SUMMARY:What Went Wrong?
DESCRIPTION:The IESNA Design Guide 7-1994 reveals how lighting professionals must function simultaneously as engineers\, artists\, code experts\, project coordinators\, collaborators\, administrators\, advocates\, and evaluators. Today\, the same lighting professionals must also be well-versed in the emerging technologies that lighting is expanding into or serving as infrastructure for: IoT\, smart buildings\, light and health\, horticultural lighting\, and an endless integration potential. \nThat being said\, is there potential to make mistakes? (That’s a big YES) \nHindsight is 20/20\, as people say. On September 22nd\, 2020\, we invite you to learn from the mistakes of three seasoned lighting professionals in a live panel-based webinar. The panelists will dissect key avoidable issues across different stages of their past lighting projects. Come ready to identify common lighting system design and implementation pitfalls through real examples\, understand why and what went wrong\, and more importantly\, leverage strategies to proactively overcome these obstacles. \nJoin moderator Armando Berdiel with panelists Shaun Darragh and Daniel Salinas for this enlightening webinar!

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 \nSmart Buildings: Creating Intelligent Spaces\nSeptember 18th\, 2020\, 12:00 – 1:00 PM \nThe Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming the world\, including the built environment. This transformation is already underway leading to improved organizational productivity\, better space utilization\, and more efficient and healthier buildings. To make this transformation successful\, it’s important to both understand the technology and practices as well as the cross-organizational nature of adopting smart projects. Microsoft has keen insight here based on its own adoption of smart technologies at their buildings as well as through close working relationships with its partner ecosystem. Microsoft will share a number of key considerations that can help building owners and operators make a successful transformation to buildings that are more agile\, flexible\, efficient\, and productive. \nRegister now for these engaging virtual panel discussions during Smart Buildings Week!

SUMMARY:Promoting Energy Efficient Lighting Systems
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever been involved in a project where the new LED fixtures have been value engineered out and replaced by retrofit kits\, TLEDs\, fluorescent technology\, or disregarded from the project altogether? \nHas your Networked Lighting Control (NLC) system design been downscaled to a simple wallbox solution? \nAll too often\, new construction and renovation projects undergo value engineering which can lower up-front costs and make the project seem more approachable. Unfortunately\, this practice frequently leads to overspending in post-installation support\, not meeting stakeholder expectations\, decreasing quality\, and significant energy savings and non-energy benefits value being left on the table. \nWhile industry actors have made significant investments in outreach\, education\, and incentive programs to promote appropriate design adoption\, significant barriers still exist. This class will delve into these barriers as well as provide a set of tools\, techniques\, to help Lighting Practitioners ensure the most appropriate design highlighting quality and comfort is implemented in their projects. These tools and techniques will include: \n\nLighting Audit\nEfficient Financial Statements\nEnergy and non-Energy Benefits\nQualifying Questions\nUse Cases\nDesign Options with Estimates\nElevator Sales Pitch\n\nWho Should Attend\nThis workshop is suitable for lighting practitioners\, including designers\, contractors\, building operators\, architects\, engineers\, sales representatives\, as well as utility staff. \nLearning Goals \n\nEvaluate “good\, better\, best” approaches\, and how to navigate between them\nAnalyze energy savings and non-energy technological value that LEDs and NLCs can provide\nUnderstand techniques\, tools\, and resources on how to advance energy efficiency projects\nExplore use cases that highlight overspending resources post-completion\, and how appropriate design execution mitigates this risk

SUMMARY:Benefits of Energy and Domestic Water Submetering
DESCRIPTION:One of the top priorities of building owners and operators is the need for more efficient and accurate BTU metering. \nHaving good and reliable information can help reduce the amount of energy used\, by operating more efficiently. This can help reduce operational costs and recover revenue from inaccurate billing. \nSince the early 1980’s ultrasonic clamp-on Flow meters have been utilized for BTU metering and submetering. Some advantages of clamp-on meters are; retrofit capability—no shutdown required\, all in one BTU meter\, low flow sensitivity for measuring off peak flows\, and 1% accuracy. \nIn this presentation we will cover clamp-on BTU metering technology\, features\, accuracy\, and discuss the benefits of submetering in the energy industry.

SUMMARY:Audit & Retrofit Techniques
DESCRIPTION:The advent of LED lighting has caused a seismic shift in the lighting industry\, creating a renewed interest in how to best upgrade the lighting in existing buildings. One of the best places to start is to do an inventory of what your current lighting system is and what its strengths and weaknesses are. This will enable you to identify where to put most of your efforts. \nOnce the audit is evaluated\, it is time to start considering the most appropriate lighting options. Whether to retrofit\, replace\, or redesign are serious decisions to make\, and they will have implication on the costs\, energy savings\, and productivity of the resulting lighting system. No one approach is right for every project. If the project is dependent on utility participation\, there may be other factors to consider as well. \nAttendees of this class will gain access to the following tools to assist them on a variety of lighting upgrades projects. \n\nHow to evaluate your existing lighting system.\nKnowing what areas are most important to focus on.\nUnderstanding when to retrofit the existing fixtures\, and when they should be replaced.\nLearning the opportunities to add controls to the lighting project.\nHow to leverage utility incentives to maximize your savings.
