USGBC LEED Energy Modeling Guidelines for Cold Storage and Refrigerated Warehouses
The IACSC-IARW Construction/Codes Committee created a formal guidance document that designers of cold storage and refrigerated facilities can use to certify buildings under the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED rating system, approved by the USGBC.
Projects using the guidelines can potentially receive up to 19 points if they are at least 10% more efficient than the baseline established in the guide. IACSC and IARW recommend that designers notify USGBC if they intend to use the guidelines. The guidelines are available for complimentary download for members and nonmembers.
