Technical Session
The Building Automation System's Critical Role Within LEED
How does a Building Automation System supports or contributes to LEED points? To determine how designing and specifying a building automation system will contribute to LEED Certification points, it is crucial to understand: how points are generated under the basic categories of LEED for New Construction and Existing Buildings; the technical capabilities and primary goals of utilizing a B.A.S.; and how these are integrated in the building design and specification. This seminar will explore these avenues, and help you determine where a building automation system contributes, or in some ways, doesn’t contribute to LEED Certification.
John Glaeser, LEED AP
Business Development Manager, Siemens Building Technologies
Mr. Glaeser grew up working with HVAC and plumbing systems as a trade apprentice. After receiving his B.S. from the University of Detroit Mercy in Information Systems, he began his career in the field of automation as an Instrumentation & Controls Technician for a Fortune 500 natural gas and electric provider. In this role, he was responsible for the installation, startup, trouble-shooting and commissioning of industrial and process automation systems, as well as facility automation and life safety systems. He then moved into a role with an MEP consulting firm where he designed and commissioned building automation systems on large healthcare, higher education, commercial and mission critical construction projects. After several years in a consulting role, and realizing his enthusiasm for the more hands-on aspect of commissioning, he moved into the role of Director of Commissioning with an Engineering News Record top 200 consulting firm. In his current role, Mr. Glaeser serves as a building management system consultant and works with consulting and specifying engineers to enhance their knowledge and achieve better project outcomes. He is a LEED Accredited Professional and an ASHRAE Commissioning Process Management Professional.
Dinner Program
Hydronic Loops: Why performance does not always match design
Energy and performance models make a few faulty assumptions about hydronic performance. By understanding these assumption, we can have a better view of actual performance. This presentation will examine the performance impact of improper valve sizing, unstable system pressures and balancing device selection. It also examines the physical effects of static balancing (valve authority) and coil degradation.
David Kandel
