FR17T1 Too often specifying architects are confronted with a myriad of "Green" products for buildings. Architects, who cannot put staff time into research at the depth that is required, can learn from the research we have done at Good Energies, a global investor in energy efficiency and renewables. My background as a LEED AP architect turned venture capitalist requires me to study, in depth, a large number of the technologies needed for the greening of our buildings. Although we all know that passive techniques such as siting, judicious use of overhangs and natural ventilation are the first line of defense, we are frequently being called on to design with additional, new technological tools. Topics covered will include electrochromics and super-insulating windows, LED myths and facts around issues of lifetime, efficacy, color consistency, distribution, failure, plasma lighting, fluorescent innovation, smart grid/meters, wireless/ battery-less controls, continuous commissioning products and more. The attributes and disadvantages of these and other technologies will be discussed. Research on each of these was done by speaking to experts at government and university labs, consultants and experts in the US and the EU. (Green Building strategies which are not applicable to the Northeast US will not be covered). Speaker: Pat Sapinsley Download PDF of Presentation:
