Explore opportunities to reduce energy demand by identifying all large, energy-using systems in the project. In a typical office, lighting can contribute 30%–50% of a space’s total energy use, with HVAC at 20%–30%, and the rest for equipment and power loa

Explore opportunities to reduce energy demand by identifying all large, energy-using systems in the project. In a typical office, lighting can contribute 30%–50% of a space’s total energy use, with HVAC at 20%–30%, and the rest for equipment and power loads. If your project’s scope allows envelope modification, explore window size and performance, shading systems, and daylight optimization.
