I have no skylights or sun controls for now.

I have used the building element model to create and energy model selective convention center as the building type and with the following settings:

Baseline:

Keeping Operating Schedule factor tile to use the BIM value

Step 1:

Roof construction as R60

Step 2:

Plug load efficiency of 0.6 W/sf

Step 3:

Wall construction as R38

Step 4:

Lighting Efficiency as 0.3 W/sf

Step 5:

Using Daylight and Occupancy Control

Step 6:

Window - Wall adjustments

Southern

Northern

Eastern

Western

Step 7:

HVAC system as high efficiency heat pump

Step 8:

Solar Panels

Step 9:

Air exchange rate

Using the above methods I have reduced the energy consumption from 126 54.7 kbtu/ft2/yr to 47.9 kbtu/ft2/yr.
