AIA+2030 Online Series Course 9: Staying in Shape: O&M and Commissioning

Tools and techniques for ensuring the building performs as predicted.

Description

Actual building performance is the ultimate measure of high-performance design. This course will cover the tools available to architects for best achieving predicted performance, including building commissioning, maintenance staff and occupant training, and building performance monitoring. This course will also explore the use of building performance data and smart building systems to validate and improve performance, and as a tool for iterative learning and innovation.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this course you will be able to:

• Explain the benefits of monitoring, evaluation, and education to design firms, clients, and building occupants.
• Understand the role of the commissioning agent in all phases of the design process and into operations.
• Explain and advocate for commissioning on projects.
• Instruct building operations and maintenance staff in optimizing building performance.

In support of the AIA+2030 Commitment, the Hampton Roads Chapter of the AIA will be presenting the AIA+2030 Online Series. The series is made up of ten 1 hour video presentations to be followed by 30 minutes of moderated group discussion at the office of Hanbury, 120 Atlantic Street, Norfolk Va. The courses will be offered over a 4 month period. Attendees will receive 1.5 hours LU-HSW credits for each session.

The building sector is the single largest consumer of energy and producer of greenhouse gas emissions. The AIA 2030 Commitment provides an actionable framework for architects and designers to meet the 2030 Challenge goals of carbon neutral buildings by 2030. This series will inspire architects to meet the 2030 goals through design strategies, efficient technologies and systems, and renewable energy resources.

Anyone completing all courses in the AIA+2030 Online Series will receive a certificate acknowledging their completion of all courses in the program, in addition to the individual course certificates available upon completion of each course.

The AIA+2030 Online Series is an AIA and Architecture 2030 co-production, sponsored by Autodesk and delivered through AIAU.

It's based on the highly successful AIA+2030 Professional Series, which was created by AIA Seattle and Architecture 2030, with support from the City of Seattle and Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance.

Each session will be held from 4:00-5:30 with the last 30 minutes being a moderated discussion.
