Bannock St. Suite 202 Boise\, ID 83702 \nShare ASHRAE Idaho February Chapter Meeting – Joint with AIA Date: February 14\, 2023 Time: 12:00pm – 1:30pm . Location: The Crystal Ballroom in the Historic Hoff Building 802 W. Bannock St. Suite 202 Boise\, ID 83702 TBD . . Title: Impacts of Climate Change and Urbanization on Future Building Performance With the increasing interest in climate change driven by human activity\, recent research has focused on the impact of climate change or urban heat island on building operation and performance across the world. But this work usually aggregates the energy and peak demand impacts across a broad sector. In a recent study\, impacts on the operating performance of an office building were estimated based on climate change and heat island scenarios in 25 locations (20 climate regions). This presentation presents the variation and differences among the 20 regions when climate change is introduced. The focus is on changes in comfort conditions\, building equipment operation as well as daily patterns of energy performance using prototypical buildings that represent typical\, good\, and low-energy practices around the world. Other issues such as fuel swapping as heating and cooling ratios change\, impacts on environmental emissions\, and how low-energy building design incorporating renewables can significantly mitigate any potential climate variation are also presented. Speaker : Dr. Drury B. Crawley\, Ph. D.\, Director\, Bentley Systems\, Inc. Dru Crawley is Bentley Fellow and Director\, Building Performance Research focusing on building performance\, zero-energy Buildings\, decarbonization\, digital twins\, smart cities\, sustainability\, and resilience. Prior to being elevated to Bentley Fellow in 2014\, he led development of Bentley’s building performance software suite for four years. Before joining Bentley in 2010\, Dr. Crawley developed and managed EnergyPlus and the USDOE’s Commercial Buildings Initiative (now Better Buildings Initiative and Alliances) promoting creation of net-zero-energy buildings. With more than 40 years of experience in buildings energy efficiency\, renewable energy\, and sustainability\, he has worked in engineering software development\, government research and standards development organizations\, as well as building design and consulting companies.

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? With a hyper focus on IAQ are we at risk of underdeveloping healthy immune systems? Does simply following building codes and ventilation standards adequately accomplish ASHRAE’s vision for “a healthy and sustainable built environment for all?” 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. Looking forward to seeing you there! .

SUMMARY:October Chapter Meeting & ASHRAE Murder Mystery Trivia Night
DESCRIPTION:Location: The RAM – Stonehouse Event Center 709 E. Park Blvd. Boise\, ID 83712 \nShare ***Please Review the Ticket Options Carefully to Select the Appropriate Ticket for You and Your Party*** . Event Type: Dinner Presentation (5:00-6:15pm) & Trivia Night (6:30-8:00pm) (Please choose your Ticket Type Carefully so we account for you in the Food Order properly) . Dinner Speaker & Trivia Host : Devin A. Abellon\, P.E.\, ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer . Dinner Presentation Topic : “Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and ASHRAE: Does it Really Matte r ? ” . Trivia Night Theme : Some ASHRAE Trivia\, LOTS of General Trivia and a Murder Mystery TWIST! . 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. .

SUMMARY:March 2022 Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Location: U of I Water Center Building 322 E. Front Street Boise\, ID 83702 \nShare Location – U of I Water Center\, 322 E Front St\, Boise\, ID 83702 Virtual option will also be available. ZOOM link will be sent out at a later date. Speaker – Devin Abellon\, P.E. Bio – Devin Abellon\, P.E. is the Business Development Manager for Engineering Services at Uponor North America. He has over 25 years of experience in the HVAC and plumbing industries with a focus on high-performance and sustainable building design and construction. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California at Santa Barbara and is a registered professional engineer in California and Arizona. He is an active member of both ASPE and ASHRAE\, and serves on the ASHRAE Board of Directors as the Region X DRC\, Handbook Subcommittee Chair for ASHRAE TC 6.5 and as an ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer. Topic – The (un)Ethical Engineer: A Study in Principle and Practice Description: – The integrity of the HVAC industry is dependent on sound technical design\, reliable products\, skilled construction practice and consistent maintenance and operation. But another critical element that is sometimes overlooked is professional ethics. As members within the HVAC industry engineers\, contractors\, architects\, manufacturers\, vendors and building owners are expected to exhibit the highest standard of honesty and integrity to safeguard the confidence that the public has in us. In this very competitive climate\, however\, it is sometimes tempting to "bend the rules" to some degree in order to gain an advantage over competition or to simply get the job done on time. But how much is too much? Is there a clearly defined line between ethical practice and "just the way things are done?" “The (un)Ethical Engineer” is an interactive\, multimedia\, dramatic presentation that explores these issues through the eyes of a well-intentioned engineer.

