Description/Abstract | A new graphic technique developed to help architects and engineers design more energy-efficient buildings is presented.^An energy-efficient design includes two interrelated elements: physical design characteristics which minimize testing, cooling, and lighting loads; and mechanical and electrical subsystems which meet energy loads efficiently.^The technique focuses on manipulation of design variables to effectively reduce excessive heat gains and losses.^The technique, termed a visual one, is designed to show how a building uses energy.^The technique described can also be done manually. |
