Figure 7 — Long Description

Drawing of building blocks representing the amount of influence specific design aspects have on energy costs.

This is a 3-dimensional drawing of three rectangular boxes stacked on top of each other in the shape of a pyramid. The two visible sides of the bottom and largest block read: site orientation and building configuration building envelope. The middle block reads: daylighting and light fixtures lighting controls. The smallest block on the top reads: HVAC and electrical. The image is showing how much influence each decision has on the long-term energy costs; bigger blocks having more.
