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.
