Sustaining Our Future by Rebuilding Our Past

Thursday, March 25
10:30 am (This session will be repeated on Friday morning)
Room 203D
 
An in-depth look at the importance of addressing existing buildings in order to achieve ASHRAE's Sustainability Goals. The role of the ASHRAE's Advanced Energy Design Guides, Standards 90.1 and Standard 189.1 and the potential for Standard 100 to be redeveloped to address current technology for building renovation will be addressed as well as using Commissioning and Retro-Commissioning, Operation and Maintenance as key tools in keeping green buildings green.

The Technologies of Wastewater: Collection, Treatment & Reuse

Thursday, March 25
1:30 pm
Room 201F
 
Global challenges to address a fixed quantity of deteriorating quality water are significant and daunting. However, regardless of the source, technologies are now available to collect, treat and reuse this water for virtually any application.
Peter Cartwright leads the way to identify today's sources of water, define the quality characteristics of each, and outline the treatment technologies appropriate for a range of end uses.
 
Speaker: Peter Cartwright, Canadian Water Quality Association
 

Residential Graywater Reuse

Friday, March 26
10:30 am
Room 201F

 
Residential Graywater taken from sources other than garbage disposers or toilets represents a ready source of water for treatment and recovery for any number of residential applications, including potable. Join Peter Cartwright to learn the basics of this burgeoning industry, including:
  • The quality characteristics of graywater;
  • Selecting the right treatment technology; and
  • System design and economic considerations.
 
Speaker: Peter Cartwright, Canadian Water Quality Association

1:30 pm
Room 202B
 
A good session for business owners and supervisors who are challenged with how to pass on what they know to the younger generation. Even the most sophisticated controls are simply combinations of the three basic controls--power supplies, switches, and loads. Carol Fey, Carol Fey & Associates specializes in making complex topics fun and easy-to-understand. Join her for a session designed to take the confusion out of electrical control wiring for hydronic systems.
Hear:
  • Why thinking in circles is good
  • How every hydronic control is a power supply, a switch or a load
  • How limit controls are like a safety committee
  • How to see the friendly side of control panels
Speaker: Carol Fey, Carol Fey & Associates
 

The Role of Copper in Renewable Energy Applications

for C-I-I Projects
Friday, March 26
3:30 pm
Room 201F
 
For decades, copper tube and fittings have played a key role in plumbing systems in large Commercial, Industrial and Institutional (C-I-I) projects. Attend this session to learn now today’s applications take advantage of copper’s exceptional thermal conductivity are growing rapidly as innovative methods are developed to increase energy efficiency. Applications include Solar Thermal Collectors, Drain Water Heat Recovery Units, Direct Exchange Geothermal Units and Variant Refrigerant Flow heating-cooling systems.
 
 

Inspecting Hydronic Heating Systems

Friday, March 26
3:30 pm
Room 202B
 
This is an ideal session for home inspectors, builders, firemen and investigators, insurance agents or anyone not familiar with hydronic systems.
