Climate Consultancy: The New Face of Engineering
This free web seminar learning suite is a three part series discussing the role and application of engineering in a climate constrained built environment. Participants can register for all three seminars for a live, interactive exchange or view seminars on demand.
Climate Change & Technology: Costs & Risks of Developing Clean Tech
With abundant innovation and research related to sustainability and climate change, it can be hard to decipher which technologies are suitable from a cost perspective and which ones drive the greatest risk.
Learning Objectives:
- Displacement Ventilation
- Natural Ventilation
- Med Gas Recapture
- Renewable Technologies
- Carbon Sequestration
Climate Change & Design: 8 Steps to Developing & Administrating Reduction
Many building facilitators see an opportunity to reduce their building’s carbon footprint and reduce operational costs by selling carbon offsets. This new revenue stream continues to finance a deeper reduction program.
Designing reduction measures for buildings require backcasting and forward thinking strategies. Collecting consumption data and moving through detailed facility assessments also includes close examination of Energy Conservation Measures.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn what types of information are needed to properly compile data for generating a complete inventory
- Discover how audits identify energy use patterns and how to use this to a building’s advantage.
- Learn how breaking down data with respect to each emission source uncovers GHG emission-reduction opportunities
- Learn how baselines take the guess work out of emission measurement, driving accurate monetization of GHG reduction efforts
- Understand the importance of certification
Climate Change: From Auditing to Policy – 10 Steps to Prepare Your Building for Cap & Trade
Engineers are well aligned for creating new-era energy strategies for a carbon constrained world. With the emergence of Cap and Trade on the horizon, engineers are fulfilling a role uniquely suited to emerging trends in green building. From auditing, to benchmarking to reduction goal formulation, engineers are steering building owners through certification assistance, energy modeling, rebates and incentives, policy research to create long term energy strategy.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn what types of information are needed to properly compile data for generating a complete inventory
- Discover how audits identify energy use patterns and how to use this to a buildings advantage
- Learn how evaluating feasible, practical and cost effective energy conservation measures can drive a long term energy strategy
- Understand how knowledge about policy & legislation can have a positive impact on long-term ROI
