This intensive workshop offers participants the opportunity to compare projected and actual energy performance of an existing building through spreadsheet-based analyses. The workshop will introduce the analysis process and specific building-based and consumption metrics (electric, water, fan, ventilation, heating/cooling, etc.) to be calculated. The objectives of this workshop are: a) to give designers an easy-to-use method to evaluate energy consumption on past projects; b) to compare projected and actual energy consumption; and, c) to develop a better understanding of where potential savings can occur. Collaborative teams of design professionals and selected students will be given information on a Northwest building to evaluate and analyze. Materials are developed by the Society of Building Science Educators Carbon Neutral Curriculum Materials Project: http://www.sbse.org/resources/

Instructors:
Alison Kwok, Ph.D., AIA is a professor of architecture at the University of Oregon and teaches design studios, seminars in climatic design, lighting, and building performance, as well as courses in environmental technology. Her current research includes adaptive and mitigation strategies for climate change, thermal comfort, natural ventilation, post-occupancy evaluation, and case studies of building performance. She is author, with Walter Grondzik of The Green Studio Handbook: Environmental Strategies for Schematic Design.
D. Michael Utzinger, engineer and architect, is a professor of architecture at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Dr. Utzinger is an architect and professional engineer with over 30 years experience in high performance building design and education. He has consulted on daylighting, natural ventilation, passive solar, photovoltaic and carbon neutral building design. His recent papers have focused on integrating natural ventilation into building design and HVAC systems. As an environmental consultant, he was responsible for the LEED Carbon Neutral Innovation Credit for the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center completed in 2007.
