Presented by Dr. Tat Fu, P.E., CPHD and Luke A Niezelski, P.E., the focus on Passive House, Net Zero and High Performance Buildings has never been higher as designers seek to improve the performance, reduce carbon emission, and optimize new buildings end-user comfort. With each new building we strive to get closer to reducing our impact on the environment. However, we cannot obtain a sustainable future without addressing the needs of our existing low performing buildings. In this presentation, we will explore how to analyze existing structures so that we can develop strategies that can be implemented in order to increase the energy performance of our existing buildings. We will review common upgrade options and discuss how energy modeling can be used as a decision-making tool when reviewing the available options. We will provide case studies showing examples of how these options can be reviewed and implemented. |
