Factor analysis of semantic differential data, with forty-eight cases of collegiate lecture rooms psychologically assessed by students during regular classes, has established that distance evaluation forms diagonal coordinates together with overall evaluation. Multiple regression analysis has then explained psychological distance in five variables: room depth, natural lighting, illumination, window-opening ratio and student density. The ratio of room depth to breadth and main window area on both sides are also explanatory variables, supporting hypotheses of tunnel effect and window-frame rhythms as increasing factor. A multiple-regression equation explaining 69.4% of variance has revealed that 100-180 lx increase of illumination should compensate 1.8m decrease in room depth.

A process of developing recommendations to the City of Tucson and to Pima County officials to develop the first code for Net-Zero capable buildings in the state of Arizona is described. The proposed code will have a tremendous impact on reducing the state energy consumption through both a prescriptive and performance compliance paths. Implementation of this voluntary standard will also encourage the use of energy simulation software to achieve code compliance. The process is divided into four major steps that lead into the establishment of the pre Net- Zero energy efficiency levels for each building prototype. Full Net-Zero status is then achieved through sizing appropriate PV system based to be installed on the roof or parking structures of buildings. Preliminary results demonstrate one residential prototype achieved the Net-Zero status by a reduced annual cost from $3,350 to $885 (73.6% savings) and a reduced consumption from 48.83 to 11.91 kBtu/ft!.yr (74.47% savings) compared to a basecase that originally complied with the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC2006). This paper strongly emphasizes on how energy simulation can influence and inform the design process of buildings.
