Commercial Lighting Guides
These were developed as companions to the Advanced Energy Design Guides from ASHRAE. They are alternative methods of beating ASHRAE Standard 90.1 (1999) by at least 30%. If you are aiming at getting a rebate from your local electric Utility, going for a tax credit of working on LEED points, you will find these incredibly useful.
