"This Guide is intended for grocery stores ranging in size from 25@000 to 65@000 ft2 with medium- and low-temperature refrigerated cases and walk-ins@ but it also applies to smaller or larger stores with similar space types. Space types covered by the Guide include dry goods@ meat/dairy@ produce@ deli@ bakery@ restrooms@ mechanical rooms@ meeting/break rooms@ offices@ corridors@ vestibules@ and back-of-house storage@ including receiving areas. This Guide does not cover parking garages@ campus utilities such as chilled water and steam@ water use@ or sewage disposal. The primary focus of this Guide is new construction@ but recommendations may be equally applicable to stores undergoing complete renovation and in part to many other renovation@ addition@ remodeling@ and modernization projects (including changes to one or more systems in existing buildings). Included in the Guide are recommendations for the design of the following: Building opaque envelope and fenestration Lighting systems@ including electrical interior and exterior lights and daylighting Heating@ ventilation@ and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems Building automation and controls Outdoor air requirements Service water heating Plug and process loads Commercial kitchens@ including cooking appliances and exhaust hoods Commercial refrigeration systems@ including refrigerated display cases@ walk-ins@ compressor systems@ condensers@ heat recovery systems@ and related control systems Quality assurance@ including commissioning and measurement and verification Additional savings recommendations not necessary for 50% savings are discussed in the ""Additional Bonus Savings"" section of Chapter 5. The recommendation tables in Chapter 4 do not include all the components listed in ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004 (ASHRAE 2004). Though this Guide focuses only on the primary energy systems within a building@ the underlying energy analysis assumes that all the other components and system comply with the minimum design criteria in ASHRAE/ IESNA Standard 90.1 (ASHRAE 2013a) and ASHRAE Standard 62.1@ Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality (ASHRAE 2013b). In addition@ this Guide is not intended to substitute for rating systems or references that address the full range of sustainability issues in food retail design@ such as acoustics@ productivity@ sales rates@ indoor air quality@ water efficiency@ landscaping@ and transportation@ except as they relate to energy use. Nor is it a comprehensive design text. The Guide assumes good design skills and expertise in grocery store design."
