Peter is widely recognized as a global leader in energy effi-ciency and sustainable building system design. Peter founded Rumsey Engineers in 1998, acquired by Integral Group in 2009. He served as Integral’s West Coast Director and Chief Technol-ogy Officer. He has consulted to venture capital firms, success-ful start-ups and has worked worldwide: in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. He has directed the design of 17 LEED Platinum Certified projects, 3 Living Building Chal-lenge and 15 Net Zero projects. Peter has been responsible for many key innovations in energy efficient design and analysis,

including pioneering the use of chilled beams, efficient outside air systems that eliminate reheat, radiant cooling systems, low pressure drop systems in U.S. laboratories, and the use of guaranteed performance contracts for HVAC systems - based solely on measured system data. His designs include the world’s highest scoring LEED Platinum CI, the first certified Net Zero project, the world’s first LEED Platinum pre-certified data center, the first Net Zero lab-oratory, the first LEED Gold microchip manufacturing plant, the first radiant cooled building in India for Infosys, the high-profile greening of The Empire State Building, and the largest Zero-Energy public building in the U.S. One of his major areas of innovation is making green affordable - creating prominent examples of green buildings that are affordable and practi-cal. In 2012 the Association of Energy Engineers named him “Renewable Energy Innovator of the Year.” His design of the Packard Foundation Net Zero HQ won ASHRAE’s prestigious Award of Engineering Excellence--only given 4 other times in ASHRAE’s 100-year history.

preSentation Summary

A study by LBNL found that over a typical year half of HVAC energy is consumed by pumps and fans. For all of this energy use, we still tend to focus on chiller and boiler efficiency when we are designing HVAC systems. Peter will discuss his experience with designing dramatically lower friction pump and fan systems. He will also share some of the work of his mentor, the highly regarded Singaporean engineer, Lee Eng Lock. His approach of careful attention to details often yields 50% energy savings in these critical but often ignored systems. The presentation will be focused on real world examples and strategies that can be used in all project types.

golden gate chapter president’s Message, deceMBer 2015

‘tis the season for shopping sharing I find the shopping season to be one of the most stressful times of the year. My personal torture derives from a bit of procrastination combined with a hint of perfectionism, i.e. finding something clever yet practical, beautiful yet unique, desirable yet inexpensive,... But the giving part is fun! Sharing with family and friends is a (mostly) positive experience. Ultimately, I find that the pleasure of sharing (usually) outweighs the pain of the shopping.

While on the subject of sharing... In my experience, ASHRAE people are a sharing-minded group. I often marvel at their willingness to share their time, share their knowledge and share a commitment to “serve humanity and promote a sustainable world”. Some of our members have contributed years of time serving on chapter boards, technical committees, and standards committees (but still I haven’t found an old-fart engagement committee chair!). And right now we have a few dozen volunteers contributing valuable time to our chapter to educate our members, support students and raise funds for research. Sure, we all have our selfish episodes (don’t expect me to share any of mine with you), but mostly we’re happy to share our time and our ideas. And many also share their money through donations to ASHRAE research.

(If you’re interested in joining this joyful ASHRAE sharing fest, then come to the next chapter meeting and chat up a board member or committee member. Or send me a note at erik@kolderupconsulting.com. For ASHRAE research donations see http://ggashrae.org/content.php?page=Research_Promotion).

So much sharing! It’s totally tubular (kids, ask your parents). And yet, for all the sharing we do, many of us, myself included, can do so much more. In so many ways!

Here’s an example that’s very dear to me. In September my partner Jennifer donated one of her kidneys. She didn’t know the recipient, but she knew that this act would transform the life of a person who was suffering. In fact, the donation helped several people by kicking off a chain of donations. Giving can involve some pain, and in her case it was actual physical pain. But for Jennifer the knowledge that her act helped save another life makes it all worth it.

I doubt I have the courage to share as Jennifer shared. Fortunately, there are many ways to help save lives that don’t involve surgery.

But just like shopping for the right holiday gift, finding the right path to helping others can be a challenge. Who do you give to? How do you know your donation is effective? How much should you give?

If you’re not sure where to start, I suggest checking out an organization called The Life You Can Save (www.thelifeyoucansave.org), which was founded by Princeton philosophy professor Peter Singer. They target helping people in extreme poverty. They help us by providing information on who to give to and how much to give.

Where do we give? Singer promotes the idea of effective giving, and The Life You Can Save identifies a list of charities shown by evidence to make effective use of donations. It’s even better than Amazon’s customer reviews.

How much do we give? Singer has some compelling ideas, and the website has some good explanations (and a video with Stephen Colbert here: http://www.thelifeyoucansave.org/Take-the-Pledge). The bottom line is he’s suggesting that we each donate a pretty significant amount, or really a pretty insignificant amount depending on your perspective. By his reckoning, if we all contribute these modest amounts for effective interventions, then we can almost eliminate extreme poverty. Here are a few examples.

income percent oF income Donation $50,000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1.9% . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $950 $75,000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3.0% . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $2,250 $100,000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .4.6% . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $4,600 $125,000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5.0% . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $6,250

Can we do this? When I think about what I’d have to give up, I realize it’s a lot less than a kidney. And when it’s gone, odds are I won’t even miss it.

Happy holidays to one and all!Erik Kolderup2015-2016 President, ASHRAE Golden Gate

decemBer – 2015 Tom Gilbertson, Chapter Historian

The year winds down…like fire to an ember…we know its soon over…when we reach December!

All through the year…causing the fire to glow…was good clean air…on the fuel to flow!

Clean air!....compliments of ASHRAE!

Golden Gate-ASHRAE Members know all about combustion, and what is required to “make it happen”….after all, we have been historically trained to understand perhaps this most important physical process….Important to ASHRAE…and important to the World!...”Air”….perhaps the most pervasive substance we have….and it was ASHRAE that led the way for the World to recognize, monitor, preserve, and protect…

this irreplaceable asset!...which brings us to our Golden Gate Chapter Member….Francis (Bud) J. Offermann III PE, CIH…By the way…that “CIH” stands for Certified Industrial Hygienist”….

Oh, yes…..“Bud” has had a little involvement in the conquest of cleaning up, preserving, and understanding the science of dealing with “air”!...and the historic trail that we have followed…..as ASHRAE led the way to understand, as well as deal with, air quality!....consider the following, partial list of Bud Offermann’s ASHRAE, and professional involvement….consider the following:

ProfessIonal organIzatIons…

So…how did Bud Offermann develop this “over-night” understanding of all of the issues that deal with air in our environment?...Easy!…Bud just happened to receive his BS in Mechanical Engineering from Renesselaer!...and then a Master Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford…and then further study at Berkeley in Air Pollution Monitoring and Control…and then for 34-years…as President of Indoor Environmental Engineering…doing contract research for Federal and State agencies…and ASHRAE, itself!

Professional Experience…over 90 separate, and special projects, including the developed tracer gas techniques used to evaluate the in situ performance of mechanical systems….(which by the way is arguably the most accurate method to quantify measures of air volume)…and expert testimony at a famous murder trail….

ProfessIonal CredentIals• Licensed Professional Engineer - Mechanical Engineering• Certified Industrial Hygienist - American Board of Industrial Hygienists• Also, Bud authored over 50 - PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS on air quality and monitoring….

Yep,....just another ordinary Golden Gate Chapter Member….
