SUMMARY:Building Energy Simulation Forum: Using Analytics to Achieve High Performance Buildings
DESCRIPTION:As building energy and system-level monitoring becomes commonplace\, facilities teams are faced with an overwhelming amount of data. This data does not typically lead to insights or corrective actions unless it is stored\, organized\, and analyzed in automated ways. With sophisticated software applied to everyday building operations\, building owners are reaping the cost-savings benefits of energy management and information systems (EMIS) that embed building analytics. Design engineers are beginning to specify EMIS from the start\, which helps maintain as-commissioned performance. \nThe Smart Energy Analytics Campaign is a program led by the U.S. Department of Energy that supports building analytics by providing its participants with technical assistance and opportunities for national recognition.  This presentation will provide an introduction to EMIS\, key attributes for specification\, and an overview of how to get involved in the Campaign. \nBoxed lunches will be provided. \nAbout the presenter: \nHannah Kramer\, P.E. \nConsultant\, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Affiliate \nHannah Kramer is working with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as the technical lead on a U.S. Department of Energy program to advance the adoption of Energy Management and Information Systems (EMIS) and monitoring-based commissioning across the country. She is responsible for program design\, technical support to participants\, and the development of market characterization studies.  Previously\, Hannah was the Director of Engineering at PECI/CLEAResult where she oversaw technical delivery\, emerging technologies research\, and development of EMIS-enabled utility programs. Over the last 17 years\, she has helped develop numerous resources for the commissioning and energy efficiency industry. Hannah has a mechanical engineering degree from Iowa State University and completed her masters at UC Berkeley in the Energy and Resources Group.  She is a registered professional engineer in the state of Oregon.

SUMMARY:All About ADUs + Zero Energy ADU Tour
DESCRIPTION:This half-day course + zero energy ADU tour is intended for real estate\, building and design professionals looking to increase their knowledge about Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) development in Bend.\n> All About ADUs class | 8AM – 12PM | McMenamins Old St Francis School\n> Zero Energy ADU tour (optional) | 12:15PM – 1:15PM | Address sent via email (5-min drive from McMenamins) \nThe number of ADUs being developed in Bend is on the rise thanks to a 2016 measure by the Bend City Council that makes it easier\, more predictable\, and less expensive for homeowners to build an ADU. More ADUs were developed in 2016 than in any previous year and this Bend Bulletin article shows permit applications are increasing exponentially. Meanwhile\, in the summer of 2016\, the Oregon Department of Revenue codified some important rules around the proper property taxation treatment of ADUs. \nRealtors\, builders and designers on the cutting edge of this emerging development trend will be able to help homeowners/developers understand site selection\, development process\, costs of development\, and the return on investment of ADUs. Earth Advantage Brokers may also take an exam and earn the ADU Specialist designation in order to respond to increasing client demand for properties with ADU potential. Learn more about this class and how to earn the ADU Specialist Designation. \nInstructor\nThis course will be taught by Portland-based ADU expert Kol Peterson\, who has been teaching this class in the Portland region for more than three years. Kol also teaches a day long ADU class for homeowners and runs Portland’s city-wide tour of ADUs. Kol will also be hosting an ADU Q&A Happy Hour event on Thursday evening (9/28) in collaboration with The Energy Challenge Week. \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:August BESF: Annual Energy and Daylight Co-Simulation for Lighting and Shading Controls
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Energy Trust New Building’s August Building Energy Simulation Forum. Shading controls are typically not included in energy modeling and often not considered in daylight modeling. Similarly\, electric lighting is usually represented as a fixed schedule or with the use of simplified daylight harvesting calculations. EnergyPlus approaches this with the split-flux method while Radiance employs a more accurate ray-tracing technique. \nThis presentation will discuss a co-simulation workflow between EnergyPlus and Radiance in a mid-rise commercial office project. This work includes a series of energy and daylighting simulations that produce detailed operation schedules\, informing the whole building energy use and daylighting impacts of multiple shading systems.

SUMMARY:Site Visit: Ashland 'Zero Energy' Home
DESCRIPTION:Get a first-hand look at this recently built Ashland home that has the potential to use ‘zero energy’!\nJoin Energy Trust of Oregon for a guided CE home tour that combines simple beauty with outstanding energy performance. \nThis home achieved ‘zero energy’ status by earning a near-perfect EPS®. The home requires very little energy overall and has the potential to meet or exceed that demand by producing enough energy on-site via solar panels\, making the energy consumption essentially zero. From thick double-stud walls and triple-pane windows to rooftop solar panels and a ductless mini-split heat pump\, the benefits of comfort and savings in this home allows it to perform 99% better than a typical code home. \nEvery 1 in 7 new homes in Medford receive an EPS verifying their energy efficiency is at least 10% better than code\, and this tour will help you understand how these EPS-rated homes can be a good fit for your clients. Find out how this home achieved the ‘zero energy’ standard and what EPS means for homebuyers: A more comfortable\, durable home with healthier air quality and cost-saving energy efficiency that homebuyers can feel good about. \nLearning Opportunities\n\nSee first-hand what above-code features are included in this EPS home\nGain access to energy efficiency resources that you can pass along to your clients\nLearn how to connect your new and existing home customers with EPS builders/contractors\nTranslate energy efficiency into health/comfort/durability/savings benefits that will resonate with different clients\n\nThe exact addresses for the home tour will be emailed to those that RSVP. \nWe also invite you to attend our Understanding Solar Energy Solutions training on May 25 at the Rogue Valley Association of REALTORS® in Medford! \nQuestions?
