Presented by: Walter Grondzik, Ball State University; Bruce Haglund, University of Idaho; Alison Kwok, University of Oregon; Troy Peters, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and Graduate Teaching Assistants
Description: This intensive Tool Day workshop offers architects, engineers, builders, facility operators, educators, and students a hands-on experience in the use of relatively low-cost instrumentation (coupled with a structured methodology) to better understand building system and component performance. Participants will be taught appropriate use of such instrumentation and methods to facilitate building performance investigations. Tool Day efforts will focus around development of a case study that can be used as a model for future investigations.
Tool Day workshops are based upon the Vital Signs and the Agents of Change projects and provide real experiences with building performance analyses dealing with topics such as occupant comfort and satisfaction, system effectiveness, daylighting, and system energy and resource use. Design professionals should find the study of building performance to be a complement to their design skills (and a potential value-added professional service). Building operators should be better able to understand how to evaluate on-site building system performance. Educators and students will find valuable lessons to pass on to future classes.
ASES-related Tool Day workshops have been conducted in Washington, DC, Reno, NV, Austin, TX, Portland, OR, Cocoa, FL, Denver, CO, Cleveland, OH, San Diego, CA, and Buffalo, NY . Tool Day workshops have also been conducted for Parsons, Mithun, and Ove Arup & Partners. See http://www.sbse.org/toolday/ for detailed descriptions of past workshops.
Materials to be provided to attendees include: toolkits of handheld instruments for participants to use during the workshop and a workshop packet with supporting information for the day’s efforts and take-away information on tool resources. Participants are encouraged to bring laptop computers, digital cameras, and portable USB flash drives to assist with development of case study presentations.
Who should attend? Architects, engineers, builders, facility operators, educators, and students—particularly those interested in green and high-performance buildings.
To optimize hands-on experiences, enrollment will be strictly limited to 30 participants.
