Kevin O'Donnell presentation on buildings and energy from the Wise Power Use ...Sherri Akers
This document appears to be a presentation on buildings and energy given by Kevin Foster O'Donnell on November 3, 2010. It discusses topics like the history of population growth and its effects on energy usage, fossil fuel consumption over time, climate change impacts, and opportunities for reducing energy usage in buildings. Several key statistics are presented, such as buildings accounting for 48% of US carbon emissions and 61% of residential energy usage going towards heating, cooling, water heating and other systems.
The document discusses sustainable building and moving towards truly zero carbon buildings. It argues that current standards and practices in the UK construction industry are insufficient and green claims are often misleading. True sustainability requires an holistic approach that prioritizes building fabric improvements, natural materials, passive design, and mechanical systems only as needed. The key areas to focus on are space heating, domestic hot water, ventilation, and moisture management through breathable walls. Simpler construction methods are also advocated for along with changes across the entire industry and supply chain.

The document summarizes a session attended at the MiaGreen conference. The scheduled speakers for a session on recycling business models were absent, so the attendee moved to a session on high-performing buildings presented by Noah Eckhouse. Noah outlined five "canons" or principles for achieving energy efficient buildings: be wary of misleading claims, hard work is required not shortcuts, consider obvious factors, learn from others' mistakes, and use professional tools. Noah then demonstrated using modeling software to simulate retrofits on a sample building, finding that some common solutions like central HVAC were not as effective as improved windows or chilled beams. The modeling allowed evaluating different options without actual construction costs.
