Conference ·
OSTI ID:1043771

This paper presents a set of 15 best practices for owners, designers, and construction teams of office buildings to reach high performance goals for energy efficiency, while maintaining a competitive budget. They are based on the recent experiences of the owner and design/build team for the Research Support Facility (RSF) on National Renewable Energy Facility's campus in Golden, CO, which showthat achieving this outcome requires each key integrated team member to understand their opportunities to control capital costs.
