The document discusses how to achieve high-performance building design through integrated design and collaboration between architects and engineers. It provides an overview of energy modeling and outlines increasing energy code standards to demonstrate how whole-building energy analysis can help meet sustainability goals and achieve efficiency gains of 30-50% compared to code minimum. The presentation aims to define high-performance buildings and bridge technical gaps through collaborative design approaches.
PV thermal systems combine solar photovoltaics and solar air heating into a single footprint, allowing buildings to generate both electricity and heat from solar energy. SolarWall is an unglazed solar air heater that preheats ventilation air for commercial and industrial buildings. Testing shows that mounting PV panels above a SolarWall can increase total solar energy generation by cooling the PV panels and capturing otherwise wasted heat. PV thermal systems maximize the energy production from a roof by generating both electricity and thermal energy.

It provides an overview of key aspects of building energy codes including the IECC, ASHRAE Standard 90.1, state and locally adopted codes. Specific topics covered include the building envelope, heating/cooling systems, lighting and electrical systems, water heating, code compliance and enforcement. It also summarizes differences between the IECC 2003, 2006 and 2009 versions and ASHRAE 90.1-2007 for commercial buildings in climate zone 2B.

Building Design Factors that Affect LEED Energy CreditsSam Abdelfattah
This document provides an overview of how ASHRAE 90.1-2010 building design standards impact available energy performance credits in LEED V4. It analyzes projects in Climate Zone 4A and highlights changes from the 90.1-2007 standard. These include more stringent envelope requirements, lighting power densities reduced by 5-35%, and mandatory economizers for larger HVAC systems. A case study of a 12,000 square foot building in Rockville, MD is presented to demonstrate the analysis.
Thermal bridging can greatly impact the thermal performance of building envelopes. This presentation discusses research from ASHRAE RP-1365 that quantified thermal bridging in common construction details using 3D modeling. It found that accounting for thermal bridges can decrease a wall's effective R-value by over 30%. The presentation also showed that improving details like slab edges and balcony connections through methods like insulation and thermal breaks provided significant energy savings compared to simply adding clear wall insulation. Overall, the research demonstrates the importance of considering thermal bridging when assessing building envelope performance and codes.
The document provides energy usage and portfolio information for the Prescott Service Center building. It details the building size, energy sources, current energy consumption, improvement opportunities in building envelop, solar power, and lighting. Implementing improvements in building envelop, installing solar panels, and switching to LED lighting can reduce annual energy consumption by over 342,000 kWh and save over $37,000 per year while achieving payback periods of less than 10 years for the investments.

This document provides an overview of building energy codes and incentives. It discusses:
- How codes push laggards while incentives pull innovators, and incentives will become future regulations.
- New building and existing building regulations and incentives in California, including LEED, utility programs, and Title 24.
- Studies showing energy regulations and public programs in California have reduced energy use and avoided power plant construction.
- An overview of federal energy acts, voluntary standards like LEED and ASHRAE, and the scopes of codes like IECC, ASHRAE 90.1, and Title 24.
This document discusses insulated metal panels (IMPs) and provides information on their advantages, specifications, and business development opportunities. It reviews relevant codes and policies, how IMPs can help projects qualify for LEED and tax credits, and examples of energy modeling cost savings when using IMPs. The document also includes case studies of IMP projects and defines important terms related to IMP performance ratings and specifications.
This document provides an overview of Massachusetts' Stretch Energy Code and how it aims to help municipalities create a greener energy future. The Stretch Code is an optional appendix to the base energy code that is approximately 15-20% more stringent. It covers new construction, additions, and renovations of both residential and small commercial buildings. Compliance can be shown through either a performance path using tools like the Home Energy Rating System, or a prescriptive path with requirements for things like window efficiency and duct sealing. Training is provided to help builders and code officials understand and implement the new standards.
The Energy Code Workshop aims to raise awareness of building energy codes in Arizona based on the 2009 IECC. It is certifying 20 trainers statewide to provide training to 1200 individuals by June 2011. The workshop is market driven and offers continuing education credits. It will help increase awareness of energy codes and trends showing declining new home sales and rising vacancy rates. Energy codes can significantly reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions in a cost effective manner. The International Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE 90.1 are the baseline codes adopted in many areas.
This lecture illustrates the opportunities for Passive House on commercial projects. Follow four case studies and learn how the Passive House building energy standard affects project planning, design, and what changes are made to the building envelope and mechanical systems to achieve it. Furthermore, this session highlights the differences in initial cost and life cycle cost, and provide insights into the energy conservation and CO2 reduction potential.

The document discusses India's Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC). It aims to set minimum energy efficiency standards for building design and construction. The ECBC encourages energy efficient practices that do not compromise occupant comfort or economic considerations. It provides the central and state governments powers to enforce compliance. The ECBC is estimated to reduce building energy use by 25-40% through requirements for the building envelope, lighting, HVAC, and other systems. Widespread adoption could yield annual national energy savings of over 1.7 billion kWh. Implementation faces barriers around first costs, product availability, and testing/certification.
Life Cycle Analysis and Optimization of a Steel Building George Be
The document describes a study that uses life cycle cost analysis and optimization to determine the most cost-effective design for a steel building in Chania, Crete. It analyzes variables like insulation levels, window areas and coatings, HVAC systems, and structural components. The optimization considers three scenarios over 10 and 30 year periods. The results found that double glazed windows, appropriately sized windows on orientations, and an A-class HVAC system provided the lowest overall costs while meeting energy codes. Floor insulation had less impact than walls and roof. The study provides a framework for optimizing building designs and subsystems to minimize life cycle costs.
