FACTORS AFFECTING THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY BUILDING

Orientation

Massing

Building envelope

Material selections

HVAC systems

Lighting systems

Water Efficiency


Could I power my building with Photovoltaics and wind

power?

How sensitive is my design to

weather?

Which design will use the least energy?

Building Up or Out ?

Which envelope material will reduce

energy the most?

Will adding better windows & insulation

help reduce carbon and energy use?

Which way should I orient my design to use the least amount of energy?

How much carbon will my design emit

per year?

How much energy will my design use per

year?
