This standard sets forth design requirements for the efficient use of energy in new buildings intended for human occupancy. The requirements apply to the building envelope, distribution of energy, systems and equipment for auxiliaries, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning, service water heating, lighting, and energy managing. This standard applies to all new buildings or portions of buildings that provide facilities or shelter for hum an occupancy and use energy primarily to provide human comfort, except single- and multi-family residential buildings of three or fewer stories above grade.
