114 LESSON #6 REDUCE EAST / WEST GLAZING View of SW corner of the Janey. East elevation party wall - 0% glazing. West Elevation looks like a lot of glazing, but there is very little 24%.

117 LESSON #9 DESIGN PROCESS 1. FINDING THE RIGHT MEP SYSTEMS REQUIRES MORE EARLY ANALYSIS TO AVOID COSTLY DESIGN REVISIONS. 2. PRE-DESIGN / SCHEMATIC DESIGN IS MORE INVOLVED AS IT MUST INCLUDE ENERGY MODELING. 3. ENERGY MODELING IS MORE INVOLVED AND CRITICAL. Though(Kiln(is(certainly(an( R&D(effort(for(all( involved,(we(have(nohced( a(few(areas(that(are( different(than(gbd s( typical (design(process.( ( From(a(developer s(point( of(view,(some(of(these( items(result(in(more( design(hme(than( typical ( high(performing( standards(such(as(leed.((
