IFMA-SD Tues 10/22 Breakfast - "Zero Net Energy"

Registration Deadline: Sunday, 10/20/19 at 11:59 PM

Best Practice Designs for Cost Effective Approaches to ZNE Commercial Building Enclosures for Facility Managers

This class is designed for facility managers and focuses on practical, cost effective ways to achieve Zero Net Energy by offsetting the amount of renewable energy systems through an efficient enclosure system. In recent years "green buildings" have been criticized because their energy performance has not lived up to expectations of their owners. New energy codes, green codes as well as green building programs like LEED put more scrutiny on energy efficiency than ever before. This class focuses on the building science fundamentals that strongly influence real world performance as well as building enclosure approaches and technologies to create enclosures that manage thermal and moisture loads to ensure building durability as well as energy efficiency. Fenestration options, insulation systems as well the importance of a well-designed air barrier system and their installation will be covered. This interactive class is designed to sort through the myriad of envelope choices in order to match the best insulation/air & water barrier system to the type of construction in order too prevent moisture problems and create a more energy efficient enclosure.

Learn real world examples to help you:

Select the best insulation system for a given application.
Understand how to integrate exterior insulation, with weather resistive barriers, building wraps, flashings and rain screens.
Quantify the energy impacts of window glazing factors and select the best fenestration technologies.
Write better specifications regarding insulation installation and air barriers
Select the best applications of Water, Air and Vapor retarders, impacts of intended and un-intended vapor retarders and the best water managements strategies.
