SUMMARY:December Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Location: U of I Water Center Building 322 E. Front Street – Room 162 Boise\, ID 83702 \nShare Please join us for the December Chapter meeting! Title – Fully Leveraging Your Energy Model – A Field Guide Description – An energy model is neither a Revit button nor a “one-and-done” design activity. Rather\, energy models allow designers to go beyond aesthetics and see options through the lens of energy performance. The speaker identifies four phases where models improve energy performance and provide compelling evidence that energy models quantify performance of ideas that designers are interested in exploring. The speaker presents a scalable energy model workflow\, and even share insights where models pay for themselves\, including changes to the 179D energy efficiency tax deduction enabled by the Inflation Reduction Act. Leveraging valuable energy models throughout design helps architects achieve both aesthetic design goals AND ambitious energy performance targets. Learning Outcomes: 1. Appraise their firm’s approach and process to include an energy model as part of the design process. 2. Assess proven data that demonstrates that an early-phase energy model improves outcomes throughout the design process\, leading to enhanced energy performance. 3. Apply concepts and analytical insights so their firm leverages energy models throughout design to improve both aesthetics and energy performance. 4. Use the Early Phase Energy Model Checklist as part of their early-phase project discussions\, charrettes\, and design studies. 5. Produce designs that are eligible for the generous 179D energy efficiency tax deduction. Bio – Amanda Bogner is passionate about architecture and sustainability; she lives and breathes energy savings and provides clients with meaningful energy modeling analysis. She has significant knowledge of building systems\, and how those systems affect a facility’s overall performance. Her company’s tagline reflects her deep passion: “become more powerless.” Sometimes\, Amanda whispers that she’s trying to “convert the heathens.” Amanda\, president of ENERGY STUDIO\, is a registered mechanical engineer and is a certified ASHRAE building energy modeling professional (BEMP) Lecture Location – Idaho Water Center (322 East Front Street Boise\, ID 83702) at Classroom 162 Parking – Is available under the building with the 1st hour free and $1.00 for each hour after that.

We look forward to seeing you there! For a virtual meeting link\, please sign-up here: https://uidaho.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEkdO-oqTgjGNHYtuZxHY5LjZbdUJ2W3_rG Event Schedule Morning workshop sessions • 9:30 AM – Monitoring Based Commissioning and Fault Detection Diagnostic • 10:30 AM – Improve Energy Performance while Maintaining IEQ through Retro-Commissioning • Light Refreshments Provided! Monthly Meeting • 11:45 AM – ASHRAE Standard 241-Control of Infectious Aerosols • Lunch Provided! Topic Description: Morning Session 1: Monitoring Based Commissioning and Fault Detection Diagnostics: Using Big Data and Engineering to Improve Facility Performance Buildings are using way more data points for their operation\, beyond the HVAC systems BAS\, to be able to measure and verify that they are operating within energy and comfort parameters. The use of Monitoring Based Cx (MBCx) or Fault Detection Diagnostics (FDD) for ongoing commissioning can help keep the systems in line for energy use as well as maintaining a high level of IEQ. These processes can also be used for improving the existing buildings in an owner’s portfolio. Learn how to use MBCx and FDD\, in your designs\, construction\, commissioning\, and retro-commissioning of the built environment. Morning Session 2: Weighing the Pig vs. Making it Fly: Improve Energy Performance while Maintaining IEQ through Retro-Commissioning A lot of existing building stock needs to have its energy\, and thereby operational carbon\, improved if we are to meet the challenges for net-zero energy or carbon-neutrality in the next few decades. The improvement of the existing building stock\, which is often looked at as energy hogs\, can be greatly improved through the retro-commissioning process. This session covers the stages of weighing the pig (benchmarking) versus actively making improvements for systems. Actual projects for laboratories\, hospitality and gaming\, and university facilities will be used to demonstrate how to use retro-commissioning to make your pig fly. Lunch Meeting: ASHRAE Standard 241-Control of Infectious Aerosols ASHRAE\, through its Epidemic Task Force\, provided timely leadership in responding to the COVID19 pandemic from March 2020 through June 2022. At the request of the White House\, ASHRAE undertook its own project Warp Speed to build on that expertise for the future. In December 2022\, the ASHRAE Board committed to quickly writing a standard to make buildings more resilient against infectious aerosols ahead of the next epidemic. In only four months the project committee created and won approval for ASHRAE Standard 241-2023. In this Lecture a member of the 241 project committee will provide a summary of the standard including its purpose\, scope\, and key requirements with supporting background.

