Zero Made Easy: Advanced Energy Design Guidance for Office Buildings

Friday, June 7, 2019 | 9:30am – 11:00am | Pavillion 10

This session will introduce designers to the latest volume of the Advanced Energy Design Guide (AEDG) series developed jointly by AIA, ASHRAE, IES, and USGBC, with support from the US Department of Energy.

Following the success of the earlier 30% Savings and 50% Savings series, this volume of the Zero-Energy series addresses small- to medium-sized office buildings. You’ll be introduced to an easy-to-follow, step-by-step methodology to achieve this lofty, energy-efficiency goal.

Working at the intersection of architecture and engineering, Tom specializes in regenerative design outcomes, such as zero energy, one water and healthy interior environments. As an early pioneer in zero energy, Tom worked on the first large scale zero energy office buildings on the NREL campus. He has continued to grow this expertise with many high performance buildings at a range of scales, building types and geographies. Tom has also authored, “Net Zero Energy Design,” the leading book on the topic, published by Wiley.
