Abstract
The General Services Administration built the Norris Cotton Federal Office Building in Manchester, New Hampshire and chose it as a demonstration project for studying the effectiveness of energy conservation techniques in the design and operation of a contemporary office building. User acceptance of both the innovative and conventional design features in the building was measured by administering a questionnaire to employees shortly after occupancy of the building and again eight months later.
