SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 2018
The Commissioning Process in New and Existing Buildings (code 60)
8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., George R. Brown Convention Center
This introductory seminar focuses on how the building commissioning
process can be applied cost-effectively to new construction and to existing
facilities, with a strong emphasis on existing facilities applications. In this
course, you will learn the fundamentals of the commissioning process
through each step of a new construction project from predesign to
occupancy and operations. You will also learn how the application of the
commissioning process in existing facilities differs from new construction.
Learn about the benefits of commissioning and gain an appreciation for
how the process can improve the built environment, reduce environmental
impacts through responsible resource utilization, improve the quality of
design and construction, and raise the professional reputation of the entire
commissioning team.
Instructor: Rick Casault, P.E., Member ASHRAE

Energy Modeling Best Practices and Applications (code 61)
8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m., George R. Brown Convention Center
This seminar covers the fundamentals of building energy modeling
and explains how to use modeling to guide design decisions, with an
emphasis on HVAC. Integrating modeling into the design process from
the programming stage through post-occupancy and measurements and
verification will be discussed. The seminar explains modeling principles
and provides modeling tips related to the building envelope, plug loads,
lighting systems, and HVAC systems. Concluding with guidance on model
calibration and the use of energy models for measurement and verification,
this seminar also includes case studies and links to valuable modeling
resources.
Instructors: Joe Deringer, AIA, Member ASHRAE, LEED® AP; and Erik
