- Abstract
- The design phase of the GSA-Manchester Building included extensive analysis of the building design and operation to determine the potential for energy conservation. Described in this report are highlights and a summary of the calculations performed during the design phase. The analysis included a study of the exterior shell, ventilation rate, lighting and occupancy levels, room temperature controls, and nighttime flushing of the building using outdoor air, on the predicted yearly energy consumption of the building.
