Event Description

Join ASHRAE, AIA New York Committee on the Environment, and the Building Energy Exchange for this two-part series on planning and executing a successful commercial net-zero energy retrofit.

In January of 2020, ASHRAE broke ground on the renovation of their new global headquarters, a showcase project embodying the organization’s core commitments—excellent indoor environmental quality and cutting-edge energy efficiency requirements.

Beyond these core objectives, ASHRAE’s new headquarters stands as an educational tool, providing insight for industry stakeholders into how sustainability and resiliency can be integrated into cost-effective, replicable building retrofit solutions that reduce energy use and improve occupant health and comfort.

Part 1: Designing for Net Zero

For the first session of this two-part series, we’ve invited two core members of the project team, Greg Walker, Partner at Houser Walker Architecture, and Ginger Scoggins, Building Ad-hoc Committee Chair at ASHRAE, to expand on the collaborative design process that helped to define project requirements and ensure for a project that exemplified ASHRAE’s core sustainability commitments.

This program is available for 1.5 AIA CEUs.
