[Ibpsausa] Course Announcement for IBPSA and IBPSAUSA Digest - Zero Energy Buildings in San Francisco

[David Scheer]

Hello.

I would like some help promoting my course Zero Energy Homes offered through
UCBerkeley Extension.  It is starting on October 25 and meets every Monday
evening from 6:30 to 9:30 for 8 weeks in San Francisco.  The course costs
$600 and is part of the certificate program in Sustainable Design.  Also
please feel free to cross post the description below wherever you like or
send your ideas on to me.

Thanks!

Zero Energy Buildings will offer students the essential knowledge they need
to understand what it means to create buildings that operate on zero net
energy, off grid, and/or carbon neutral.  We will discuss and practice the
modeling tools that designers, engineers and civilians need to predict
building energy use.  We will learn from practicing professionals about many
of the renewable energy sources on the market like wind and photovoltaic
panels, how to determine the size and cost of the generator required to
offset building energy use, and the role of local, state and federal
incentives in promoting renewables.  Through site visits, presentation
examples, guest lectures and a case study project, students will learn about
the categories of building energy demand and cost, techniques for reducing
that demand in each area, and will produce a cost-effective plan for making
that case study a Zero Energy Building.

David Scheer has extensive experience consulting as a design performance and
LEED energy modeler for projects worldwide.  He has also worked in many
areas of sustainable design and master planning, including research in green
infrastructure planning and stormwater management for the City of Homer,
green subdivision layout and civil design, and he been a residential and
commercial contractor for nearly 20 years.  David has designed and built a
number of residential projects focusing on energy efficiency, and has
designed and installed building performance monitoring and automation
systems.  Currently he is involved daily with energy modeling, automation,
research and design on buildings worldwide, collaborating closely with
designers, MEPs and contractors to assure implementation of the modeled
strategies.
