The document discusses the San Francisco Federal Building project. It highlights that the building (1) uses natural ventilation instead of air conditioning, achieving over 50% better energy performance than required, (2) had a building information model used for design, analysis, documentation and fabrication, and (3) sought exceptional architectural design, building performance, project delivery and lifecycle cost benefits.
