Beyond Code - Commercial Building Design: ASHRAE's Advanced Energy Design Guides | |
Beginning in 2004, ASHRAE has published six Advanced Energy Design Guides for small to medium-sized commercial buildings that provide prescriptive design guidance to exceed the requirements of ASHRAE’s Standard 90.1-1999 by 30%. These guides address small office buildings, retail buildings, warehouses, K-12 schools, highway lodging, and small healthcare facilities. In addition, ASHRAE has recently published the first in a series of three guides for existing buildings, Energy Efficiency Guide for Existing Commercial Buildings: The Business Case for Building Owners and Managers. This presentation will describe the development process and technical basis for, and the design recommendations of, the 30% guides and the existing buildings guide. Participants will learn how to apply the recommendations of the guides to achieve significant energy savings above code minimum. |

| The Past is Our Future: Historic Preservation as Sustainable Practice | ||
| Can historic buildings be restored, renovated and reused sustainably? This program introduces the theory and practice of historic preservation and explores how it can facilitate, not hinder, achievement of sustainable goals. Find out how architects and building owners are addressing such issues as window rehabilitation and replacement, building envelope enhancements, and installation of efficient air-conditioning systems in a range of LEED certified and registered preservation projects. | ||

| Renewable Energy Potential in the Southeast | ||
| As we work to reduce our dependence on oil, produce more energy at home and create more sustainable green jobs, we look to renewable energy resources for solutions. Join us for this half day seminar as we hear the experts perspective of which technologies have the greatest potential for development and adoption in the Southeast, as well as the current incentives available to developers and consumers for integrating renewable alternatives. We will review region-specific case studies to show what is working today and how you can get involved with the renewable energy future. |

| Sustainable Development: Hands-on Seminar with Doug Farr | ||
| Facilitated by Doug Farr, inaugural Chair for the USGBC LEED-Neighborhood Development program, this seminar will provide an opportunity to have working experience with the LEED-ND program criteria on actual projects in three development contexts—Transit-Oriented Development, Infill Neighborhood, and Rural Development. Participants can choose the particular project and context they are most interested in and work with the actual project developers, land planners and architects to examine ways for the projects to meet the development goals identified in LEED-ND and ways that the LEED-ND program can evolve to better address these developments. |
