1. Optimization of building foot print to maximize daylighting, orientation
    and massing.
 
2. HO T-5 indirect lighting at .5 W/sf in conjunction with task lighting at .2W/sf.
 
3. Shallow floor plates to maximize daylight penetration.
 
4. Continuously dimming daylight control.
 
5. Multi-pane high performance glazing - clear triple pane with two spectrally  
    specific selective AFG Ti-R low -e coatings. Fiberglass frames.
