<p class="MsoNormal">BSUG is back! This month, August 23<sup>rd</sup>, we will be discussing conducting an Energy Audit or Walk-through assessment of a buildings energy performance as well as how to use the data collected to Benchmark your building. The IDL
has an Energy Resource Library that has hundreds of building diagnostic tools available for free to Idaho Power Customers! This lecture will focus on using the ERL to benchmark buildings and will review the IDL process. For more information or to sign up for
the online webinar, please see below. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Benchmarking is a method for measuring a building’s energy efficiency by comparing its energy use to other buildings with similar functions (commercial office, school, warehouse, etc…). Benchmarking allows owners to take a snapshot of how their building
is currently performing regarding energy consumption and then compare the performance to other buildings to infer if improvements can be made. However, not everyone knows where to start or the tools they will need to gather the necessary data to calculate
a building’s performance. The Integrated Design Lab has an Energy Resource Library where hundreds of diagnostic tools are available for check-out to support your next energy efficiency project. In this lecture we will be reviewing how to conduct a walk-through/audit
using the ERL and additional resources from ASHRAE.<o:p></o:p></p>

<h2><strong><u><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Dylan Agnes</span></u></strong><o:p></o:p></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal">After earning a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Idaho, Moscow, Dylan studied the science and engineering of building design, completing a Master's in Architecture with an emphasis in urban planning and net-zero/energy
efficiency building design. As a student he worked at the Integrated Design Lab and gained hands-on experience in the practice of Integrated Design. As an IDL Research assistant, Dylan worked with both the architectural and engineering side of integrated design,
providing a broader opportunity to cross over fields of study. Since graduation, Dylan has been working as a Research Scientist at the IDL and has been working on a wide range of projects from Energy Modeling to Daylighting Design.
