Buildings account for a significant share of energy consumption across the region. Improving energy performance presents a major opportunity to reduce operating costs, enhance resilience, and support national sustainability and net-zero commitments. This course introduces energy management as a structured process that enables building professionals to optimize energy use through effective planning, monitoring, and continuous improvement. This course weaves together energy management principles and best practices from ISO 50001, the ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Applications, ENERGY STAR® guidance, and ASHRAE/IES Standard 100: Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings, to improving building performance and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This course will provide a gateway to applicable industry guidelines, standards, other ASHRAE courses, and publicly available resources to the end-users and practitioners.  It will summarize the available energy management best practices related to sustainability goals and greenhouse gas emission reduction. The course also highlights water efficiency and the important relationship between energy and water use, particularly within the resource-constrained environments.

Who Should Attend?

Building Operators/Energy managers/Consulting Engineers/Commissioning agents/contractors/building owner representatives. More specifically: Professionals who want to gain knowledge of Energy management practice, with an emphasis on creating an achievable action plan to help an organization to achieve sustainability goals.

You Will Learn To:

• Calculate increased asset value and explain the value of improved comfort
• Assess building energy performance and set energy usage goals
• Create an action plan for saving energy
• Prioritize multiple building projects
• Introduce carbon emission management and available resources
• Ability to analyze the trending data
• Understand water efficiency and its impact on energy use
• Introduce ISO 50001 and related resources
• Define accountability for a building’s ongoing energy management

Artificial intelligence is impacting the hardware and software ecosystem, driving significant changes that put data centers at a risk of becoming inadequate to handle the new requirements.

The rapid pace of innovation is increasing the difficulty in planning for future hardware needs without over investment or premature obsolescence. To achieve maximum performance while reducing energy consumption, data centers must be designed and operated by professionals whose knowledge evolves as quickly. Today’s data center environments have an infinite number of combinations, increasing the risk of overgeneralizing by designers and operators. Demand for IT services that are lower cost, more energy-efficient, provide more storage, and offer more computing capabilities is resulting in continued, significant changes in hardware and as a result its operating conditions. This is leading to the need for more mixed-use environments, combining general performance computing and high-performance computing.

This ASHRAE course examines data center best practices by focusing on ASHRAE’s evolving thermal guidelines for data processing environments, including the latest guidance around liquid cooling. While there are opportunities to save energy in data centers, understanding of equipment trends, performance measurements, and effectiveness are critical to the principal objective: Data integrity and facility uptime.

Who Should Attend?

Building owners, data center facility managers, consulting engineers, HVAC and MEP engineers, commissioning agents, contractors, IT infrastructure professionals, and operations personnel. More specifically: Professionals involved in the design, operation, maintenance, or optimization of data centers who want to gain practical knowledge of data center thermal management, air and liquid cooling best practices, performance metrics, and strategies to improve energy efficiency while maintaining reliability and uptime.

You Will Learn To:

• Understand the impact of evolving IT equipment design and the need for more mixed-use environments
• Establish best practices for data center air and liquid cooling
• Examine how to maintain integrity of data center environments to assure high availability
• Understand methods for measuring data center performance
