Green is everywhere these days, from car ads to
supermarkets to buildings. But what, exactly, is a “green”
building? And what has experience taught us about the difficulty in
achieving green building results from design goals?
This fast-paced and informative discussion, geared for all
audiences, will focus on various green building issues, including:
• Rating systems such as LEED, Energy Star and
California’s Title 24
• Early green designs and how they succeeded or failed
• Accurately predicting the energy performance characteristics of a
building
• Energy analysis and simulation software for architects and
engineers
• Different approaches required for new and retrofit projects
• The importance of Building Commissioning in
ensuring performance |
