[an error occurred while processing this directive] This report from the National Institute of Building Sciences to the U.S. Congress summarizes high performance buildings that conserve energy while improving environmental impact, functionality, human comfort and productivity. The High Performance Building Council was formed in April 2007 to assess the state of knowledge in building performance and constraints imposed by design and performance standards. This study emphasizes the building life cycle that spans "design, construction, operation, occupancy, repair, usability, extendibility and retirement." Indoor air quality, energy conservation, accessibility, enhancing worker productivity, historic preservation, and aesthetics were identified as important goals. Recommendations are provided.
