‘daylight harvesting’, is recognized as an effective means to reduce the artificial lighting requirements of nondomestic buildings. Daylight utilization may allow energy savings compared to electric lighting due to its higher luminous efficacy. For a given quantity of illumination, light from clear ...
Lighting requirements to enhance productivity and comfort of occupants have been proposed for a green building standard from ASHRAE, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES). ANSI/ASHRAE/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1-2011, Standard for the Design of High-P...
Surprisingly, even though TBCx is becoming a more common process in all types of commercial construction, according to the Whole Building Design Guide (WBDG), there are currently no building code requirements at a national level that mandate Building Commissioning. But although no current U.S. mo...
All things building-related are codified, and bedrooms are no exception. The International Residential Code (IRC), which is updated every three years, catalogues the requirements for a bedroom. It covers such things as square footage, ceiling height, electrical outlets, lighting and ventilation, clo...

adapting code requirements, and “retrofit-ready” solutions [18,24,42]. Some reviews specifically recommend ground-source HPs because of their efficiency, especially with the availability of geothermal energy [24] and the possibility of coupling with high-temperature heating terminals used in existing...
