This thought-provoking book presents a thoroughly researched and documented history of nonresidential energy codes in Colorado. It explores the influence of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 90-75 on the state's energy conservation standards for nonresidential buildings. Drawing upon case studies of selected buildings in three geographic regions of Colorado, the author analyzes the effectiveness of the standards and quantifies energy savings due to their implementation. The book also examines the impact of the standards on building construction costs, industry compliance, and local enforcement. Through a comprehensive investigation of the state's experience with nonresidential energy codes, this book provides valuable insights into the development, implementation, and implications of energy-efficient building practices. Its findings contribute to the broader understanding of energy conservation policies and the role of building codes in promoting sustainable construction practices.
