Code Dread: Keeping up with ASHRAE and LEEDScott Bowman
Design firms will be in the best position to meet their clients’ needs by understanding and preparing for ASHRAE 90.1-2010 and LEED v4, both of which have evolved from their earlier versions and will have major impacts on buildings in the very near future.
This presentation will illustrate the effect of these changes by applying the new standards to an existing LEED Silver-certified project constructed in 2008 by KJWW Engineering Consultants using ASHRAE 90.1-2004.
First, a new baseline using the ASHRAE 90.1-2007 standard will be applied to the project, which is the requirement under LEED v2009. Next, a baseline for the project using ASHRAE 90.1-2010 will be applied to the project, which represents the requirements under LEED v4. Both comparisons will show the decrease in energy savings, points awarded, and strategies and cost required to bring the project back to the original energy savings and the LEED certification it might attain.
The project’s real-life, existing energy performance will be presented as an overlay to all of the comparisons.

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.

Q: Why is the LEED AP exam system changing? A: Since 2001, more than 65,000 building professional have earned the LEED AP credential by demonstrating their understanding of environmentally sustainable building design, construction and operation. The changes to the exam system are reflective of the rapid advances in green building technology and practice in the marketplace. The Green Building Certification Institutes (GBCI) new three-tiered credentialing system will ensure that LEED-credentialed professionals have the latest knowledge and understanding of green building practices AND that they’re recognized with this distinction. Q: What is the difference between the current LEED AP examination system and the LEED Credentialing system moving forward? A: There are three differences between the current LEED AP examination system and 2009 system. There will be three levels of excellence for a professional to pursue. This improves upon the current LEED accreditation system by providing a mechanism to recognize knowledge and expertise beyond a basic understanding of green building practices. A tiered credentialing system allows the marketplace to distinguish between practitioners with basic, advanced, and extraordinary levels of knowledge. GBCI will have eligibility requirements for all levels of the exam system GBCI will have credentialing maintenance required for all levels of the exam. As sustainable technologies advance and the LEED rating system evolves, the LEED accreditation system needs a mechanism to ensure that LEED Professions have the latest knowledge and understanding of green building practices. Q: What are the three levels or tiers of LEED Accreditation? A: Tier I LEED Green Associate: Evoking good environmental practice and being the first step in the LEED professionals career pathway the LEED Green Associate credential attests to demonstrated knowledge and skill in understanding and supporting green design, construction, and operations. Tier II LEED AP+ : The LEED AP+ credential signifies an extraordinary depth of knowledge in green building practices and specialization in a particular field: commercial building design & construction, commercial operations & maintenance, commercial interiors, residential design & construction, and neighborhood development.

A: Tier 1, the LEED Green Associate exam is a computer based, multiple-choice examination; you will have 2.5 hours to complete it. This core exam is also part one of the LEED AP+ examination. If you become eligible to take the LEED AP+ exam and you have maintained your LEED Green Associate Credential, you will not have to take the Core exam again. Tier 2, the LEED AP+ exams will be two parts. The exams are multiple choice and computer based. The first part will be the “core” knowledge exam (taken by Tier 1, LEED Green Associates) about green building and general knowledge about the LEED rating system process. The second part will be a specialty exam depending on the track you choose. You will have 4 hours to complete the examinations. Q: What if I only pass one part of the exam? A: If you only pass one part of the exam you will have to retake the part you failed. Your eligibility is valid for one year and you will have three chances to take the failed portion. If you fail three times your eligibility will be suspended for three months and you will be required to reapply. Q: How do I fit into the new system as a current LEED AP? A: “Legacy” LEED AP: Thousands of LEED APs who pioneered the green building field may continue to bear the credential as a legacy with inactive status. To gain active status, they must choose to opt into the new system. LEED APs who elect to opt in to the new credentialing system should note the following: Beginning in June 2009, current LEED APs have two years to opt in. For example, if you choose to opt in December of 2009, you will have until December 31, 2011 to complete you required hours of credential maintenance. Opt-in requires signing the disciplinary policy and agreeing to credential maintenance. You will get to use the new LEED AP+ designation and be listed in the active registry. Q: What if I don’t opt in? A: You will remain a LEED AP with inactive status in our registry. If you choose to opt into the system after JUNE 2011 you must meet eligibility requirements and retest. Q: What is the cost for a current LEED AP to opt in? A: For the first two years the credentialing maintenance fee is waived. After June 2011, the credential maintenance fee will be $50 every two years. Q: What if I want to get an additional designation? A: If you are a current LEED AP, have agreed to the disciplinary policy and credentialing maintenance, you will only have to take the specialty portion of the exam.
