The document discusses an integrated approach to building design, construction, and commissioning that focuses on energy efficiency. It covers establishing baseline energy usage, evaluating various efficiency strategies, and selecting and refining designs. Strategies discussed include passive solar design, building orientation, envelope insulation, daylighting, and active solar/photovoltaic systems. The approach aims to minimize total life-cycle costs while reducing pollution and moving toward more sustainable energy sources like solar and wind.
