Session – 3: Speaker: Gordon Holness, Past President of ASHRAE (Gold Coast chapter)

Topic: ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 100-2015 Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings Abstract:: Renovation of existing buildings comprises around 86% of annual construction cost today. Increasing the energy efficiency of these existing build-ings can have 4 times the environmental impact of installation of renewable energy. Conservation and management through those current buildings represents our greatest opportunity for energy savings and a sustainable future. This Presentation will detail the objectives of the rewrite of ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 100-2006R which are to provide greater guidance and a more comprehensive approach to the retrofit of existing buildings for increased energy efficiency. This update also provided the opportunity to bring the standard bring it in line with other published ASHRAE documents, specifically ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2013, Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, and the 2007 ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Applications. This revised standard provides comprehensive and detailed descriptions of the processes and pro-cedures for the retrofit of existing residential and commercial buildings in order to achieve greater energy efficiency. The standard addresses major and minor modifications for both residential and commercial buildings. It addresses single and multiple activity buildings with variable occupancy periods (one shift, two shift, three shift) and it identifies the approach for 53 building types (Per CBECS and RECS) in 17 climate zones/sub-zones. At the same time, it identifies requirements for buildings with energy targets undergoing major retrofit and for buildings without energy targets (mostly industrial, agricultural and special laboratories) and provides multiple levels of compliance. Included within the revised standards are criteria for Energy Use Surveys and Auditing and require-ments related to Implementation and verification. Appendices are included for Life Cycle Cost Anal-ysis procedures as well as identification of over 600 potential Energy Efficiency Measures. Recogniz-ing that the actual occupancy of the building plays a key role in its performance, the standard es-tablished the need for development of an Energy Management Plan and an Operation &Maintenance Plan. It also addresses the requirements for ongoing or continuous commissioning and the use of building modelling and simulation to validate the results. Who is Mr. Holness?:

Gordon V.R. Holness is a consulting engineer and Chairman Emeritus of Albert Kahn Associates, Inc. Archi-tects and Engineers in Detroit Michigan. He has just completed his term as Society President ASHRAE 2009-10.

Session – 4:

Speaker: Robert Baker OPMP, Fellow, ASHRAE; Life Member, IAQA

(FWC chapter)

Topic: Role of HVAC systems in Transmission of Disease which is the subject of one of the most expensive ($0.5 million) ASHRAE research projects ever RP1603

Abstract: What is the role of HVAC systems (if any) in spreading or transmitting dis-ease? As we deal with recent disease outbreaks such as Ebola, the recent Measles inci-dents and the continuing level of Legionella, this subject becomes more and more important. The above question was the subject of one of ASHRAE’s most expensive and ambitious research pro-jects. It has not been completed and is under consideration for restructuring at present because in-vestigating this subject has turned out to be much more complex and difficult than was initially be-lieved. Initially, this project was designed to investigate disease transmission in commercial aircraft, terrestrial transportation and in buildings. This was done under the theory that similar mechanisms and variables were probably involved. The results of the literature review suggest that this is not the case and that investigating the subject appears much more complex than expected. Is the answer to break the project down into smaller pieces? This presentation will discuss some of the findings from the literature review and what they may tell us about the subject. What we do know and still need to find out will be the main direction of the presentation. Our heath is of interest to all of us and it is important that HVAC systems help us to have better health; not pose an additional risk.

Who is Mr. Baker?: Bob Baker has over 35 years of experience in all facets of building operation and maintenance. He heads a consulting practice that advises building owners on HVAC operations and maintenance matters and provides legal support in HVAC and IAQ matters. BBJ Consulting Service includes a team of Engineers and technical experts in all phases of HVAC maintenance and indoor environmental quality. Mr. Baker is an enthusiastic contributor to our industry through several organizations. He is past President of the Indoor Air Quality Association (IAQA). He is a member of the ASHRAE Technology Council, two Technical Committees, has written numerous papers, articles and is a regular ASHRAE presenter. He is chair of TC7.3 (Maintenance and Operations Management) and is the ASHRAE Rep-resentative to the Western HVAC Performance Alliance where he is Co-Chair of the Executive Com-mittee.

Session – 6:

Speaker: Tim Wentz, (Incoming President Elect ASHRAE)

Topic: The Interface between Risk and Ethics

Abstract: The topic of ethics has always been difficult to address because ethics itself is often seen as fluid; it depends on the person, the culture or the situation thereby making it difficult to measure or predict. Risk has many of the same attributes in that it can also be very fluid and difficult to measure or predict. The presentation looks at the relationship between risk and ethics while exploring some ways at placing risk and ethics into a common context where they can be viewed together and likely out-comes measured or predicted.
