Description

Notes the large amounts of energy consumed by correctional facilities such as prisons. States that to minimise future utility costs, an integrated energy planning approach for a new detention facility is highly desirable at the earliest stages of programming. Notes that when energy-efficiency criteria are integrated early in a planning and design process, significant energy and operating cost savings can be achieved with little or no additional construction costs. Explains how a planning document in the form of an energy programme of requirements can be incorporated into the solicitation of design proposals and can be very effective in ensuring energy-efficient design for a new facility.
