ASHRAE Technology Awards – Wisconsin Projects

Each year ASHRAE awards its members that develop innovative building designs applied to occupant comfort, indoor air quality and energy conservation.  The designs incorporate ASHRAE standards for energy management and indoor air quality.  We are currently looking for candidates from the Wisconsin Chapter that incorporate those unique and innovative design ideas into their projects.  Categories include residential (new and existing), public assembly (new and existing), commercial buildings (new and existing),  institutional buildings (new and existing, includes educational facilities and other institutional), health care facilities (new and existing) and industrial facilities or processes (new and existing).

Please use the following link for more information on the awards program: www.ashrae.org/cttc.  Winners for each category will be determined by the Wisconsin Chapter Board of Governors.  The winner in each category will be eligible to be submitted to the regional and national level to showcase projects designed by Wisconsin Chapter members.  Performance must be proven through one year of verified operating data.  Please submit your award applications to the Wisconsin Chapter CTTC Chair, Ryan McNally (ryan.mcnally@exp.com), by March 15^th, 2014.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This event has been changed to a 2-day Seminar on both March 6th and 7th.

After completing the walk-thru, the registrants will complete the various Energy Audit forms, define an energy intensity target, conduct preliminary energy audit calculations, prioritize identified energy conservation measures and prepare an outline Level 1 Energy Audit Report.

The second activity will be completing the various forms, worksheets and charts for bEQ submittal of the City of Milwaukee facility.

The final activity for the registrants will be the completion of a seminar assessment questionnaire.

Please register soon. Seats are limited.

There is a registration fee of $250 that must be paid in advance by check. Contact the chapter president for payment details.

The Wisconsin Chapter of ASHRAE is proud to announce that on February 20^th Ron Jarnagin (Distinguished Lecturer) from Pacific Northwest National Lab, located in Richland, Washington, will be presenting on Advanced Energy Guide Lines – Going Beyond Minimum Standards.

The Advanced Energy Design Guide (AEDG) series of documents is one of the most popular in ASHRAE’s history with well over a 100,000 copies in circulation.  Focused on providing clear guidance for achieving 30% energy savings in smaller commercial buildings, the AEDGs meet the need for a large number of projects where project budgets and design professionals might be in short supply.  The presenter chaired the initial AEDG for Small Offices as well as 3 additional guides and will offer perspectives on the partnership that contributed to the guides, the intent of the guides and how practitioners can apply the guides.
