The Energy Manager’s Role in the Design-build-operation Process

Abstract

The energy management input during the design and construction
process of a facility is hit or miss at best, which results in reactionary
energy management sometime during the lifetime of the facility. It is the
intent of this article to recommend ways that the energy manager can
assist in all phases of the building process to achieve an energy efficient
design that will withstand the future challenges of a changing energy
economy.
