Constant communication among project team members throughout the design process is important for minimizing construction and operational costs and meeting the project’s goals. For example, changing a specification, such as the solar heat gain coefficient

Constant communication among project team members throughout the design process is important for minimizing construction and operational costs and meeting the project’s goals. For example, changing a specification, such as the solar heat gain coefficient of glazing, affects mechanical system sizing. These opportunities should be discussed with the team and incorporated into the design.
