	Advanced Energy Design Guides for 50% energy savings in K-12 schools
	The U.S. Department of Energy recently announced the release of the second installment in a series of four 50% Advanced Energy Design Guides (AEDGs). The Advanced Energy Design Guide for 50% energy savings in K-12 schools is now available for download. This latest guide will help architects, engineers, and contractors design and build highly efficient K-12 school buildings, saving taxpayer dollars. The 50% AEDG series provides a practical approach to designing schools and other major commercial building types that achieve 50% energy savings compared to the commercial building energy code used in many parts of the nation. These commercial building guides support President Obama's goal to reduce energy use in commercial buildings 20% by 2020 and will help drive demand for energy-saving products made in the United States.
