- Abstract
- One-third of the energy consumed in the United States is used to heat and cool buildings and to provide illumination, water heating, and other building services. About 40 percent of this energy can be saved without reducing building performance. The first comprehensive and nationally applicable design standards for energy conservation in buildings have recently been developed and applied, and they offer the opportunity for substantial energy savings.
