AIA+2030 Session 5: Passively-Aggressive: employing passive systems for load reduction

Thu, 17 May 2012 06:04:16 +0000

AIA+2030 Challenge Series 3

Is Official:

true

The AIA+2030 Professional Series helps design professionals create buildings that meet the ambitious energy efficiency goals of the 2030 Challenge. Ten, 4-hour sessions offer strategies to reach 60 % reduction in fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions, giving design professionals the knowledge and leverage to create next-generation, super-efficient buildings—and provide firms with the skills that will set them apart in the marketplace.
Sessions assume participants have an intermediate understanding of the suite of energy efficiency strategies and technologies available to a design professional. Session information is cumulative and aims to provide an overall understanding of specific design strategies and how they can be integrated to provide optimal results. Regional and National case studies will illustrate concepts and lessons learned. Experts from both academia and active practice will lead the sessions. Participants will be provided tools to take back to their firms to help share and implement the knowledge and skills gained.
While firms may purchase packages to use for multiple staff members, this course is designed as a contiguous journey, and we strongly encourage individuals to commit to the entire series for the greatest educational value.

Event Description:

The AIA+2030 Professional Series helps design professionals create buildings that meet the ambitious energy efficiency goals of the 2030 Challenge. Ten, 4-hour sessions offer strategies to reach 60 % reduction in fossil fuel greenhouse gas emissions, giving design professionals the knowledge and leverage to create next-generation, super-efficient buildings—and provide firms with the skills that will set them apart in the marketplace. Sessions assume participants have an intermediate understanding of the suite of energy efficiency strategies and technologies available to a design professional. Session information is cumulative and aims to provide an overall understanding of specific design strategies and how they can be integrated to provide optimal results. Regional and National case studies will illustrate concepts and lessons learned. Experts from both academia and active practice will lead the sessions. Participants will be provided tools to take back to their firms to help share and implement the knowledge and skills gained. While firms may purchase packages to use for multiple staff members, this course is designed as a contiguous journey, and we strongly encourage individuals to commit to the entire series for the greatest educational value.

WORKSHOP SEGMENT GOALS
1. Motor Systems Energy Cost Calculation Take away:
• To use and understand the implications of kWh costs,
efficiency, horsepower, and hours of use
• Impact of load variations and using them to an advantage
• Brings first cost and simple life cycle costing (kWh) into
perspective no matter what the economic climate
2. Continuous Improvement Process Take away:
• Attendees will consider constraint reduction management in
energy and other application
• Develop and apply continuous improvement process
• Apply energy cost analysis
3. Reporting and Discussion Take away:
• Exposure to new ideas of other groups furthering the
continuous improvement process
• Make sure all attendees get and practice application of the five
elements of continuous motor system improvement
4. Nameplate Nomenclature Take away:
• Defines 17 associated characteristics of electric motors
• Attendees will find and use the Glossary of Terms and
attached reference materials to complete simple motor tasks
• Attendees better understand the nameplate or where to find
definitions
5. New Motors vs. Rewinding/Repair Take away:
• Rules governing motors are discussed
• Advances in rewinding products enhancing efficiency retention
or improvement
• Effects of quality and tight process control on rebuilt motors

Stretching the Shrinking O&M Dollar

In the current economic state, entities do not have the capital available to restore or replace their aging infrastructure.

The burden falls to the Facility O&M Department to maintain the ailing systems with an operational budget that is continuously under attack.

The focus of this year’s convention is to equip our facility brethren to tackle these challenges with practical low-cost/no-cost tips that they can easily apply in their own facilities.

What's New in Lighting: 2011

presented by the Lighting Design Lab

Is Official:

true

The fall tradition continues of reviewing this year's latest innovations in exterior and interior lighting luminaires, lamps, ballasts, publications, controls and components. Also included in the class will be award-winning products recognized throughout the industry. This class is intended for those already familiar with basic lighting terminology (i.e. CRI, CCT, L/W, CMH, LED, OLED etc.) but can be of interest to those just entering the lighting industry as well.

Matching Technologies to Applications

Tue, 01 May 2012 23:02:20 +0000

presented by the Lighting Design Lab

Is Official:

true

Whether new construction, a major renovation, or a simple retrofit,the challenge is to develop a lighting scheme which takes info consideration the condition of the existing space, the tasks being performed, energy codes, and lower power consumption. In addition, the effects of coming legislation must also be considered: i.e. what really happens to T12 lamps in July of 2012? The new design must also meet accepted standards of lighting quality and quantity while making economic sense. This class will look at a number of interior and exterior spaces, and the steps necessary to make decisions about available lamps, ballasts, luminaires, controls, and how they may be successfully applied.
