firms and there is no USACE process to police A/Es.
