Storm windows, insulating shades, sash replacements, awnings - The good news is that we have so many ways to improve the performance of our windows. The bad news is...there are so many ways to improve the performance of our windows! How in the world can we objectively compare them on price, thermal performance, ease of installation, ease of use, solar control, privacy, and durability?
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories and BuildingGreen are working on simple and easy-to-use resources for selecting window retrofit options. With input on climate, existing window attributes, and performance priorities, anyone can cut through the difficulties of deciding how to improve the overall performance of existing windows.
Using resources from www.windowattachments.org, webinar participants will work through window attachment selection scenarios with the instructor and learn how to use these resources with their clients and on their own projects.

Façades in South-East Asia are well understood using typical performance metrics such as ETTV.
Using the centre of pane performance values of shading coefficients (SC) and U-values, we can get a feel for the performance of façades but can these truly be determined as high performance if the conductive elements (thermal bridging) of framing and shading details are ignored?
This presentation aims to illustrate the case for higher performing façade systems and hopes to be of value for those looking to fully integrate the design of such systems in South-East Asian commercial buildings. It is also aimed at those looking to understand façade framing performance and testing, to gain a greater knowledge of façade detailing and performance.

Measuring Light Pollution - How New Technology is Making it Possible. Cindy Foster-Warthen
25 years after the term “light pollution” was coined, we still have a hard time understanding what it is. Measuring it is difficult and metrics to describe it are still being developed. Innovative techniques like all-sky imaging and high dynamic range photography are finally making it possible to accurately measure night sky brightness and glare. International Space Station and satellite imagery is also being used to measure global sky brightness and document trends in its proliferation. This session will demonstrate how to measure different aspects of light pollution and examine the metrics that have been developed to quantify it.

Smart Outdoor Lighting Alliance
Presentation by Christian Kohler, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
On Thursday June 11th, the Alliance to Save Energy hosted a webinar for Alliance Associates and others interested in opportunities for window energy efficiency. Moderated by the Alliance’s Vice President for Programs Jeff Harris, speakers representing research, industry and low-income weatherization highlighted options that can minimize window heat loss far beyond common practice. The focus was on high-end R-5 window technologies, but lower-cost products, such as low-E storm windows, and the specific needs of low-income weatherization programs were also discussed. The five presenters’ different perspectives converged in the message that there is a great need for more energy-efficient windows and that advanced technologies and their integration in incentive and weatherization programs can bring far greater savings within reach.

This project is a teaching module of my own design. Its purpose is to introduce non-major theatre students to a stage lighting instrument's parts, maintenance, safety protocols, and use. All verbiage, photographs, and drawings are my own unless otherwise noted. I have used my own theatrical projects as the primary examples in this presentation.
This presentation is given in my Theatre Appreciation classes. Like all teaching modules in my courses, it is given in cooperation with an interactive lecture and online quiz. It is posted on Blackboard as a Powerpoint file, for my students' continual reference and review.
This presentation has also been made available to fellow faculty and administrators, as basic instructions for the maintenance and repair of stage lighting equipment in campus auditoriums.
glassAdvisor is a commercial web-App that supports professionals in the design of glazing systems. Among the different calculation modules, i.e. acoustics, statics, and energy transfer, a new thermal module has been developed for the detailed calculation of glazing systems including shading devices. This last feature increased the tool’s potentiality in calculating complex transparent façade elements, which today is of major importance for the correct design of the new façade technologies available in the market. Additionally, static calculations with fixed winter/summer boundary conditions are not sufficient for understanding the real behavior of the façade. In this context, the opportunity offered by Open Data in retrieving reliable climatic data, such as air temperature and irradiance, is of great importance. The use of the Open Data combined with the detailed calculation for the façade design in the tool glassAdvisor will be presented.

Revitalizing Communities By Design
Regenerative design and development could be incredibly simple. It merely requires taking time in a place to uncover stories, discover patterns, find essence, and then add value in any way that improves the capacity of a place to be whole, vital and evolving. Together with our clients and collaborators, we are taking steps to maximize social health, invigorate a sustainable economy and restore natural systems. This workshop explores essential questions that hold the keys to a broad-based shift toward regenerative practice. We’ll share our observations, process, projects, and metrics while drawing participants into a rich dialog of discovery.
Howard Blackson - Placemakers, LLC
In the 20th century, we have spent a lot of money and resources to build cultural wastelands that adversely affects our quality-of-life. With the demise of redevelopment in California, in conjunction with the demonization of Smart Growth, the future relevancy of these places rests upon our ability repurpose these miles and miles of regrettable and devalued strip centers, office parks, and housing tracks. Unfortunately, most citizens oppose any new development due to its potential conflict with their existing community character. Applying an urban design technique that purposely codes for a specific community character, this presentation will outline 21st century urban design tools to build towards walkable, mixed-use neighborhood centers.
With 20 plus years of professional urban design experience, Howard is the Director of Planning for PlaceMakers, LLC, a new economy company of seven (7) principals located across the United States and Canada.

