Allies for Efficiency: Sustainable and Resilient School Design – Implementing the Beaverton School District Resilience Plan
2017-04-28 08:00 - 10:00 | Energy Trust of Oregon, 920 SW 6th Ave, Suite 900, Portland, OR, 97204, United States
Allies for Efficiency: Sustainable and Resilient School Design – Implementing the Beaverton School District Resilience Plan
In 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.
This 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.
Course Learning Objectives:

Understand the role schools can play in community emergency response and economic recovery after a major disaster
Learn how to engage community stakeholders to effectively incorporate resilience strategies into school designs
Understand 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
Identify strategies for emergency power, how to right-size an emergency generator for a school emergency shelter
Learn innovative strategies for designing and financing resilient solar power systems

High Performance Design Training: Natural Ventilation, Indoor Air Quality and Energy Performance
2017-03-23 04:00 - 08:00 | Lane Community College – Downtown Campus, 101 W 10th Ave, Eugene, OR, 97401, United States
High Performance Design Training: Natural Ventilation, Indoor Air Quality and Energy Performance
Natural ventilation is a fundamental design strategy in healthy, high-performance buildings. Also known as natural cooling, it provides benefits for occupants, such as improved thermal comfort and healthy indoor air quality. Additional energy benefits include reduced mechanical ventilation and access to night flush cooling. Despite the evidence supporting natural ventilation, design teams often encounter roadblocks due to technical concerns from owners or consultants, inexperience with non-traditional design analysis tools, or questions about comfort and air quality.
This four-hour workshop will detail the benefits of natural ventilation in commercial and institutional buildings and give participants tools to help overcome any barriers. Instructors will demonstrate how to set goals, approach the design process, test design alternatives and verify performance. Participants will also get insight into existing buildings that have implemented these strategies.
Course Learning Objectives:

Describe energy and non-energy (e.g. indoor air quality) benefits associated with implementing natural ventilation strategies
Understand the differences between natural ventilation for fresh air requirements, natural cooling for daytime comfort, and night flush cooling of thermal mass
Learn about tools used to design multiple natural ventilation strategies to meet various design goals in commercial buildings
Understand appropriate design analysis tools to analyze a range of natural ventilation design alternatives
Learn how to approach measurement and validation of natural ventilation strategies in existing buildings

Allies for Efficiency is presented by Energy Trust of Oregon
Westmoreland Union Manor Senior Housing Gets Energy Retrofit
Constructed 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.
To 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.
This 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.
Course Learning Objectives:

Outline design approaches for meeting the owner’s goals of reducing energy bills and adding comfort for building tenants
Understand the energy modeling process and expected reductions as they relate to the new building envelope and mechanical systems
Discuss 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
Review 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
Review constructability of the building exterior wall details, including the air barrier strategy
Discuss strategies for integrating construction work with minimal disruption to tenants
