WORKSHOPSFull-DayTuesday March 5, 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Complete speaker bios at nesea.org/buildingenergy/speakers

❚ Auditing Multifamily BuildingsWorkshop Speakers: Heather Nolen, Steven Winter Associates; F.L. Andrew Padian, Community Preservation CorporationMany people who have expertise in single family buildings run away from multifamily buildings, which are some of the most profitable, high occupancy, and shockingly, most energy inefficient buildings in the country! Learn from two experienced auditors how to look at larger buildings with an eye toward details which can generate massive energy savings. The morn-ing will be spent discussing the science of multifamily building efficiency and in the afternoon we’ll head out to do an audit on a nearby building.

❚ Biomimicry in Action: Applying Nature’s Lessons for Resilient DesignWorkshop Speakers: Janus Welton, Eoc-Arch Designworks; Dr. Anamarija Frankic,University of Massachusetts, Boston; Randall Anway, New Tapestry, LLCIn this “hands-on, minds-on” workshop, participants will inter-face with practicing professionals who are actively working in the emerging field of biomimetic design. Providing just enough theory, we will explore cutting edge thinking about resilient design and what it means to look deeply into the natural world for lessons we can take back to the design studio.

❚ Building an Air-Tight HomeWorkshop Speakers: Mark Newey, Center for EcoTechnology;Paul Huijing, Paul Huijing, Inc.This workshop will focus on practical strategies for assuring building air-tightness. It will provide an overview of the basic building science that causes air leakage, identify typical air leakage paths, and describe best practices for preventing or sealing leakage points. This workshop will also cover how to manage the new construction process to assure that air leakage can be minimized at every stage. Topics covered include: build-ing code, checking air tightness, key building science concepts, ventilation, and more.

❚ Building Passive House Homes – Details, Process, Lessons LearnedWorkshop Speakers: Declan Keefe, Placetailor; Chris Corson, EcoCor Design Build; Matthew O’Malia, GO Logic, LLC; Alan Gibson, GO Logic, LLCNot long ago Passive House was an exotic, just-out-of-reach fantasy for us in the Northeast. But in the last couple years, three New England home builders with dramatically different styles and approaches have embraced the mode of “all-Passive House, all the time.” And they’re doing it cost-effectively.

How do they do it? Smoke and mirrors? We’ll cover designs, details, materials, subcontractor push-back, costs, scheduling, and lessons learned about things these builders will never try again.

❚ Building Science 101Workshop Speaker: David Keefe, Vermont Energy Investment CorpThis overview of residential energy efficiency is appropriate for future auditors, would-be retrofitters, and anyone else who lives in a house. We’ll cover the basics of heat, air, and moisture flow; insulation and air sealing materials; comparing heating fuels, heating systems, and hot water systems; common build-ing performance problems and solutions; blower door testing; condensation, indoor air quality, and combustion safety. No previous technical knowledge is needed.

❚ Crash Course on Building Science for Military VeteransWorkshop Speaker: Henry Gifford, Architecture and Energy LimitedThis session will help veterans in the Northeast start down the path to becoming energy professionals. Energy performance and renewable energy companies need people with keen observa-tional skills who are able to work independently on technical tasks, sometimes in unpleasant conditions and at odd hours: things veterans have been trained for. This session is a first step toward helping veterans re-tool their technical skills and help reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

❚ Deep Energy RetrofitsWorkshop Speakers: Linda Wigington, Affordable Comfort; Matt Berges, The Affordable Green Housing Center; Greg Pedrick, NYSERDA; Cador Pricejones, Byggmeister; Ken Neuhauser, Building Science Corporation; Kristen Simmons, Kristen Simmons Architects; Kerry Koskinen, RetroFuture RemodelingA Deep Energy Retrofit (DER) is a comprehensive re-engineering of a home or building aimed at reducing its heating energy con-sumption by as much as 80% and its total energy consumption by 50% or more. Case studies will include low-income housing

on a tight budget; market-rate retrofits; and at least one Passive House retrofit. Topics will include design strategies; construc-tion details; mechanical systems; compromises made; hard lessons learned; and frank discussions of cost and payback. All experience levels welcome.

❚ Net Zero Energy and BeyondWorkshop Speakers: R. Carter Scott, Transformations, Inc; Mike Duclos, DEAP Energy GroupWe’ll show cost effective examples of homes modeled to produce over 10,000 kilowatt hours more than they use in a year. Now you can also use your car to power a portion of your house when the grid goes down! We’ll detail techniques and incentives for the shell and the renewable energy systems. We’ll discuss energy modeling, Passive House techniques to improve energy efficiency and passive survivability, monitor-ing, troubleshooting and more. This workshop is targeted to builders, developers, architects and others looking to regain a competitive advantage in today’s marketplace.

❚ PV 101: Grid-tied PV Systems for Architects, Engineers and General ContractorsWorkshop Speakers: Steven Strong, Luke McKneally, AIA, LEED,Pat Retelle, P.E., and Robert Erb, CSL, Solar Design AssociatesEverything your design and building team needs to know to successfully incorporate PV into their projects. Learn the ef-ficiencies and costs of different system options, general sizing guidelines, design and mounting options, designing a solar-friendly building, load and harvest calculations, availability of financial incentives, permitting issues, installation issues, coordination with other trades.

