Presentation and Speaker Details

Terry E. Townsend, P.E. – ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer

Sustainable Applications That Work:
Many buildings that are claimed to be sustainable actually use more energy and natural resources than conventional, building-code constructed facilities. The ASHRAE Technology Awards winners are prime examples of what works and ten different applications that range from a few thousand square feet to over 50 million square feet are presented. The unique applications of conventional equipment in innovative and cost effective manners will provide information for future consideration for building owners, operation and maintenance personnel, technicians and design team members.

K. William (Bill) Dean, P.Eng. – ASHRAE Distinguished Lecturer

An Owner’s Perspective on Building Decarbonization:
95% of all buildings that will exist in 2030 are already in existence and most were not built to meet the more stringent greenhouse gas emissions targets that political leaders are supporting after COP26. We know what we need to design to make buildings better. This Presentation will cover the financial, environmental, political, and operational pressures being faced by the owners of our existing building stock and how can ASHRAE members can respond to their needs more effectively.
