Cost: $95 in advance or $135 at the Show
Fee includes workbook and other registration materials.
Registration: To register or get more information, visit the Green Mechanical Council website. | Description:
People are becoming more and more enthusiastic about “green”. Industry professionals know they really mean high performance, energy efficient buildings and mechanical systems.
We can’t pick up a magazine, watch television or read a newspaper without hearing “green”. Sometimes they use “green” to mean “earth friendly”. Sometimes they use “green” to mean “energy efficient”. Sometimes they use “green” to mean “sustainable”.
Here lies the problem. Although many are excited about the concept, few understand the mechanics of the language.
Sitting in a meeting with words like “charrette”, “triple bottom line”, and “biomass” being thrown about; reading an article talking about “life cycle analysis versus first cost”; or reading installation instructions which calls for “combustion analysis” as part of the “commissioning”.
GreenSpeak is an orientation to the language and culture of Green. This presentation provides definitions to commonly used phrases and words, discusses misconceptions which must be overcome, and identifies trends which are making Green not only “mainstream” but the future of our professions and lifestyles.
The mission of the Green Mechanical Council (www.greenmech.org) is to educate contractors, field technicians, and industry leaders about creating and maintaining environmentally sound residential and commercial mechanical systems.

Ken Sinclair and Dave Branson are doing their 10th consecutive year of free education sessions for AHR Expo. As our Greener Sustainability Buildings become an interactive part of the Electrical Grid we have a lot to talk about so please join us.
Speakers:
Dave Branson, Compliance Services Group, Inc.
Ken Sinclair, AutomatedBuildings.com | Description:
Our new focus on reducing our impacts on energy resources and changing climate conditions is increasing our emphasis on building planning, design, and construction techniques. Sustainable design using Building Information Modeling “BIM” with ever tightening energy standards such as ANSI/ASHRAE 90.1, is moving us towards more responsible building energy usage. BAS can be found at the heart of all these efforts. Information technology, whether illustrated by BIM, smart meters, smart grids or intelligent control systems, can help us monitor and control energy use and ultimately save both energy and cost providing an immediate return-on-investment in terms of higher employee productivity and reduced operating expenses. Please join us in this discussion. |

John Cermak Ph.D., Acme Engineering & Manufacturing Corp. | Description:
In the recent time legislative and regulatory bodies in a number of countries, including the United States, European Union and others, started working on measures leading to substantial reduction of energy consumption. These bodies are looking at professionals in various fields seeking help in their efforts. In the United States the ASHRAE took a leading role in efforts to reduce the energy consumption by 2020 in non-residential buildings by 30%. In EU were issued directives with the similar purpose. AMCA International has tasked its Fan Committee to propose a labeling system for fans by their energy efficiency. The progress has been shared with the ASHRAE 90.1 Committee as well as with ISO Technical Committee 117 - Fans. |
