readily evaluate and achieve energy-based design targets. Decision-makers will
learn how to set realistic goals for energy use and compare simulated results

results to top performing buildings using Target Finder. The Target Finder and
integrated design assistance has been developed for office buildings and other
medium to large scale buildings such as schools, hospitals and hotels and
