AIA Triangle+2030 Session 5

Thu, 10 May 2012

May 10, 2012:

Session V: Aggressively passive: employing passive systems for load reduction™

Properly designed, a building captures existing resources such as light, wind, and solar radiation to provide for the comfort and needs of occupants. Passive systems work in concert to allow the building to manage energy demand through design. This session will build on the concepts introduced in Sessions 3 and 4 to flesh out a holistic strategy to designing passive systems.

Learning objectives:
Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to:

•define passive systems and identify specific elements of a passive design,
•appraise the effectiveness of various passive strategies based on a site’s available resources and
•determine which of a suite of strategies will be most likely to be successful on a particular site.

Please register HERE!

Take a look at AIAplus2030.org for more information about these sessions that will bring you to greater understanding of how to create a more energy-efficient built environment.

The Hand-Off + Staying in Shape: Operations, Maintenance + Education

Design intent is important, but at the end of the day, how the building actually performs is really what matters. The closer the match between predicted and observed performance, the more likely a client will be happy. This session will explore the tools available to an architect to help match performance with expectations, including building commissioning, maintenance staff and occupant training, and building performance monitoring. Using building performance data to validate and improve on design and construction decisions will also be explored—providing a strong tool for iterative learning and innovation.

AIA+2030 Learning Objectives

Explain the benefits of monitoring, evaluation, and education to design firms, clients, and building occupants.
Explain and advocate for commissioning on projects.
Instruct building maintenance and operations staff on optimizing building performance.