SUMMARY:October 2021 Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Location: U of I Water Center Building (Legacy Pointe Room) 322 E. Front Street Boise\, ID 83702 \nShare Description: : Throughout the world governments instituted a variety of measures to try to curb the spread of COVID-19 and improve public health. In the UK that took the shape of a nationwide lockdown as of the 23 rd of March 2020. This mandate continued until the 13 th of June. These restrictions led to atypical patterns of home occupancy\, the implications of which are still unknown. The work shown in this presentation took advantage of an existing IAQ and window operation monitoring study taking place in east London\, UK. One-year’s worth of monitored data on indoor and outdoor environment parameters along with occupant use of windows was used to analyse the impact of lockdown on IAQ and infer probabilistic models of window operation behaviour. Moreover\, using on-site CO 2 data\, monitored occupancy and operation of windows\, the team calibrated a thermal performance model of one of the spaces to investigate the implications of alternative ventilation strategies. The use of this type of model\, one in which energy\, thermal\, and air quality performance is integrated has great potential to be used to better understand how changes in our built environment impact health\, and at what cost. A conceptual framework for modelling health impact into the built environment will also be introduced. Tickets $0.00 Member Ticket $15.00 Guest Ticket

SUMMARY:September 2021 Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Location: U of I Water Center Building 322 E. Front Street Boise\, ID 83702 \nShare Meeting Date/Time: September 15th 2021\, 11:45 AM – 1:00PM Meeting Location: Legacy Pointe room at the U of I water center\, 322 E Front St\, Boise\, ID 83702 Online Zoom meeting option available (link will be emailed at a later date) Meeting Topic: It seems that the climate isn’t going to give up being unpredictable. Fire continues to rage worldwide\, drought and floods are the new normal and\, human populations are growing at an exponential pace. In fact\, over the next two decades\, the world will add another couple of billion people and\, guess where the population will move? To cities and suburbs of course. Whether engineers or architects\, you have chosen the right field if you plan to keep busy. The need for design isn’t going away. But\, the type of design should be evolving. There has been much talk and\, I think\, little action toward making our built environment\, our communities\, resilient. Well\, now is the time for those of us that have design and construction responsibility to step up. Resiliency isn’t just another fad\, it’s one of the most necessary design elements needed. This session was developed for the keynote at the Portland Builder Association last spring. Please tune in to hear about the issues and opportunities that have been set before us. There has never been a better time to be engaged in the built environment! Speaker: Ken Baker\, Integrated Design Lab-Boise (see attached speaker bio) Tickets $0.00 Member Ticket $15.00 Guest Ticket

SUMMARY:February 2021 Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online Meeting ID \nShare Meeting Topic: Variable Primary Flow (VPF) Systems Classification: Intermediate When we consider a chilled water system configuration\, such as VPF\, it is beneficial to examine and compare the new system with conventional systems. While VPF systems have now been in use for over 20 years\, the system still must be designed and operated properly to provide the expected benefits to the building owner. This presentation covers: A brief overview of primary-secondary systems\, and a comparison with VPF Why are people considering VPF today\, when it was not allowed in the past? Challenges associated with varying water flow through the chiller’s evaporator Plant sequencing\, and various chilled water plant configurations that might be considered Control\, specification and operating issues And even systems that should not be considered for VPF design. Speaker: Mick Schwedler\, PE\, FASHRAE\, LEED ® AP BD+C Mick has been involved in the development and support of HVAC systems for Trane since 1982.

SUMMARY:January 2021 Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online Meeting ID \nShare Many people think of morality as something that’s personal and normative\, whereas ethics is the standards of “good and bad” distinguished by a certain community or social setting. Morality is a personal view of what is “right or wrong”\, “good or bad about a topic or issue while the ethics of the subject reflect the collective wisdom of a group. The ethics of ASHRAE\, therefore\, reflect the collective wisdom of ASHRAE members. This lecture looks at the use and effectiveness of the ASHRAE Code of Ethics Speaker: T. David Underwood\, P.Eng.\, lives in Oakville\, Ontario\, Canada He represented ORAC and HRAI on the Canadian Standards Association B52 committee on Mechanical Refrigeration\, the advisory committee that assisted the Ontario government in developing refrigeration regulations. He coauthored a trade refrigeration safety manual and served on the Refrigeration trade advisory committee for the refrigeration trade in Ontario. When David was a member of a Canadian Model National Building Code\, advisory committee\, he participated in writing the Building Science and Plumbing section of the 2015 edition of the code. As the 2015-2016 ASHRAE president \, David Underwood was a member of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. He is an ASHRAE Fellow\, ASHRAE Life Member. He previously served on the Board as president –elect\, treasurer\, two terms as a vice president and as a director-at-large. He holds the ASHRAE Exceptional Service Award\, Distinguished Service Award and the William J. Collins Research Promotion Award. He is an ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer\, a member of Technical Committee 7.2\, HVAC&R Construction & Design Build Technologies\, and a member of the Building Performance Alliance Ad Hoc Committee.

SUMMARY:September 2020 Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Location: Online Meeting ID \nShare Access YouTube Video Recording here: https://youtu.be/cqvOf_Hec_w Abstract: The current pandemic has stirred up a whirlwind of activity for anyone in the indoor air quality business. As building owners\, facility managers\, consulting engineers\, contractors and others look to find feasible IAQ solutions for occupied indoor spaces\, one of the technologies that has risen to the forefront is called Needle-Point Bipolar Ionization (NPBI). We will discuss what this technology is (and what it isn’t) along with best practices for how NPBI can be implemented as a complimentary measure toward IAQ improvement for any facility with any HVAC system. While NPBI continues to gain much notoriety as a result of its tested ability to deactivate SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19 virus)\, we’ll also discuss the long-lasting benefits which include the ability to control mold\, odors\, smoke\, VOCs\, airborne particulate\, allergens and even bacteria growth on cooling coils.