❚ Best Practices for Efficient Hot Water Systems in Single and Multifamily BuildingsWorkshop Speaker: Gary Klein, Affiliated International ManagementDomestic hot water use can be a very large proportion of the energy use in a residential, commercial or multifamily building, depending on occupancy type and climate. The components of the system must be integrated so that occupants will tend to use it efficiently. What is the most energy, water, and time efficient way to install a hot water system? How can these considerations be integrated into good building design? We’ll use an interactive, hands-on approach to explore the topic.

❚ Simplified Space Conditioning Strategies for Low Load HomesWorkshop Speakers: Duncan Prahl, IBACOS, Inc.; Dave Stecher, IBACOS, Inc.Your clients ask for the cheapest way to heat and cool their newly built (or retrofitted) air-tight, super-insulated building. This workshop helps guide your choices for low-load houses (retrofit or new construction) that meet industry comfort measures. We’ll discuss the lowest-installed-cost market-available system and how it has failed to meet existing standards, and we’ll identify other low-cost options. We’ll use field work to draw larger conclusions for a variety of climatic regions and house configurations.

❚ An Introduction to PHPP SoftwareWorkshop Speaker: David White, Right EnvironmentsThe PHPP is a great tool for predicting heating demand and peak heating load in low-load buildings. We’ll begin with a concise, directed overview of how the tool works and what advantages it offers, and continue with modeling the heating energy demand and peak heating load of a single family home.

❚ Conflicts Between Performance and Compliance: What it Takes to Make High Performance Buildings Workshop Speaker: Bill Rose, Prairie Research Institue, University of Illinois, Urbana – ChampaignThis workshop will examine some of the most contentious issues in our architectural, design, and construction practices: vapor barriers, attic ventilation, radon, house ventilation, moisture control, and energy reduction in buildings. We’ll use the “compliance versus performance” framework to dig into the guidelines, standards, and codes that govern these issues. We won’t provide “The Answer,” but you’ll leave with the tools and understanding for better designs and better buildings.

❚ Structural Engineering for a Brave New WorldWorkshop Speakers: Ben Brungraber, Fire Tower Engineered Timber;Len Morse-Fortier, Simpson, Gumpertz & HegerThese dynamic presenters will provide engineering case studies showing how to bring your old building into the 21st century as carefully and cost-effectively as possible, and how to stand the best chance that it will survive into the 22nd century. We’ll bring you up-to-date of current research and discuss risk-management and best practices.

❚ WUFI Passive Workshop: Next Gen Modeling Tool for Passive House and Building Professionals in North AmericaWorkshop Speaker: Katrin Klingenberg, Passive House Institute USOver the past year, the Passive House Institute US, Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics, and Owens Corning have partnered to develop an “All-In-One” modeling tool that fulfills newly identified modeling needs for a passive house or building in all climate zones of North America: WUFI Passive. We’ll introduce this next gen passive modeling tool, its expanded capabilities and planned improvements.

❚ Advanced PV Design for PractitionersWorkshop Speakers: Steven Strong, Luke McKneally, AIA, LEED,Pat Retelle, P.E., and Robert Erb, CSL, Solar Design AssociatesComparing system and components efficiencies - which hardware and systems configurations work best for different project types, matching of inverter and arrays, solar access, grid interconnection, code compliance, disconnects, fusing, labeling, grounding and ground faults, fire safety issues, common errors to avoid, system commissioning, view into the PV marketplace thru 2016.

❚ Commercial Passive House Design PrinciplesWorkshop Speaker: Adam Cohen, Structures Design/BuildWe will explore the basic principles of commercial Passive House Design and give an overview of commercial concepts and how they differ from residential projects. We’ll discuss three commercial building types: Standard, Complex and Special and present case studies of both European and US projects. A hands-on exercise will help put these ideas into practice Attendees should have familiarity with basic Passive House Design Principles.

❚ Fundamentals of Energy and Buildings: Calculating and Understanding Heating LoadsWorkshop Speaker: Peter Temple, Keene State CollegeThis workshop will cover basic knowledge and skills for heating load calculations for a simple building. Participants will gain experience by carrying out, evaluating, and comparing heat load calculations for a few different types of buildings. We’ll divide into working groups of similar experience levels and work with assistant instructors. Related energy principles, concepts, and calculations will be demystified and practiced.

❚ Getting Real About Primary Energy – What it Means for Passive House Standards in North AmericaWorkshop Speaker: Katrin Klingenberg, Passive House Institute USIt’s becoming essential in Passive House building that we understand the difference between site energy and primary energy. “Site energy” is consumption measured at the build-ing; “primary energy” is the total energy required to generate and deliver that site energy to the building, and can be a factor of three or more times the site energy. We’ll explain calculat-ing primary energy; discuss how it relates to fuel choice and geographic region; suggest how the current passive house standards and practices can be improved; and design strategies.

Keynote: Alex Blumberg of NPRWednesday, March 6 | 8:45 AM-10:30 AMPLENARY SPACE NEXT TO TRADE SHOWWe’re excited to have NPR’s Alex Blumberg delivering the BuildingEnergy 13 keynote address. He’ll be bringing his signature wit and clarity as he speaks on the issue of“economics for environmentalists.”

Alex Blumberg is a contributing editor for NPR’s Planet Money. He is also a producer for the public radio program This American Life, and an adjunct professor of journalism at Columbia Univer-sity. He is known for his prize winning radio documentaries and the This American Life Episode “Giant Pool of Money”, a program on the housing crisis. Called “the greatest explainer ever heard” by noted journalism professor Jay Rosen, Blumberg’s “Giant Pool of Money” became the inspiration for NPR’s Planet Money.

Following the Keynote will be the presentation of $10,000 to the winner of NESEA’s Zero Net Energy Building Award.
