 | Luncheon Briefing: High Performance Building Isn't Just the Building
The dream of a high performance building concentrates significant money and time on conception, design, construction, commissioning and even certification. Beaming project teams, building owners and occupants are properly thrilled at the ribbon cutting. Expert design teams, contractors and professionals pack up and move onto the next project. Now what? Who maintains those delicately balanced cutting edge systems? Who operates them day to day? How quickly can an occupant or well-meaning maintenance person defeat a high performance system creating a situation which easily sets the building to consume more energy and resources than a similar conventional building?

SeminarsIntegrated Engineering Design for Green Buildings
EcoBuild Fall—December 13, 2007 Integrated design doesn't happen naturally. A lot of non-standard communications happens on a project's front end, during pre-design, and throughout the design and construction process. Stressing the communications aspect of projects, this interactive session examines the roles of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers working in a more integrated fashion with owners, architects, commissioning providers, and operators on green-building projects.
