Technical Session :

Transforming Older Buildings into High-Performance Facilities

GBCI Approved | 1.5 CE Hours | 0090010520

AIA Approved | 1.5 LU/HSW | NEWMAN02

Most buildings, new or old, do not perform anywhere near their most efficient potential. HVAC systems deteriorate with time. Find out what to look for relative to improving the efficiency of the HVAC and lighting systems in a building, learn how to do it at minimum cost by taking advantage of incentives and rebates, and learn how to keep it performing at its potential to save your owner operating and utility costs.

Dinner Presentation: 

ASHRAE BeQ and ASTM BEPA: What the Difference Is Between Them – and How You Can Use Them to your Advantage

The European Union has had a program in place for several years now to measure the energy used in buildings. This information must be made available to prospective tenants and buyers of the building. The same thing is happening in the U.S. – and is already in place in several states and municipalities. The BeQ (Building Energy Quotient) is a report card of a building’s energy use and/or potential energy use. All other things being equal, if two buildings are up for sale or are looking for tenants, the building with the better rating will likely be the winner, as a buyer or prospective lessee will realize their energy bills will be lower in that building. As an ASHRAE member, it is important you be aware of what kind of information goes into this analysis, how it’s gathered – and how you can best make use of it.
