The project is designed to achieve LEED Platinum® certification and meets all CALGreen Tier 2 building standards. This facility symbolizes the transition of transportation in California to zero-emission technologies. This program will review noteworthy strategies that contribute to achieving net-zero performance for a dynamic and energy-intensive campus.Earn 1.5 LU|HSW and 1.5hr ZNCD MCE for attending live, or 1.5hrs ZNCD MCE for watching on-demand here.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are also becoming a common way to house people in California. Establishing the owner’s project requirements and associated performance targets and metrics allows comparative evaluation of different design strategies and options. It also generates the data used in reporting for the 2030 Commitment. A simple illustration is the all-electric ADU showcased in this program.Earn 1.5 LU|HSW and 1.5hr ZNCD MCE for attending live, or 1.75hrs ZNCD MCE for watching on-demand here.

The energy efficient integrated systems approach often requires significant expertise to ensure that they are designed, integrated, commissioned, and operated effectively. Furthermore, the customary practice of building energy retrofits is to treat such projects as standalone engineering projects, which is often too disruptive to the building occupants and activities because they are not aligned with the real estate life cycle.A scalable approach to deploying energy efficient integrated systems in offices and schools by opportunistically incorporating them within adaptive reuse projects ranging from tenant fit outs to whole building renovations is more productive. We describe a suite of Integrated Systems Packages (ISPs) that are ‘pre-engineered’ to minimize expertise and effort required for implementation. Each ISP is tailored to a particular project scope, such as tenant fit out, equipment replacement, whole building renovation, etc. Each ISP is also pre-validated with respect to functionality and energy performance to reduce real and perceived risk. We review ISP toolkits which include template specifications and other resources.Learn More:What You Can Do Now: Incorporate Energy Efficiency into Tenant Improvement and Renovation Projects with Integrated Systems PackagesEarn 1 LU|HSW and 1hr of ZNCD MCE for attending live.https://youtu.be/DI4P_fq2EM8 Additional Resources Additional Resources PDF Presentation | Adaptive Reuse, Efficient by Default: Projects with Embedded Energy Efficiency
