The Design Intent Tool is a database that provides a structured
approach to recording design decisions that impact a lab's energy
efficiency. Owners and designers alike can plan, monitor, and verify
that a facility's design intent is being met during each stage of
the design process. Additionally, the Design Intent Tool gives commissioning
agents, facility operators, and future renovators an understanding
of how the building, and its subsystems, were, and are, intended
to operate. Thus, tracking and benchmarking energy efficiency performance
is enhanced.
