Seminar 8 -- Case Studies of Energy Reduction in Existing Buildings: Lessons Learned on How Involving Owners and Operators in Design and Execution Creates Successful Long Term Results 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 three case studies illustrating how involving owners and operating/maintenance personnel during design and construction results in buildings that are more successful and perform better over the long term. When planning and designing for energy efficient systems, both new and retrofit projects benefit significantly from user and operator input. Operating and maintenance personnel have experiences that most designers do not. Their valuable insight is critical to a successful project, especially for integrated design and sustainability. A higher education laboratory, an electric company headquarters building and a government office building focus on lessons learned from the project.
