Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems, which were introduced in Japan in 1982, have become popular in many countries, yet they relatively unknown in the United States. VRF systems can condition multiple zones in a building, each of which may have different heating and cooling needs. Using sophisticated control technologies, VRF systems can modulate amount of refrigerant sent to each zone independently and in tune with diverse and changing space conditioning loads, providing substantial energy savings.

Thermal Potential in the Built EnvironmentYale Carden
HVAC systems have traditionally used the local ambient air (heating and cooling) or fossil fuels (predominantly heating through combustion) as their heat source and heat sink. Thermal storage is still a relatively new application and typically requires large volumes of water or ice.
This paper explores the available thermal potential within the built environment and how the utilisation of this thermal potential can provide efficient heating, cooling and hot water as well as thermal storage. In some instances, this may be the local ambient air, less likely it will be fossil fuels.
More likely, it includes the thermal potential within the ground, water bodies and infrastructure such as subways, water, sewer, building foundations and other buildings as well as artificial thermal storage such as phase change materials.
The key is to identify the optimal thermal sources, sinks and storages for a given building at a given location and climate. Then, an integrated approach using optimised control strategies, including predictive capabilities, will enable a building to access these various thermal sources at the thermally optimal time to provide significant energy savings and enhanced operation.
Such an integrated approach also maximises the availability of on-site renewable power generation, further increasing energy savings, decreasing the typical cooling peak demand and increasing energy productivity.

Calibrated Modeling - How Well Does My Building Perform? by Eveline KillianCx Associates
Energy modeling during design can be valuable, but calibrated modeling post-construction tells the truth. Learn the tools available for calibrated modeling,
and how they use energy bills, digital control systems data, and metering data to assess the actual functionality of a building. Calibrated modeling completes a valuable feedback loop that can help direct future building decisions and, in
some cases, uncover additional savings opportunities in existing structures.
The goal of this discussion is to demystify building performance modeling. Computer-simulations give you a more complete picture of how various context and design factors can affect the performance of your space. Modeling information can help you analyze the impacts of your design decisions and determine how to most effectively meet project goals.
Energy modeling is also valuable tool used for code compliance and LEED points. Not to mention the fancy graphics that models produce to show your clientele your commitment to performance-based design.
This discussion will present various opportunities that can arise from building performance simulations with analysis at the early design, whole building, and building component levels. We will examine the following types of analysis:
• Climate
• Daylighting
• Massing and orientation
• Whole building energy usage forecast
• Fenestration design
• Façade development
• Zone level energy performance
• Baseline and design case models
• System selection and optimization

Consumer’s need for customization and enhanced aesthetics have led to a considerable increase in the demand for custom bathroom cabinets. When it comes to bathroom cabinets, architects and designers experience space constraints compared to kitchen cabinets. This emphasizes the need for accurate and detailed shop drawings, as even minor errors can cause the cabinets to not fit in the allocated space.
Millwork shop drawings communicate the right design intent through a series of detailed drawings and hence make it easy to:
1. Eliminate errors early
2. Reduce reworks to save cost
3. Showcase the exact design intent
Check out this presentation to understand how cabinet manufacturing drawings can help you successfully implement your custom bathroom cabinet project.
BIM extends superior capabilities for architects, builders, and other stakeholders in streamlining the construction process. Planning and execution are key processes that need clashes to be identified and resolved to mitigate risks and project delays. Project teams and stakeholders can keep projects on track through 3D coordination while reducing rework with accurate clash detection services.
Clash detection is one of the most crucial aspects of preconstruction wherein contractors can improve construction costs and enhance constructability using in-depth 3D visualization capabilities. Clash-detection promotes the flawless onsite installation of building equipment or components that save on project time and costs.
5D BIM visualization helps improve budget analysis and cost estimates. Conventional estimation techniques that depend on 2D drawings show potential errors, ambiguities and inefficiencies. A 3D BIM model live-linked to actual material quantities of construction objects, equipment and other resources helps mitigate inconsistencies in project cost estimations.
5D helps project stakeholders improve project budgets, delivers cost-loaded schedules and enables in-depth and accurate forecasts for agile comparability. With parametric modeling and higher process flexibility, cost-adjustments can be leveraged in real-time based on any design changes. The core value of 5D cost estimation enables general contractors to enhance value-engineering judgments for project owners.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

What is Energy Modeling and why should you opt for it? What
do you gain from it?
These questions might concern you as saving energy has become a necessity
today. Accomplishing goals with minimum/optimum energy consumption
is a task that requires a lot of hard work into achieving it.
£People in energy field should ensure
building energy-efficient models for
estimating initial and eventual energy cost
savings.
£Energy estimation before setting up an
energy-based project is imperative for an
investor.

£
Risk introduction:
Investing into any business is risky.
£When you decide to set up a business and invest
money in it, you are unaware of whether it will offer
you good returns or not?
£Why is it advised to opt for initial energy cost
savings estimation?
£It is so because if the structure you build fails to
give you good returns and projected cost savings
are not met, all your money will go down the drain.
£This is one way of introducing risk in a project.
£The loss incurred is heavy and to avoid getting into the same situation again, you
should first build an energy model and analyze its cost savings structure.
The other way through which risk is introduced in a project is via inefficient and
ineffective process-execution and underperformance of energy-efficient components.

Whatistheroleofafinancialanalysthere?
£A financial analyst's involvement is of high
importance in helping build an energy-efficient
model.
£Failing to provide correct information about what
is considered a potential risk while dealing with
energy-based projects, leaves the financial analyst
in lurch.
£The financial analyst is left with no other means
to price fairly the rate of return.
£With the help of building simulation software, you can know in advance more about
energy use and costs savings.
£The software enables you identify and characterize a building's geometry and its
material's thermal characteristics.
By working on these features, an Energy Modeling expert calculates associated risks and
benefits of energy-efficient components, structure design and availability of extra space.

Different ways of Energy Modeling
Out of the many ways of Energy Modeling one deals with new designs; second one
focuses on retrofits and the third one is actuarial-based technique that explores results
from simulation and field data.
£In the actuarial method, data from simulated energy efficient projects is used and
categorized under certain parameters.
£Later the data is fed into a database from where it is drawn upon to decide about the
costs saving estimates and related uncertainties.

RiskManagement
£Risk is avertable. It can be managed well at project level.
£Designing an energy efficient building is dependent upon application of best-
practices including risk assessment analysis.
£On the other hand, ignorance and poor implementation can lead to under
performance, operational problems and increased costs.
