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.

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.
