SUMMARY:Virtual Smart Buildings Week
DESCRIPTION:In place of the planned in-person Smart Buildings Exchange 2020 event\, we are hosting a free Virtual Smart Buildings Week September 14th-17th\, 2020. Each day during the lunch hour\, a virtual session crafted from key topics and speaker commitments for our planned in-person event will feature a lively and interactive panel discussion as outlined below. Registration for the first three virtual sessions on September 14th\, 15th and 16th is now open and details for a fourth session on September 17th will be announced soon. These one-hour sessions each qualify for 1 Building Operator Certification (BOC) credential maintenance point and 0.10 IACET CEUs towards the renewal of industry certifications\, certificates and licenses including but not limited to AIA\, PE\, LEED\, IFMA\, ASHRAE\, and AEE. \nSmart Buildings: Using Data and Analytics to Improve Performance\nSeptember 14th\, 2020\, 12:00 – 1:00 PM\nThis session brings together two leading local smart service providers and two facility directors who have real world experience bringing smart solutions to their buildings. Designing for optimal performance is no guarantee that it will happen. The ability to acquire system performance data is no guarantee that the data will trigger operational improvements. In these two case studies\, buildings that should have been “top of their game” needed a new approach. Attendees will hear how ATS Automation and DB Engineering intervened to help facility directors collect relevant data from installed building systems\, use analytical tools to provide insights into performance problems\, and then – most importantly – help those facilities take action. The results speak for themselves. Improved energy performance that is persisting over time. \nModerator: Stan Price\, Smart Buildings Center \nPanelists: Pete Segall\, ATS Automation; Trevor Sodorff\, DB Engineering; Tim Wingert\, CBRE; Keith Berkoben\, Google \nSmart Buildings: Grid Enabled (and Efficient) Buildings\nSeptember 15th\, 2020\, 12:00 – 1:00 PM\nGrid enabled buildings (GEB) are equipped with technologies for load management that can respond to dynamic conditions in the electric grid. GEBs are generally more efficient (HVAC\, lighting\, envelope\, appliances)\, connected (hardware and software)\, smart (data and analytics)\, and flexible (loads\, generation\, storage). In an environment where hardware is increasingly attractively priced and a plethora of data is available\, building owners are able to provide a significant benefit to a utility’s growing portfolio of resources and play a creative role in meeting its resource capacity needs in real time and for the long term. GEBs also offer the owner the additional value proposition of taking more control of their utility costs. \nAn expert\, national panel will describe the key features of GEBs and outline the value streams that accrue to both the building owner and the serving utility in creating this grid enabled relationship. The panel will discuss both the technology required to create a two-way communication condition as well as the cost and benefits to all the parties in making GEBs a reality. \nModerators: Ben Levie\, Seattle City Light; Mark Lenssen\, Puget Sound Energy \nPanelists: Alexi Miller\, New Buildings Institute; Cara Carmichael\, Rocky Mountain Institute; Mark Frankel\, Ecotope; Mary Ann Piette\, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory \nSmart Buildings: Achieving Persistent Operational Performance\nSeptember 16th\, 2020\, 12:00 – 1:00 PM\nFacility energy performance and operations are often in direct conflict. It’s tough to hear\, but the scales are not balanced for building owners or operators. Social pressure\, building codes and new legislation are pushing EUI targets lower and lower. Advanced energy systems and smart building controls tease easy answers during initial design and construction\, but the harsh reality is that designing an efficient building does not translate to operations success and often only adds to reactive practices\, deferred maintenance and risk. In most cases\, operators are not prepared to take on complicated building systems and new-to-them technologies. With inadequate training or resources\, overtaxed staff override system settings to simply make it work. The result inadvertently drives up energy consumption and negates all efforts to optimize energy performance during design and construction while reducing asset life and introducing unnecessary risks. \nThe transition to smart and sustainable operations offers a best practice that balances the scales between energy expectations and operational realities. Panelists will outline proven approaches on actual projects that bridge design\, build\, train\, optimize to ensure current energy requirements are effective and met. \nModerator: Ric Cochrane\, McKinstry \nPanelists: Mike Kowalick\, South Landing EcoDistrict; Roy Buchert\, Kaiser Permanente; Norm Menter\, University of Washington \nRegister now for these engaging virtual panel discussions during Smart Buildings Week!

SUMMARY:Why Smart Buildings Virtual Executive Forum: Navigating the New World\, How the COVID-19 Crisis Has Strengthened the Case for Smart Buildings Practices & Technologies
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 crisis has impacted each of us and the world at large in ways that can’t be undone\, but it’s also strengthened the case for smart buildings technologies and practices to help mitigate unforeseen crisis\, maintain electrical grid reliability\, and better manage building operations to meet the needs of tenants\, occupants and other stakeholders to the built environment. Buildings and building technologies will play a critical role in driving society toward a new normal as we emerge from our homes and return to public life inside of buildings. As such\, the Smart Buildings Center is excited to invite you to a Why Smart Buildings Virtual Executive Forum: Navigating the New World\, How the COVID-19 Crisis Has Strengthened the Case for Smart Buildings Practices and Technologies. In this 90-minute webinar\, we will hear from Cara Carmichael of the Rocky Mountain Institute\, Art Smith of DB Engineering and Matt Golden of Recurve as they explore the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic on commercial buildings.

SUMMARY:BOC HVAC Controls Including Demand-Control Ventilation Webinar
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will highlight HVAC controls strategies\, including demand-control ventilation\, that building operators can implement in their buildings to make them more comfortable and efficient. \nBuilding Operator Certification (BOC)  offers live instructional webinars throughout the year to keep you informed on the dynamic field of facilities management. Learn practical solutions to deal with the energy hogs in your building from industry experts. \n\nFor the BOC graduate\, successful completion of the webinar and accompanying quiz provides 1.5 points towards maintaining your BOC Credential and .15 IACET CEU’s towards the renewal of industry certifications\, certificates and licenses including but not limited to AIA\, PE\, LEED\, IFMA\, ASHRAE\, and AEE. \nLive webinars are from 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. Eastern. Once broadcast\, they are available on demand in recorded format from the BOC webinar library.