SUMMARY:December Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Location: Idaho Power Building 1221 W. Idaho St. Boise\, ID 83702 \nShare Title: Construction Safety – Some theory\, some practical ideas Description Managing construction safety is necessary in both large and small projects – most notably due to the OSHA position on multiemployer worksites which encourages citations for all parties potentially involved in serious injuries. This includes the host employer\, general contractor\, and subcontractors. The main goal of construction safety management is to reduce and control\, to a defendable degree\, the risks for serious injuries and fatalities during the construction project. This discussion will explore the tensions that exist between the host employer and contractors and explore practical ideas to minimize risks while maintaining schedule and costs. Presenter: Mike Cooper Mike earned his BS in Chemistry at UC Berkeley and masters in Public Health and masters in Chemistry from San Jose State University. He began his career working in the aerospace industry as an analytical chemist. Following certification in industrial hygiene\, Mike has developed and directed Environmental\, Safety\, and Health programs within the semiconductor\, medical device\, grocery\, oil and gas\, pharmaceutical\, and foundry industries both with the US and abroad. Mike serves on an OSHA health expert advisory committee to review and propose permissible exposure limits for regulatory enforcement and teaches in occupational safety and health management and industrial hygiene. We are looking forward to seeing you there! Food Provided! Tickets $0.00 ASHRAE Member in Person Ticket $20.00 Non-ASHRAE Member in Person Ticket $0.00 Virtual Only Ticket (No Food)

Front Street Boise\, ID 83702 \nShare Title: Maximizing HVAC Efficiency\, Flexibility and Resiliency with High Efficiency Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems With the ever-increasing environmental impacts of local pollution\, extreme weather events and wildfires\, there is a necessity for resilient\, flexible\, and extremely efficient HVAC systems. Unfortunately\, while HVAC systems are critical to our comfort and well-being\, conventional systems are costly to operate and contribute to over 50% of total energy usage in commercial buildings. Dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS) are a proven solution for reducing energy consumption since they optimize the control and functionality of ventilation and thermal comfort separately. A very high efficiency approach to DOAS maximizes energy efficiency by decoupling ventilation air from comfort conditioning\, including air-to-air heat recovery\, right-sizing of a high efficiency heating and cooling system and minimizing fan power. This allows for many benefits\, including: Demonstrated reduction of building HVAC energy use by an average of 69% over conventional systems. Excellent indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal comfort. Proven flexibility and resiliency to adapt to changing occupant densities\, increased IAQ requirements\, and extreme weather events Significant carbon emission reduction with minimal peak electric demand increases in sites that convert from gas to electric heat. In partnership with local utilities and HVAC experts\, this system approach has been installed and monitored in 12 small-to-medium commercial buildings\, including in cold climates\, that resulted in an average 69% reduction in HVAC energy use and a 48% reduction in whole-building energy use when compared to a code minimum system (often a packaged RTU). Attendees will learn the cost and energy savings outcomes of these Northwest-based projects. Speaker: Jordan Pratt Jordan is a Mechanical Engineer with a passion for energy efficiency. He manages a wide range of emerging technology field tests and market transformation efforts for the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA). Jordan has experience analyzing complex mechanical systems as well as installing\, commissioning\, and testing a variety of equipment and systems. He is an expert in long-term data collection and leveraging data visualization tools to communicate important insights from large\, complex data sets.

Topic Descriptions: Psyched for Psychrometrics Psychrometrics is an important and powerful tool for HVAC design and problem solving. Unfortunately\, its intimidating appearance can deter use. This presentation begins with an introduction to the psychrometric chart for those that are new to it or need a quick review but quickly moves into how to apply this tool for better design decisions and to solve problems with system operation. Specific areas addressed include – system capacity\, part loads\, energy recovery\, and condensation. ASHRAE's Impact in the Industry – Past\, Present\, and Future 2019-2020 is ASHRAE's 125th Anniversary. This presentation provides a summary of ASHRAE’s history and reviews the many areas in which ASHRAE has had an impact. It also presents the current direction of ASHRAE as it evolves to meet the needs of its members and industry. The objectives of the organization in the near future as a result of the new strategic plan are introduced. This presentation will also discuss some of the opportunities being explored as ASHRAE considers its role as a future industry leader. As history shows\, there is a need for continual improvement and change to remain relevant and maintain a prominent position within the industry. Ethical Decision Making – An Exercise in Application In lieu of the traditional lecture style presentation\, this is a structured interactive exercise. The participant will be provided a copy of both the ASHRAE and the Professional Engineering Code of Ethics. A methodology for ethical decision making will be introduced. Realistic ethical dilemmas from the practice of building design and construction will be presented.

