December 28, 2007—ASHRAE has launched a new magazine, High Performing Buildings, to help decision-makers in the building community learn about the latest developments in technologies and energy-efficient design and operation.
The magazine is targeted at building owners, facility managers, architects, and engineers and features working case studies of exemplary buildings developed by leading practitioners in the sustainability movement. says the association. Also included in each article is a “lessons learned” section where building designers and operators explain what went right, what went wrong, how problems were resolved and what could have been done better in featured building projects.
ASHRAE’s goal is to advance the concept of integrated building design with a focus on measured building performance, not just design of sustainable buildings. The cases studies featured will provide performance data, verifying actual sustainability performance. The magazine will be distributed quarterly both in print and electronically.
