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

When: Wednesday September 14th, 2022 12pm – 1pmUnits: 1 LU/HSW (pending approval)Moderator:Avideh Haghighi AIA, LFA, LEED GA --- Associate Principal | ZGF ARCHITECTS LLPSpeaker:Brad Benke, AIA | Researcher, Carbon Leadership ForumJack Rusk, LEED AP | Climate Strategist, EHDDDescription:This program is the first in a 3 part series on Carbon made in partnership with the Carbon Leadership Forum.Kicking off the series with basic terminology and metrics, this program will guide audience members through core concepts of carbon analysis and demystify terms such as embodied carbon, whole-life carbon, and zero carbon. Attendees will leave this program with a foundational understanding of the built environment’s contribution to global climate change including how, when, and where greenhouse gas emissions are generated over the full life cycle of a building.Please Note:To qualify for AIA course credit and/or a ZNCD certificate of completion, you must stay logged in to the live webinar. It may take several weeks before credits are posted to your AIA transcript or before you receive your certificate of completion.
