ENERGY-CONSCIOUS DESIGN FEATURES FOR NEW CALIFORNIA STATE OFFICE BUILDING - SITE 1-C.

This paper describes the energy-conscious features used in the design of a new 160,000 square foot California State Office Building (Site 1-C). The building represents an integration of a series of simple and proven energy-conscious design concepts that contribute to an extremely energy efficient end result. Covered are implications in building configuration, office space layout, fenestration and shading device design, and electric lighting/control alternatives. The various energy-conscious features considered are discussed and particular solutions high-lighted. (Author abstract. )
