Tech Session
Integrating Renewable Energy Systems into Buildings
This presentation introduces technical opportunities, means, and methods for incorporating renewable energy (RE) technologies into building designs and operations. The speaker will give an overview of RE resources and available technologies used successfully in the USA to offset building electrical and thermal energy loads. Methods for applying these technologies in buildings and the role of building energy efficiency in successful RE projects will be addressed. The speaker will discuss issues related to connecting RE systems to existing electrical grids and offer tips for implementing successful RE projects. Finally, the speaker will summarize ASHRAE activities related to and/or in support of RE applications in buildings.
Lunch Session
Case Study – NREL Research Facility
This session will provide an in depth review on the performance of NREL’s Research Support Facility, which is a 360,000 SF LEED Platinum office building.
The energy goal for the building is 35kBtu/ft2/year. A rooftop photovoltaic system was implemented through a Power Purchase Agreement; daylighting; natural ventilation; and a next-generation, energy efficient data center are just a few of the energy features of the building.
For details on the process for achieving a net-zero energy building, see the booklet “The Design-Build Process for the Research Support Facility
” and “The Road to Net Zero” presented by NREL’s former Deputy Laboratory Director and Chief Operating Officer at the 2011 Sustainable Operations Summit.
