<br>
With the development of <span class=yshortcuts><span style='cursor:pointer'
id="lw_1288748960_1">LEED</span></span> and other <span class=yshortcuts><span
id="lw_1288748960_2">energy efficiency standards</span></span>, 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 <span
class=yshortcuts><span style='cursor:pointer' id="lw_1288748960_3">sustainable
design</span></span>, will address these questions. Following the panel
discussion, the presenters will be available for an extended<br>
question-and-answer session.<br>

PANELISTS<br>
Philip Banta<br>
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 <span class=yshortcuts><span
id="lw_1288748960_12">alternative energy systems</span></span> implemented
through architectural envelope solutions (sunshading, daylighting, orientation,
and <span class=yshortcuts><span id="lw_1288748960_13">thermal mass</span></span>).
Examples of this approach for which he has been the design lead include The <span
class=yshortcuts><span id="lw_1288748960_14">San Jose State Office Bldg</span></span>.,
The Equinox House, and the Boatworks Solar Community, currently in design. In
addition the firm is working on an <span class=yshortcuts><span
id="lw_1288748960_15">urban design project</span></span> 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.<br>
