DISTINGUISHED LECTURER PROGRAM - ADVANCING ENERGY PERFORMANCE & SUSTAINABILITY

Distinguished Lecturer Program – Advancing Energy Performance & Sustainability

The ASHRAE Malaysia Chapter is pleased to invite industry professionals, engineers, facility managers, consultants, students, and sustainability practitioners to an exclusive Distinguished Lecturer Program featuring internationally recognized expert Wade H. Conlan, PE, CXA, BCXP, ASHRAE Fellow, LEED AP.

This insightful session will explore practical strategies and engineering solutions to enhance building performance, improve indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and support energy and carbon transition goals through commissioning and retro-commissioning approaches.

Topics Covered

Participants will gain valuable insights into:

• Monitoring Based Commissioning and Fault Detection Diagnostics: Using Big Data and Engineering to Improve Facility Performance

  Buildings are using way more data points for their operation, beyond the HVAC systems BAS, to be able to measure and verify that they are operating within energy and comfort parameters. The use of Monitoring Based Cx (MBCx) or Fault Detection Diagnostics (FDD) for ongoing commissioning can help keep the systems in line for energy use as well as maintaining a high level of IEQ. These processes can also be used for improving the existing buildings in an owner’s portfolio. Learn how to use MBCx and FDD, in your designs, construction, commissioning, and retro-commissioning of the built environment.

• Finding a Needle in a Haystack : Improve Energy Performance while Maintaining IEQ through Retro-Commissioning

  A lot of existing building stock needs to have its energy, and thereby operational carbon, improved if we are to meet the challenges for net-zero energy or carbon-neutrality in the next few decades. The improvement of the existing building stock, which is often looked at as energy hogs, can be greatly improved through the retro-commissioning process. This session covers the stages of (benchmarking) versus actively making improvements for systems. Actual projects for laboratories, hospitality and gaming, and university facilities will be used to demonstrate how to use retro-commissioning. 

• Energy and Carbon Transition Plans: Using Audits and Retro-Commissioning to Create and Achieve your Goals.

  This session is meant to discuss the process of creating an energy and/or carbon transition plan for the building systems in your portfolio of facilities. There are multiple steps in the process to develop these plans, including equipment condition assessments, energy/carbon audits, retro-commissioning and more. This process does need to include the building ownership and operators to establish goals and developing the actual planned improvement measure implementation schedule. The intent of this plan is to be proactive in how your facilities will achieve your potential net zero energy or carbon neutrality pledges.

Join us for this engaging technical session and gain practical knowledge from a globally recognized expert in commissioning, energy optimization, and sustainable building performance.
