Summary
Promoting energy awareness for passive commercial buildings remains the primary focus of TVA's architectural outreach program. The major program activities toward these ends are: (1) delivery on a continuing basis of design assistance and technical assistance to the decisionmakers in the commercial buildings sector, and (2) preparation and publication through professional associations and commercial publishers of building energy design manuals for individual building types. As these documents are completed, they will be made available to those who have the initiative and capability to make the necessary and critical decisions on the design and efficiency of tomorrow's new buildings. This program has the potential to influence both existing buildings and new buildings constructed annually in the Valley by a much greater degree than is possible through direct assistance. This project will, both directly and through indirect influence, be worth more than it costs. Its value lies not only in the amount of energy saved on buildings directly but certainly by its secondary impact on the buildings designed by architects and engineers who participate in the project and go away understanding more about energy design in buildings.
