| 摘要： | Since the mid-1970s, the Department of Defense (DOD) has pursued a strategy of increasing the energy efficiency of its buildings, both in new designs and existing facilities. Designers have effectively produced more energy-efficient buildings, but are also under constant pressure to reduce facility delivery times, first cost, and maintenance requirements. They must also address design considerations such as aesthetics, indoor air quality, and occupant comfort--factors that can be at odds with minimum energy consumption. Modern information technology offers efficient ways to consolidate, organize, and share the content of laws, regulations, and guidance and implementation documents that relate to building design. Computer programs can help building designers incorporate energy-efficient design measures into new and existing buildings, and help coordinate energy-related considerations with other competing design factors. This study reviewed current practices and technologies that may help building designers better incorporate energy efficiency into all design phases. |
