Buildings use approximately 40% of the energy in the US. Buzzwords like “going green” and “energy efficient” are more prevalent today. LEED is a rating system, which provides designers the opportunity to tailor their design to reduce the impact on society and the surroundings. It is an integrated process involving the architect, landscape architect, civil engineer, MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) consultant, lighting designer and contractor. As a design team these professionals evaluate energy trade offs within a conceptual design to create a functional building. This session will focus on LEED V4. It will target LEED’s definition, history and categories. More importantly, how to become a LEED accredited professional and LEED’s V4 holistic approach to building design.
The LEED v4 EA Renewable Energy Production credit requires buildings that generate on-site renewable energy to retain the environmental and financial benefits of their production.
If a LEED project that generates electricity through renewable energy, such as solar or wind, chooses to sell the RECs associated with that production, the project can still claim the Renewable Energy Production credit by purchasing enough RECs or offsets to make up for the RECs that were sold.
In such cases, projects that are generating electricity are required to purchase RECs certified by the Center for Resource Solutions' Green-e program.
Projects that are generating heat or other nonelectric energy are required to purchase Green-e Climate–certified carbon offsets.
The document provides information about the LEED certification process, including the different steps, tools, and requirements. It addresses questions about rating system selection, prerequisites, regional priority credits, project boundaries, the roles of USGBC and GBCI, and more.

The document discusses value engineering as a review process that identifies design alternatives that can reduce costs while improving performance. Value engineering reviews the lowest lifecycle cost options for design, materials, and processes to achieve the desired level of performance, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Conventional value engineering often cuts costs by removing building features, but for green buildings this can undermine the integrated performance of building systems.
Green construction or sustainable building refers to both a structure and the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from planning to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.
Green building, or sustainable design, is the practice of increasing the efficiency with which buildings and their sites use energy, water, and materials, and of reducing impacts on human health and the environment for the entire lifecycle of a building. Green-building concepts extend beyond the walls of buildings and include site planning, community and land-use planning issues as well.
The growth and development of our communities have a large impact on our natural environment. The manufacturing, design, construction, and operation of the buildings in which we live and work are responsible for the consumption of many of our natural resources.

The document discusses Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), a green building certification program used worldwide. It was developed by the U.S. Green Building Council in 1998 to provide a framework for identifying and implementing sustainable building strategies. LEED provides third-party verification that a building was designed and built using methods to improve performance in areas like energy savings, water efficiency, and indoor environmental quality. It has different rating systems for various building types that evaluate categories like sustainable sites, water and energy use, materials and resources, and indoor air quality.

The document discusses how building information modeling (BIM) can reduce risks and costs for facility managers on projects. It presents results from three identical cath lab projects that used different levels of BIM: one with CAD only had the highest costs and longest schedule, while one with full BIM integration had the lowest costs, shortest schedule, and virtually no change orders. The document recommends facility managers use the existing BIM model from construction with free software for navigation and linking systems information with QR codes to help operations and maintenance.
The document summarizes the presentations of 6 finalists for an expansion of the Shenzhen Nanshan Hospital. The finalists presented models, boards, and DVDs of their proposals.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
