[Ibpsausa] Energy Modeling for the Small and Midsize Architecture Firm - A Panel Discussion

Tue Nov 2 18:51:44 PDT 2010

If you are in San Francisco, mark your calendars for this wonderful Panel Discussion.

The Committee on the Environment (COTE) presents:
Energy Modeling for the Small and Midsize Architecture Firm (1.5 SDs)
November 09, 2010   6:00 - 8:00 pm
AIA San Francisco, 130 Sutter Street, Suite 600

With the development of LEED and other energy efficiency standards, energy simulation has developed tremendously over the last decade. It is becoming imperative that architects better understand the available tools so that they can make informed decisions throughout the design process. Given the complexity of energy modeling, this session will focus on how architects in small and mid-size firm can best use energy simulation. What types of questions should be answered with energy models? What types of energy modeling information is most useful, and when during design should it be used? What simulation tools are favored among small and mid-size firms? How do they develop expertise within their design teams and address budgetary constraints? A panel of Bay Area architects and designers, all of whom are noted for advances in sustainable design, will address these questions. Following the panel discussion, the presenters will be available for an extended
question-and-answer session.

PANELISTS
Philip Banta
As a principal at Philip Banta & Associates Architecture in Emeryville, Philip heads up the design and management elements of the firm, whose commissions include commercial, institutional, housing, tenant improvements and adaptive re-use. The firm has a special focus on alternative energy systems implemented through architectural envelope solutions (sunshading, daylighting, orientation, and thermal mass). Examples of this approach for which he has been the design lead include The San Jose State Office Bldg., The Equinox House, and the Boatworks Solar Community, currently in design. In addition the firm is working on an urban design project for Oakland that creates new efficiencies in transportation, access to institutional assets, and formation of neighborhood identity as a way of strengthening urban infill opportunities for the City.

Charlie Stott
Charlie Stott is a Senior Associate with Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects in San Francisco. Charlie's leadership role at LMSA focuses on integrating rigorous aesthetics and appropriate building technologies into a broad range of project types, including primary and secondary schools, multi-family housing, theaters and a variety of institutional and commercial projects. His experience includes new construction, adaptive reuse and historic renovation projects. Charlie uses an integrated design approach in leading multi-disciplinary teams through each project: defining goals early, developing and implementing achievable sustainable strategies, and ensuring design innovation is at the core of every project. Charlie's completed projects have been recognized by the American Institute of Architects, the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Mr. Stott received a Bachelor of Architecture
degree from the California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and a Masters Degree in Architecture from Yale University. He is an invited juror at California Polytechnic State University, the California College of the Arts, and SCI-Arc. He is a registered Architect in the state of California, and is a LEED Accredited Professional.

David Scheer
David Scheer is a registered Architect at Loisos and Ubbelohde and 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 design and civil planning, and has 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, building automation, research and design on projects worldwide, collaborating closely with designers, MEPs and contractors to assure implementation of the modeled strategies.

Stet Sanborn
Stet Sanborn is a Designer and Mechanical Engineer at Siegel & Strain Architects in Emeryville, CA. Prior to earning his M.Arch at UC-Berkeley in 2007, Stet worked as an engineer for the Robert Bosch Corporation both domestically and abroad in their Automotive Chassis and Powertool Divisions. While attending UC-Berkeley, he focused his design studies on Building Science and sustainable design; specifically on facade design, daylighting, thermal comfort, energy efficient building systems and post-occupancy evaluation. In addition to being a Guest Lecturer at UC-Berkeley, Stet is a Lecturer at the California College of the Arts on Integrated Building Systems, Energy systems and Green Building, as well as tools for solar analysis. His current research interests are in construction related embodied energy and life-cycle green house gas emissions.