Kaid Benfield, Dir. Sustainable Communities - NRDC
Kaid will discuss the opportunities and advantages of creating a sustainable energy future.We once thought of cities as the antithesis of sustainability - but we now know that cities can be the solution to, not the cause of, our environmental threats. To take advantage of the opportunities before us in an increasingly urban society, we must be thoughtful, shaping our metropolitan regions to reduce our environmental footprint while creating beautiful, green, inclusive neighborhoods within them. As people concerned about the health and future of the planet, we must approach this task with energy and humility, paying every bit as much attention to nurturing great people habit as we do to conserving the habitats of other species.
Michelle Kaufmann will talk about a quest for simplicity as a core component to a mission of making thoughtful, sustainable design accessible.
She will talk about her work in prefabrication, design-build, green homes and sustainable communities. Rethinking not only what we make and how we make it, but also redesigning the design process itself is key to the future of architecture and sustainability. Innovations in this category are abundant and exciting, and with strategic focus can help us all to have more quality, less clutter and simpler lives.
The upcoming 2013 Title-24 Building Efficiency Standards were approved by the California Energy Commission on May 9, 2012. The new Title-24 energy code incorporates significant changes that will affect architects, builders, contractors, energy consultants, and solar PV installers. This class will review the upcoming changes to the energy code and the impact on building design along with compliance strategies that will allow you to comply with the new, stricter energy code cost effectively.
Mark Madison is a Certified Energy Plans Examiner, Certified Energy Analyst, HERS rater, and serves on the board of directors of the California Association of Building Energy Analysts (CABEC).
We will discuss some strategies for incorporating water harvesting into sustainable landscaping, using example projects to illustrate our points. We will focus on residential systems for outdoor usage but will also touch on commercial applications and non-potable indoor use.
Many building owners have the desire to upgrade their commercial
properties, but in the current state of the economy they are at a loss as to how to financial such upgrades. The presentation will also review current trends in rebates, public sector financing and private sector financing that make such upgrades possible.
Target Audience:
I think the target audience for this presentation will be building industry
professionals, developers, building owners, property managers and
commercial real estate brokers, as well as educators from real estate
development programs such as San Diego State’s.
How the people of a small town on the cross road to the silk road in Persia used micro-climate and their local materials to create energy-efficient buildings.
- Assess how they have used sun, wind and water
- Passive solar design
- Landscape and thermal mass to transform a harsh natural environment into comfortable spaces
- Evaluate innovative uses of local material in their buildings
- Santa Fe architecture and similarities to Persian architecture
- Observe the use of these techniques in modern architecture
The new 2008 Title-24 Building Efficiency Standards became effective January 1, 2010. One of the most sweeping changes involve residential indoor and outdoor lighting requirements, particularly kitchen lighting and the new adoption of ASHRAE 62.2 indoor air quality code.
Kitchen Lighting, Title-24
New restrictions, control requirements, high efficacy fixture requirements and incandescent allowances, and interior lighting worksheets will add an additional layer of complexity to residential lighting design. This class will bring you up to speed on the new changes and address the underlying principles, calculation methods, strategies to assist you in complying with the new code changes and take you step by step thru the new CF-6R-LTG-1 lighting certificate of installation which must be filled out before the final certificate of occupancy will be issued.
Kitchen Lighting, Title-24
You will also understand which fixtures will comply as high efficacy (not all LED fixtures are certified as high efficacy), the lighting control requirements for each room type and the new fixture and control requirements for residential outdoor lighting.
Title-24, Title-24
California has now adopted the requirements of ASHRAE 62.2-2007 which means that starting January 1, 2010, all low-rise residential buildings are required to install whole house mechanical ventilation and satisfy other requirements to achieve acceptable indoor air quality. Openable windows will no longer be an acceptable method for satisfying outdoor air requirements. This will involve calculations for determining the minimum ventilation cfm and designing a system to provide the necessary airflow with proper controls. You will learn the proper method for determining ventilation airflow, strategies for designing a cost effective ventilation system, and how to fill out the new ventilation Certificate of Installation.
Kitchen Lighting, Title-24

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
