Feb 9 - Joint Meeting with ASHRAE
Modeling a Sustainable World |
USGBC-LI and ASHRAE Long Island are invited to a special meeting with a presentation by ASHRAE National President Lynn G. Bellenger, P.E.
The presentation titled "Modeling a Sustainable World" will show that in energy simulation, daylight analysis, CFD and BIM software, we have powerful modeling tools that enable us to create and refine our vision of a building-its appearance, systems, operation and performance.
Those resources, used effectively in an integrated design process for new buildings and in analyzing retrofit opportunities in existing buildings, will help us guide building owners, architects, developers, and contractors in building orientation, shading, and shape and in selecting materials, windows, equipment, and systems that optimize building performance.
Wed Feb 9, 2011
6:00pm - 8:45pm
Westbury Manor 1100 Jericho Turnpike Westbury, NY 11590