SUMMARY:Airflow Management Workshop & IAQ Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Location: The Creative Space 121 E 34th St. Garden City\, ID 83714 \nShare ***Please Review the Ticket Options Carefully to Select the Appropriate Ticket for You and Your Guests*** . Event Type: Morning Workshop (9:30-11:30am) & Lunch Meeting (11:45am-1:00pm) (Please choose your Ticket Type Carefully so we account for you in the Food Order properly) . 9:30am – 11:30am | Morning Workshop Airflow Management Best Practices for Various Facility Types Speaker : Kishor Khankari\, Ph.D.\, Fellow ASHRAE\, ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer . . 11:45am – 1:00pm | Lunch Meeting A Panel Discussion: IAQ After the Pandemic – What did we Learn? What Lies Ahead? Panelists : Kishor Khankari\, Ph.D.\, ASHRAE DL David Schurk\, P.E.\, ASHRAE DL Clay Renn\, AAF/Flanders Gerry Nichols-Pagel\, Ph.D.\, P.E. Moderator : Dan Russell\, PE The COVID-19 pandemic took us all by surprise and impacted our lives in numerous ways. For the HVAC industry\, the pandemic shined a bright spotlight on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and how our HVAC systems contribute to IAQ. With an urgency to find ways to help mitigate airborne transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus\, ASHRAE took a leadership role by creating it’s Epidemic Task Force\, which quickly produced a helpful serious of guidelines and recommendations for building operators to apply to existing building HVAC systems. At the same time\, a plethora of air cleaning technologies hit the marketplace\, both new and old\, with volume and ferocity as never seen before. With the advent of so many new guidelines and products being introduced as a result of the pandemic\, it is helpful for us to reflect and ask some questions. . What have we learned about the importance of IAQ? Has the pandemic drive the industry to a better understanding of the impac HVAC systems have on IAQ? How effective are filters really? Do higher air change rates make for cleaner indoor spaces? Does sickness really get transmitted through the HVAC system? What should be the balance between optimizing indoor air quality and energy conservation? Is more outside air always better? What air cleaning technologies did the pandemic uncover as viable solutions moving forward? What are the challenges that lie ahead? How does a change in atmospheric CO2 levels impact Demand Control Ventilation strategies? How has the pandemic changed IAQ design & implementation for new buildings?

Dinner Presentation Abstract : In 2020\, ASHRAE’s Board of Directors approved a Diversity Commitment for the Society and established a Proactive Diversity Task Group with a goal to recommend detailed programs and initiatives seeking to eliminate all forms of discrimination and social injustice\, and proactively drive diversity through all levels within ASHRAE. This led some members to ask “why?” As a technical engineering society\, shouldn’t ASHRAE be focusing its efforts and the efforts of its volunteer members on industry-related research and education\, rather than furthering what some consider to be a political agenda? What role\, if any\, should ASHRAE play when it comes to diversity in the AEC community and social justice? Is there really a problem that needs to be solved? This highly-interactive\, engaging and thought-provoking presentation will tackle these questions head on by: • Reviewing ASHRAE’s current Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion initiatives • Defining terminology – What exactly does DEI mean? • Discussing metrics\, trends\, and research • Encouraging a respectful exchange of ideas through an online digital platform than ensures privacy and anonymity.

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Idaho's Energy Future
DESCRIPTION:Location: The Creative Space 121 E. 34th St. Garden City\, ID 83714 \nShare A Panel Discussion: Idaho’s Energy Code Future . Panelists : Michael Hyde\, DOPL Patrick Sullivan\, City of Nampa David Freelove\, Idaho Energy Code Circuit Rider Damon Woods\, Integrated Design Lab Moderator : Dan Russell\, PE . The energy code and it’s value to Idahoans is under great discussion and debate in recent months as the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses has brought all codes under full review in response to the Governor’s Executive Order for Zero-Based Rulemaking. As rulemakers engage with the public through these discussions\, questions arise about what value an energy code\, or specific sections therein\, bring to a state like Idaho and it’s local communities. . Do the measures captured in the energy code actually save building owners money? Are the measures cost-effective? Do energy code measures offer any life safety\, health or environmental quality benefits? Are energy code measures enforceable? Does the energy code pose an undue burden on those financing building construction? Does the energy code benefit any stakeholders in a uniquely positive way? How does the energy code or lack of one impact the local electric utility demand and associated payer rates? Can the energy code be feasibly diced up into sections or individual measures such that there is a middle ground between retaining the full energy code and eliminating it all together? If so\, what specific measures are best candidates for meeting this middle ground? . Many of these questions and possibly questions you have will be discussed by this industry panel. We believe this is an extremely timely topic for our Society\, our Chapter and our Idaho community. Please register today to join us and submit 1 or 2 questions during the registration process that you would like to be considered for inclusion in the question set for the panel. .
