SUMMARY:Design for the Future with EV Charging
DESCRIPTION:The adoption of electric vehicles in the United States has reac
hed a new inflection point. With over 3 million EVs expected to be sold ov
er the next 5 years\, new and existing buildings are increasingly being ma
ndated to accommodate EV charging. Due to legislation and standards\, new
build construction now requires a certain percentage of parking spots to s
upport EV charging with “EV ready” infrastructure in place. Existing build
ings now face electrical upgrades at potentially high costs. In this webin
ar with Enel X\, architects and builders will learn how to navigate the ch
anging landscape of EV charging requirements and implement smart charging
infrastructure into their projects. Learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Pushing the (Building) Envelope with Commercial Secondary Window Fi
eld Tests
DESCRIPTION:The Attachments Energy Rating Council (AERC) member and fenestr
ation expert David Bailey will lead an innovative panel session on commerc
ial secondary windows at AESP’s Annual Conference on January 27 at 11:30 E
T. The session will give attendees a practical roadmap to enhance energy s
avings of building envelopes with commercial secondary window systems. Oth
er participants in the panel discussion include Shannon Christie\, Program
Manager\, D + R International\, Natalie Hatheway\, Program Manager\, NEEA
\, Moshfiq Islam\, Senior Specialist\, Energy Efficiency and Demand Manage
ment\, Con Edison. Launched in mid-2020\, AERC’s Commercial Secondary Wind
ow Program demonstrates the potential of secondary windows and provides th
e industry with valuable data on the energy performance of these products\
, including U-factor\, Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)\, Visual Transmi
ttance (VT)\, and Air Leakage. In collaboration with utilities\, a consort
ium of manufacturers\, researchers\, and governmental leaders\, AERC creat
ed a program to assess and certify secondary window systems and to support
utilities in creating programs and measure adoption. For example\, the No
rthwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) is running a field study 2020-20
22 to validate energy savings in the Northwest region (OR\, WA\, ID\, and
MT) and is leveraging AERC’s third-party certified commercial secondary wi
ndow ratings to inform that study. Additionally\, Consolidated Edison (NY)
is running a pilot in the New York City area through 2021\, which require
s AERC’s commercial secondary windows program and leverages the ratings in
formation to inform their product choices and evaluations. 'AERC is please
d to support this engaging session during AESP’s Annual Conference\,” said
Ralph Vasami\, Executive Director of AERC. “Whether through participation
in conferences like AESP’s or in utility pilot program\, AERC will always
make it a goal to facilitate collaboration among research\, utility\, and
industry partners.” To find more information about the AESP Annual Confer
ence visit their website. For questions about AERC and the certified comme
rcial secondary window program\, contact dmeyer@kellencompany.com.

porary shutdown or reduced operation of a building and reductions in norma

SUMMARY:Pressure Independent Valve Technology: Performance & Testing Consid
eration
DESCRIPTION:The Associated Air Balance Council (AABC)\, has announced a new
AIA-approved webinar in their TAB Talk series on May 19\, in collaboratio
n with the newest AABC Industry Partner\, Belimo. Pressure Independent (PI
) valves are commonly used in the HVAC industry to control chilled and hot
water for air‐conditioning and heating. PI valves supply a specific flow
for each value of the DDC control signal\, regardless of pressure variatio
ns in the system. The speakers will discuss valve characteristics and how
they relate to hydronic coil performance\, valve sizing and valve authorit
y\, and how these elements affect the equipment’s operation in the central
energy plant. The session will conclude with a review of the different ty
pes of pressure independent valves and valve technologies. “Proper test an
d balance helps ensure that installed equipment and systems function the w
ay they are supposed to\,” said longtime AABC Member and co-presenter Bria
n Venn\, TBE\, CxA\, Mechanical Testing\, Inc. “And access to detailed pro
duct information from HVAC manufacturers like Belimo makes it easier for T
AB professionals to do their jobs.” Registration Presenters: Bob Walke

SUMMARY:RESILIENCE 2021: THE 2020 HURRICANE SEASON SAW A RECORD NUMBER OF
STORM FORMATIONS—WHAT’S IN STORE FOR 2021?
DESCRIPTION:Will the 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season be a record breaker? Me
teorologists from Colorado State University’s Department of Atmospheric Sc
ience anticipate a highly active season\, predicting 17 named storms and e
ight hurricanes—four of which they predict will be Category 3 or higher. T
he Weather Channel’s prediction is slightly different with 18 named storms
and eight hurricanes—three of which it expects will be Category 3 or high
er. In 2020\, the Atlantic Hurricane Season saw a historic year with 30 tr
opical storms\, which included 14 hurricanes. The worst storm to make land
fall was Hurricane Iota\, a Category 5 storm that packed 160 mile-per-hour
(mph) winds. The season began June 1 and runs through November 30. With s
torms forming as early as May\, it is never too early to start preparing.

DESCRIPTION:As a property owner or facility manager\, protecting your inves
tment is imperative. Fire sprinkler systems are a key component to that pr
otection. Despite the name\, dry pipe fire sprinkler systems often fail du
e to freezing\, improper maintenance or vandalism leaving property and occ
upants at risk. Wet systems often fail from leaks or blockages caused by c
orrosion. Building owners and managers are finding that prevention is the
cheapest\, quickest\, and easiest way to avoid system degradation and fail
ure. AGF’s COLLECTanDRAIN auxiliary drains meet code and simplify maintena
nce to protect dry systems against damage. AGF’s PURGEnVENT air vents rele

SUMMARY:IAQ Control for Healthy\, Resilient\, Low Energy Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Decades of evidence indicate that current minimum standards for
indoor air quality (IAQ) are responsible for avoidable healthcare costs a
nd productivity losses resulting from normal levels of indoor air contamin
ants. Recent experience also shows that buildings designed to such standar
ds lack the resilience to protect occupants effectively during infectious
disease outbreaks and outdoor air events like wildfires. However\, while t
here is growing recognition that IAQ standards and best practices should c
hange\, there is also concern that improving IAQ will increase the energy
consumption of buildings and impede progress toward environmental protecti
on goals. This program will review some of the fundamental concerns regard
ing current IAQ standards and explore methods for improving IAQ with littl
e or no adverse impact on energy use. In particular\, it will consider the
potential for more extensive and sophisticated use of dynamic IAQ control
to deliver high indoor environmental quality where and when it is needed.
