TECHNICAL FEATURE
on daytime and nighttime
demand for one of their highperformance office buildings.5
By using these in conjunction
with PEI ranges, modelers can
easily set targets for buildings
during both design and operation phases. An PEI of 1.0 ultimately represents a building
with no unregulated energy
use-a building that could be
wholly passively conditioned
and lit-our version of energy
nirvana.
