SBX2023 Session Highlight: Indoor Environmental Quality

June 1, 2023 By SBC staff

Join us virtually for the Smart Buildings Exchange (SBX) 2023 Indoor Environmental Quality session on August 16th from 1:30 – 3:00 pm PT. Christopher Meek with the University of Washington’s Integrated Design Lab will moderate the discussion between IEQ experts Seema Bhangar (US Green Building Council), Vivian Loftness (Carnegie Mellon University), and Stephanie Taylor (Building4Health). You don’t want to miss this session — register now!

Session description
While the Covid pandemic certainly shined a bright light on the importance of healthy indoor environments, creating and maintaining indoor environmental quality has a pre-Covid history and a post-Covid challenge. The ROI of health and comfort conditions is expressed in employee recruitment, retention, and productivity. This session will explore the lessons learned from this reinvigorated focus on healthy indoor air and technologies that were deployed during the pandemic and their measured or perceived benefits.

SBX2023 Session Highlight: Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings

May 23, 2023 By SBC staff

Join us virtually for the Smart Buildings Exchange (SBX) 2023 Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings (GEBs) session on August 15th from 10:30 am – 12:00 pm PT.

Session description
Continued progress toward the electrification of the built environment creates both a massive challenge and an opportunity for eliminating carbon emissions. The challenge of new loads from electrification on the utility system requires enhanced abilities for shifting, shedding, and modulating those loads to the mutual benefit of the building owner and serving utility. The effort to scale grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEBs) is well underway. What are the risks to all parties in getting this wrong? This session will bring together voices from the nation’s leading national laboratory on GEBs with building owners and service providers who are deploying GEBs strategies in commercial and institutional buildings across the country.

Speakers
Tanya Barham, Community Energy Labs
Courtney Blodgett, Edo
Rich Brown, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
Jingjing Liu, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
David Logsdon, Seattle City Light (moderator)

Webinar: HVAC Building Operations and IAQ at Pandemic’s “End”

May 22, 2023 By SBC staff

HVAC Building Operations and IAQ at Pandemic’s “End”

Unraveling pandemic, policy, and other guidelines to understandHVAC best practices and efficient building operations

WSU Energy Program is teaming up with the Smart Buildings Center to offer a no-cost webinar for Resource Conservation Managers, Energy Managers, Sustainability Managers, and others at public facilities in Washington State (others welcome to attend)

Wednesday, June 7, 2023

2:00 to 3:00 PM Pacific Time

via Zoom

How does the end of pandemic emergency rules affect HVAC building operations and indoor air quality (IAQ)? Can we have healthy IAQ while fulfilling Washington State Clean Building Standard requirements? Measures such as higher grade filters, flushing out buildings, and maximizing outdoor air intake helped mitigate infection risk, but also resulted in the increase of energy waste and reduced building energy efficiency.

Attend this webinar to hear how an eastern Washington K-12 RCM and King County Metro Transit facility energy manager navigate changes in HVAC operations due to the pandemic. Hear about IAQ guidelines from a state Department of Health specialist, and about the intersection of IAQ with energy efficiency from a state Department of Commerce building performance specialist.

When you register, you’ll have an opportunity to submit a question for the panelists. There will also be a Q&A session during the webinar.

Speakers:

Nancy Bernard, Washington State Department of Health
Travis Bown, Mead School District
Luke Howard, Washington State Department of Commerce
Nicole Laky, King County Metro Transit
