Chair, High-Performance Building Council

High-performance has become the latest buzzword to describe buildings. Everyone wants a high-performing building, but what does that mean? (Hint: It goes beyond sustainability.) What is needed to assure all future buildings are high-performance buildings? Where can I find one today? Why is there a High-Performance Building Congressional Caucus? Should my Member join the Caucus? Find the answers to these questions and more at the first of a series of briefings on high-performance buildings.

Integrated Engineering Design for Green Buildings
EcoBuild Fall—December 13, 2007

Integrated design doesn't happen naturally. A lot of non-standard communications happens on a project's front end, during pre-design, and throughout the design and construction process. Stressing the communications aspect of projects, this interactive session examines the roles of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineers working in a more integrated fashion with owners, architects, commissioning providers, and operators on green-building projects.
