During the design process, architects and engineers are required to submit ranges of energy efficiency measures to BGS, with associated cost estimates, to allow the Bureau to assess the measures that each project can afford. Building envelopes are designed to maximize insulation and energy saving windows and doors. Mechanical systems are automatically controlled to regulate heating and cooling on the basis of demand. High efficiency boilers and motors are installed. Lighting fixtures have high efficiency ballasts and lamps and are regulated by motion sensors.
