August 9 Program
Steps Toward Achieving Advanced Energy Performance in Existing Buildings
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH: ASHRAE
97% of the U.S. building stock are existing buildings. According to CBECS, these buildings are becoming more energy inefficient each year.
What will be presented are the standards and guides that will make existing commercial buildings more efficient, healthy and comfortable. Examples of discovery for a library, fire hall, university classroom and lab facility, and a government office building will be presented.
Going from "energy efficiency & proper IEQ" to Net-Zero Energy Buildings will be introduced as a lead-in to the "Energy Goals and lntegrated Design" seminar which will take place the following morning, August 10, 2016 from 8:00-10:00 am.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Identify how to determine Energy Utilization lndex (EUI) for buildings.
- Examine differences between process and technical (testing-based) retro-commissioning approaches.
- Discuss application of Standards and Guides for achieving advanced energy performance and proper IEQ in existing buildings.
- Explore how results were obtained in Milwaukee, Salt Lake City, Chicago and Bermuda buildings.

Flance Learning Center opened to students in June 2014, and aims to be an exemplary early
learning center, serving children of all incomes and backgrounds, six-weeks to six-years of age in a new, $11.5 million facility. The center’s design team placed heavy emphasis on ensuring that indoor and outdoor spaces were resource-efficient, free of toxins, healthy for students, comfortable for teachers, and cost-effective. In recognition of this emphasis on health and environmental
sustainability, Flance Center is registered to become only the 4th LEED for Schools Certified
Preschool in the world. Universal Design features are also incorporated to create a convenient
experience for staff and students, regardless of physical ability, thereby creating an environment in which special-needs and typical-needs children can thrive side-by-side in the same classrooms.
