SUMMARY:Allies for Efficiency: Sustainable and Resilient School Design – Implementing the Beaverton School District Resilience Plan
DESCRIPTION:Allies for Efficiency: Sustainable and Resilient School Design – Implementing the Beaverton School District Resilience Plan \nIn February 2013\, the Oregon Seismic Safety Policy Advisory Commission published The Oregon Resilience Plan\, which outlines the risks and challenges facing Oregonians from the inevitable Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. The plan provides sobering predictions about the impacts of a magnitude 9+ earthquake and is a call to action for all Oregonians. Administrators from the Beaverton School District read this plan and understood their responsibility to provide safe\, resilient schools for their community. The Beaverton School District\, which is currently executing a $680 million bond program approved by voters in May 2014\, sponsored a community-wide effort to translate the concepts of the Oregon Resilience Plan into forward-thinking design criteria\, which exceed code requirements for new school buildings. The District’s seven new schools will achieve seismic Risk Category IV for structural components and contain features that will allow the schools to serve as temporary community shelters after a disaster. \nThis presentation will provide an overview of the District’s bond program and discuss motivations for the resilience work\, including criteria selected and cost impacts. It will also use the newly completed middle school at Timberland as a design case study. Designed on a very tight timeline with an inflexible budget\, Timberland middle school is an innovative\, sustainable and resilient building that is 62 percent more efficient than a standard school building of its size\, and fully capable of functioning as a community emergency shelter post-disaster. \nCourse Learning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the role schools can play in community emergency response and economic recovery after a major disaster\nLearn how to engage community stakeholders to effectively incorporate resilience strategies into school designs\nUnderstand how to design holistically\, and incorporate efficient HVAC\, lighting and envelope\, resulting in a school building significantly more efficient than the standard building type baseline\nIdentify strategies for emergency power\, how to right-size an emergency generator for a school emergency shelter\nLearn innovative strategies for designing and financing resilient solar power systems\n\nPresenters: \nRichard L. Steinbrugge\, Executive Administrator for Facilities\, Beaverton School District\nJay Raskin\, Architect\, and Founder of Salus Resilience\nKent Yu\, Principal\, SEFT Consulting Group\nKurtis Zenner\, Associate\, Mahlum Architects\nDavid Chesley\, Principal\, Interface Engineering \n Breakfast and coffee provided. \n*Webinar option available *

SUMMARY:April BESF - Defining the Standard of Care for Energy Modelers: An Overview of ASHRAE Standard 209
DESCRIPTION:April 12 Building Energy Simulation Forum\nDefining the Standard of Care for Energy Modelers: An Overview of ASHRAE Standard 209 \nASHRAE Standard 209\, Energy Simulation Aided Design for Buildings\, aims to establish new\, minimum requirements for providing energy design assistance using building energy simulation and analysis. To comply with the Standard\, design teams will need to use modeling to evaluate energy-efficiency options earlier in the design process. This presentation provides an overview of how the Standard is structured\, its key requirements\, and its anticipated role in the industry. \nBuilding Energy Simulation Forum \nWednesday\, April 12\nPresentation: 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.\nQ&A: 1:00 – 1:15 p.m. \nEcotrust Building\n721 NW 9th Avenue (2nd Floor\, Billy Frank Jr. Conference Center)\nPortland\, OR 97209 \nBoxed lunches will be provided. \n*If you are unable to attend in person\, register as a remote attendee and the phone and webinar login information will be emailed to you.* \nAbout the presenter: \nDavid Reddy\, PE\nPrincipal\, 360 Analytics \nDavid Reddy is a principal at 360 Analytics\, a firm that specializes in building performance analysis. He is also currently an ASHRAE SPC-209 sub-committee chair. David and his team focus on using energy modeling and other analysis methods to assess and improve the design and operation of buildings. He has provided services on a wide range of building projects\, from single-family homes to sports stadiums\, and his principal interest is expanding the use of actual performance data to inform the building modeling process. In addition to consulting\, David is key contributor to the development of CBECC-Com\, an open-source software for energy code compliance analysis.

SUMMARY:Allies for Efficiency: Westmoreland Union Manor Senior Housing Gets Energy Retrofit
DESCRIPTION:Allies for Efficiency is presented by Energy Trust of Oregon\nWestmoreland Union Manor Senior Housing Gets Energy Retrofit\nConstructed in 1966\, Westmoreland Union Manor in Southeast Portland has provided housing for thousands of senior citizens living on very low fixed incomes. The seven-story building is a concrete and steel lift-slab structure comprised of 301 studio and one-bedroom apartments. Like many other government-built multifamily buildings of similar age around the country\, Westmoreland was due for a major renovation. The primary focus was to lower energy costs\, update building systems and enhance the quality and safety of the interior environment for tenants and staff. \nTo meet those goals\, the renovation improves the building envelope with R-26 walls and triple-pane windows. The heating and cooling system is also getting a boost thanks to high-efficiency ductless heat pumps\, along with heat recovery variable refrigerant flow systems and heat recovery ventilators in common areas. Other upgrades include installation of LED light fixtures\, a switch to condensing gas water heaters and a structural integrity upgrade to meet current earthquake standards. \nThis course will cover how the owner\, developer\, design team and general contractor have worked together to accomplish this major ongoing renovation while minimizing disruptions for tenants. It will also include a summary of the expected energy savings and the project’s incremental and associated financing costs. The presentation will be followed by a building tour looking behind the scenes into the construction process. \nCourse Learning Objectives: \n\nOutline design approaches for meeting the owner’s goals of reducing energy bills and adding comfort for building tenants\nUnderstand the energy modeling process and expected reductions as they relate to the new building envelope and mechanical systems\nDiscuss the financing strategies of the project\, including Low Income Tax Credits\, weatherization funds\, enhancements for reductions in energy use\, HUD SPRAC program and long-term debt\nReview the energy-use enhancements of retrofitting a large multifamily project\, as well as how to analyze existing conditions and apply appropriate upgrades to the envelope and MEP systems\nReview constructability of the building exterior wall details\, including the air barrier strategy\nDiscuss strategies for integrating construction work with minimal disruption to tenants\n\nProfessionals taking this training in Portland are eligible for 3 AIA LU/HSW continuing education credits\, and those attending the online webinar are eligible for 2 AIA LU/HSW continuing education credits. \nPresenters:\nBrian Sweeney\, Housing Development Center\nBill Lanning\, MWA Architects\nAndrew Lasse\, Interface Engineering\nHowie Petker\, WALSH Construction \nTime and Date:\n\nThursday\, February 23\, 2017\nPresentation 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.\nBuilding Tour 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. \n*Important Note: we will no longer be offering remote gatherings for AFE events. Instead\, we are opening up the presentation portion of the event for individual webinar access. We encourage everyone who can attend the live event to do so\, for full access to AIA CEU and to experience the building tour. If you are unable to make it in person to this event please register as a remote attendee and you will receive WebEx information.*
