Proposed Session Description
As legislation and notoriety around carbon emissions reductions expand, building owners are developing long-term strategies to achieve lofty goals. Many turn to the existing building commissioning (EBCx) process as their first step along the journey to net zero and will use the EBCx process to establish the foundation for their “behind the meter” strategy. This presentation will show, through the use of a case study, how EBCx can connect what is happening in the building's mechanical room impacts the decision made in the Board Rooms. Discussions include the development of the EBCx scope to align with sustainability goals, how energy conservation measures are developed, prioritized, and implemented.
Diversity and Inclusiveness
From our leadership to our analysts in the field, we are deeply committed to elevating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within our company, across our projects, and throughout our communities. Our people and the relationships and partnerships we forge are what drive us, and our goal is to cultivate a sense of belonging and create a team where everyone feels like they are part of just that – a team. While this presentation does not specifically address DEI perse in terms of explicit learning objectives, our presentation and case study highlight is a natural example of just one of the many client engagements where we collaborate and partner with organizations and energy steering committees that are diverse in perspective. The energy steering committee leading the engagement on our client side is a shining example of women in leadership, and we are actively engaged and aligned with organizations that are equally committed to keeping DEI at the forefront of their business.
Learning Objectives
1. Learn how to prioritize the EBCx process to align with legislative and sustainability goals.
2. Identify how to frame the process to ensure it is seen as valuable from the mechanical room to the board room.
3. Recognize how to assess the progress towards goals and adapt the process to ensure timely achievement.
4. Develop programmatic training material for ongoing Cx to ensure savings are sustained, and building operators are encouraged to continue the program.
