Introduction to Building Decarbonization demystifies the primary sources of carbon emissions in buildings and explains the key drivers for decarbonization. The course focuses on the framework of decarbonization—including key definitions and distinct scopes that drive sustainable practices. Learn about ASHRAE's role in disseminating vital decarbonization insights, emphasizing the urgency of combatting climate change, and pinpointing any given building’s substantial contribution to energy-related carbon emissions.
The course explores the complexities of building carbon emissions, including on-site combustion, construction-related sources, and refrigerant leakage. Other covered topics include the principles of building decarbonization, harmonizing occupant well-being, environmental stewardship, and the nature of direct and indirect emissions. The course concludes on the topic of sustainable building innovation—setting a foundation of best practices for a decarbonizing HVAC&R industry.
Course Objectives:
- Identify primary sources for carbon emissions in buildings.
- Understand the need and rationale behind decarbonizing the built environment.
- Cite primary available carbon accounting options.
- Understand basic offset strategies.
- Be familiar with electrification options and strategies.

Net zero energy buildings (NZEBs) are those which, on an annual basis, use no more energy from the utility grid than is provided by on-site renewable energy sources. These buildings use 50% to 70% less energy than comparable traditional buildings. The remaining energy use comes from renewable sources, like solar panels or wind turbines incorporated into the facility itself. The 3-hour course provides application knowledge of the design and operating principles for energy-efficient buildings and available technologies and systems to achieve NZEBs design. Building design strategies; review of current policy and regulation, energy, environmental and economic assessment of building’s performance; energy efficiency in HVAC, lighting, and appliances; and on-site renewable energy sources are topics covered.
Course Objectives:
- Discuss Design Strategies to achieve NZEB
- Discuss Design Principles of Energy Efficient Buildings
- Describe Operating Principles of Energy Efficient Buildings
- Describe Energy, Environmental & Economic Assessment of Building’s Performance
Course Topics
3 Professional Development Hours (PDHs/AIA LUs)
3:00 – 6:00 PM Beirut Time | 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM GST
- Defining NZEBs
- Why Net Zero
- Background on CO2 and Global Warming
- Targets for Net Zero
- Examples and Case Studies
- Energy Consumption
- Design Standards and Calculations
- NZEB Design
