WS11 - Analytical Tools for LEED 2009
Saturday, May 16, 8:30am to 12:30pm
Registration Price: $115 on or before April 1, $135 after April 1, $155 on-site
Presented by: Vaibhav Potnis, Green Building Services, Inc.
Description: The design of high-performance buildings requires an extra level of effort on the part of the design team. To meet all the criteria for such buildings a project calls for advanced methods and tools for analysis and virtual prototyping before design decisions are made. This workshop gives an overview of the different tools available to the design team, how they support the team’s efforts to meet set criteria especially related to the LEED® rating system and give examples of some actual applications where these methods and technologies have been successfully applied. The session will focus on tools related to:

1. Whole building energy analysis – Energy and Atmosphere category
2. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) – Thermal comfort and ventilation effectiveness credits
3. Daylight analysis – Daylight and views credits, optimize energy performance credits

Materials to be provided to attendees include Hand-outs and CD’s with resource weblinks and presentations
Who should attend? Architects, Designers, Engineers
AIA CEUs are available for this course.
