CIBSE -- Energy Efficiency in Buildings - Guide F
Guide F has been a leading source of guidance on energy efficiency in buildings over the last five years. This revised edition of the guide (2004) has been brought up-to-date in the light of current domestic legislation, specifically Part L of the Building Regulations. CIBSE Applications Manual AM 5: Energy audits and surveys has been incorporated within this volume for completeness. This edition of Guide F covers both the energy requirements committed by the design and the energy costs in use, as design and management cannot be separated. It has become larger as some new sections have been added, such as the checklist Why buildings fail on energy, and there are useful practical enhancements including a design checklist, How to carry out an energy survey and Part C: Benchmarks. The Guide seeks to inform a very diverse audience and aims to be pertinent to many groups involved in buildings besides building services engineers, including building developers/financiers, specifiers, architects, surveyors, real estate agents, energy managers and consultants and building owners/operators. Guide F deals with the building as a whole. The technical content is guidance from an energy perspective and extra information is available elsewhere in the CIBSE Guides and other sources listed in the bibliographies at the end of each section. The Guide also complements energy efficiency publications provided under the Carbon Trusts Action Energy program (formerly the Energy Efficiency Best Practice program).
