Sustainability and the Built Environment - ASME General Session
There is a concerted effort by urban planners, architects and engineers to make cities more sustainable. These efforts include a range of strategies such as the development of highly energy efficient buildings, deployment of distributed renewable energy resources, and increase of vegetative cover. Such strategies are often in direct competition (e.g., covering roofs with photovoltaic panels vs. a highly reflective membrane or a vegetated roof). In many cases these sustainability strategies result in complex interactions and unintended consequences for the urban environment. This session provides an overview of the urban climate system and a discussion of the underlying causes of the urban heat island. It will discuss various approaches to enhancing sustainability in the built environment including design and analysis tools suitable for both architects and engineers.

Intersecting Evidenced Based Design Inquiry & Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) - ASES Forum
Moderated by: Dale Brentrup AIA, Professor of Architecture and Director, Center for Integrated Building Design Research - Daylighting + Energy Performance
To achieve the greatest benefits from the promise of the Net-Zero/ Carbon Neutral workplace initiatives the commissioning of new and (especially) retrofit buildings must focus upon the quantifiable visualization of real-time envelope performance attributes, their component energy savings and subsequent environmental mitigation. Integrated project-delivery and evidenced based design processes are critically linked to the creation of next-generation, high-performance buildings. Architects can become aware of the energy performance consequences of their design decisions. When given timely and sufficient - but not excessive - performance data a design team will make both economical and energy efficient design choices. This may be thought of as a “dashboard” for the building.

Can CSP Be Baseload? Thermal Storage Update - ASES Forum
Moderated by: Robert Orsello, CEO, Triage Corp.
Fundamentally, Solar Energy is not viewed as a Base-load energy source by the nature of its intermittency, but emerging storage technologies may evolve this perception. Concentrating Solar Power (CSP), by definition, implies focused heat. Heat is not only the oldest form of harnessed energy, but outside of fuels, is one of the easiest and most efficient forms of energy to store. This session will bring the audience current information on the state of thermal storage technologies, provide objective arguments (pro and con) to using Storage and discuss the merits for integration of Storage with CSP for the creation of a dependable, viable Solar Base-load solution.

Cash from Clunkers: Retrofitting Buildings for High Performance - ASES Forum
Moderated by: James Nicolow, Director of Sustainability, Lord Aeck Sargent
Over 70 percent of current US commercial building stock was built before 1990, accounting for around 75 percent of energy consumption in the commercial sector. In 2006, The United States spent $438B on improvements and repairs to existing buildings, but a very small percentage of that went towards energy improvements. This forum will look at the opportunities that commercial buildings present for energy retrofits using examples from case studies as well as a proposal for financing retrofits on college and university campuses through privatized financing

Emerging Transportation
The first Emerging Transportation Plenary, in 2000, featured a review of all the (soon to be terminated) electric vehicles in production at the time by former GM CEO Bob Stempel. Since then plenaries have focused on reducing emissions and increasing the use of renewable energy in transportation. Now a decade later EVs are back and representatives from Nissan, GM, Tesla, Boulder and XOF1 will present the next generation of vehicles that can be charged from renewables for zero emission travel.

Emerging Architecture
Green Building, LEED Certification, Architecture 2030, AIA's sustainability and "Walk the Walk" initiatives are all continuing a conversation begun decades ago about energy and our built environment. These programs have raised society's concsiousness and helped move us closer to a sustainable energy future. But who actually buys, lives and works in these buildings? What about desiging buildings for the "rest of us" - those who can benefit the most from lower energy bills, increased comfort and less environmental impact, but can least afford it. This session will present people, organizations and projects who are working to provide a sustainable future for everyone.
Tentative Speakers/Companies Include:
Kate Stohr, Managing Director, Architecture for Humanity
