Actions ASHRAE Is Taking In addition to our research programs and support for technology develop ment, ASHRAE is on an aggressive path forward to improve both new and existing buildings following our Road map to Sustainability and Vision 2020. The path is centered on six key ele ments: 1. The Advanced Energy Design Guide series (AEDG); 2. ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings; 3. Standard 189.1, Standard for the Design of High-Performance, Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings; 4. Standard 100, Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings; 5. Commissioning and retrocommis sioning guidance; and 6. Operations and maintenance guid ance. * * * * * * * * * * * American Samoa Guam N.
