This session will begin with an explanation of the importance of energy efficiency, particularly with today's evolving grid portfolio. Attendees will be provided with an overview of the energy modeling process and a methodology for integrating it into the design process. They will also learn about a variety of ways to think about improving energy performance in building design. Using a medical office building as a case study, the session will look at a number of appropriate energy-efficiency strategies and will demonstrate how different strategies can be combined to achieve higher performance and value.
Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:
- Explain the importance of energy efficiency in today's evolving electric grid portfolio.
- Explain the energy modeling process and a methodology for design process integration.
- Recognize the value early energy analysis provides to the design process and client decision-making.
- Identify a range of energy-efficiency options and their impacts on energy outcomes during various stages of design.
