Join Philadelphia ASHRAE on student and membership promotion night for a presentation from ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer Jim Newman on Green & Sustainable Practices – How to Design a Healthier, More Profitable Building with Better Coordination Among Architects, Engineers and Owners. 

Description:

Learn how to better coordinate with other design professionals, and with owners and their teams to surpass ASHRAE Standards and design building systems with a higher indoor environmental quality (IEQ). This will not only help to conserve energy but will enhance the health, well-being and productivity of the building occupants, while saving money for building owners in the long run.

Presentation is AIA & GBCI Certified:

AIA Approved | 1.5 LU/HSW | NEWMAN01

GBCI Approved | 1.5 CE Hours | 0090010516

Learning Objectives:

•       Identify how to coordinate better with other disciplines, as well as with owners and their teams
•       Recognize good design trade-offs between the building envelope and the mechanical/electrical systems
•       Understand why people don’t want to change (especially building engineers) – and how to help them “play well with others”
•       Discover new resources that will help develop your expertise in sustainable design
•       Learn how to apply ASHRAE Standards to help achieve sustainability goals
•       Find out what’s happening to building industry codes in North America – and how buildings around the world are changing to meet and surpass codes
