Overview

Course Description

While LEED and Sustainable Design dominated the industry landscape in the 2000's, the last several years have witnessed a pivot to specific improvements in resources, specifically in the areas of water and energy use and efficiency. That bar has been raised through increasingly stringent standards in ASHRAE 90.1-2010 and 189.1-2011, as well as Federal mandates increasing in stringency from EPAct05 through EISA 07, Executive Order 13423, EO 13423 & EO 13514, and most recently 10 CFR 433: Energy Efficiency Design Standards for new Federal Commercial Buildings.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Discuss the requirements of Federal building mandates and codes.
List the requirements of ASHRAE 90.1 and 189.1 standards, upon which most State & Local codes are based and written.
Describe and appreciate the impact locally, nationally, and globally of these efforts and the trends towards increasing energy efficiency, and competing interests globally between efficiency and a cleaner environment, and cheaper fuel and resulting pollution and associated deleterious effects thereof.
Practically implement and adopt these requirements in building systems, and design and construction strategies.
