High Performance Building Guidelines
Andrea Woodner | Diane Pub Co | April 1999 | English | ISBN-10: 0788184687 | 146 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The central mission of the New York City Department of Design and Construction (DDC) is to deliver the City’s construction projects in a safe, expeditious, cost-effective manner, while maintaining the highest standards of architectural, engineering, and construction quality. These Guidelines identify opportunities to improve DDC’s business practices which will in turn yield the highest overall return for the City’s capital investments.
High performance buildings maximize operational energy savings; improve comfort, health, and safety of occupants and visitors; and limit detrimental effects on the environment. The Guidelines provide instruction in the new methodologies that form the underpinnings of high performance buildings. They further indicate how these practices may be accommodated within existing frameworks of capital project administration and facility management.
