Governmental entities and private corporations in the United States and worldwide, face an enormous challenge to improve the performance of the built environment. The CO2 and energy reduction targets that are being discussed in pending legislation will require huge investments in the existing building stock over the next 25 years, whereas the performance targets for new buildings will far exceed current practices.

This teleconference will help all directly and indirectly involved parties to set sensible targets and benchmarks, execute realistic performance improvement plans, and perform the design and retrofits that meet the challenges laid out above. It targets in particular the managers of corporate real estate portfolios, federal building managers, facility groups at university campuses, and building managers at city, state and federal level. The teleconference is also specifically addressed at professionals in design, retrofit and auditing firms who want to understand the developments in building benchmarking, how to express and measure the various performance aspects, understand the relationship to energy standards and green rating methods, and conduct audits for verification.

Learning Objectives:

You will be able to discuss the emerging agenda of sustainable and high performance buildings.

You will be able to review data quality and consistency issues.

You will be able to identify industry wide benchmarking efforts.

You will be able to describe tools and methods for energy benchmarking.
