Sustainability in Cold Climates
During the last five years, ASHRAE has significantly addressed sustainability and energy efficiency in buildings with the ultimate goal to develop net zero energy buildings by 2020 or 2030. This article describes the design approaches and technologies required to achieve high performance, low energy designs suited to cold climates that are 50% better than Standard 90.1-2007.Units: DualCitation: ASHRAE Journal, vol. 52, no. 1, January 2010
