Seminar 13-1 -- Sustainability in Commercial Buildings: Integration Measures for Bridging the Gaps in Performance from Design to Operations PDF

This product is a PDF that contains links to files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker (recorded presentation), PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3) as noted.

This seminar presents various qualitative and quantitative measures that can be practiced to improve and sustain performance of all building systems and infrastructure elements. All too often a building's energy performance does not meet design expectations, particularly a new building's energy savings projection that overstates achievable performance. Across the high-performing building industry, these unrealistic energy performance goals have come from, among other things, inadequate modeling and benchmarking practices, unreliable monitoring and equipment controls systems, significant changes in space usage and processes during occupancy and tenant improvements and failure to include operations staff in goal setting.
