This document provides an agenda for a meeting discussing building performance analysis. The agenda includes presentations on Equitable Projects' processes for success, the benefits of building performance analysis, and an overview of the IES VE building performance analysis system. It also discusses promoting green and energy efficient design solutions in Latvia, including through sharing foreign experience. The document outlines issues with building operation like lack of comfort, high costs, and commercial building competition. It advocates determining the right process, including when to consider building performance, to improve energy efficiency and save costs.

2. Agenda
• 13:00 Equitable Projects' processes are the foundation to
success
– Ernestas Beržanskis, Intelligent BIM Solutions
• 13:45 Why we should do Building Performance Analysis,
what is a benefits?
– Michelle Farrell, IES Ltd
• 14:30 Building performance analysis system IES VE main
features overview
– Karolis Januševičius, Intelligent BIM Solutions
• 15:30 Discussion: how to promote green and energy efficient
design solutions in Latvia, foreign experience

3. A key of success is right process
(what, when & how)
What should we do to improve buildings performance?
When should we care about building performance analysis?

4. Comfort level and Energy saving
• Latvia’s Energy Development Guidelines 2007-2016
aim to reduce the average heat consumption in
buildings by at least 11 percent over the period and
to improve energy efficiency in heat production
installations.
• How to do it, how to find most efficient solutions to
optimize building performance (comfort level and
cost and energy savings)

5. Issues in building operation
• Not enough comfort level
– Building users not very happy and require
improvements (new heating, ventilation, etc.)
– If not, there are more modern buildings,
technologies
• High operation costs
– When we are planning building operation costs
– Operation cost vs construction cost
• Commercial buildings competition
– Price is not enough to compete, new requirements

6. Building Costs
When its right
time to make
decisions on
operation?
Why we always
surprised?
