An ASHRAE Event: Big, Smart, and Everything: Data, Technology, Buildings Cities, and the IoT
2023-03-20 11:45 - 13:30 UTC
This is a joint meeting with AIA Cleveland.

Description:
There is a transformation under way in the world that will fundamentally change how we interact with our technology, buildings and cities. Big data allows us to find trends and causes not clear from our limited data today. Everything is going ‘Smart’ today – from windows, walls and all the technology in our buildings to communities and cities. With 5G wireless and ubiquitous data sensors soon to be available, every device that collects data can share it – supporting real-time decision-making for controls, utility grids, buildings, traffic, and transportation. Imagine dozens of sensors ensuring our comfort in our workplaces while optimizing energy efficiency and sustainability. This presentation describes the basics of big data, IoT, and Smart everything and its applications and promise in buildings.
Dr. Drury B. Crawley, Ph.D., AIA, Fellow ASHRAE, BEMP, is a Bentley Fellow and Director of Building Performance Research with Bentley Systems Inc., focusing on building performance, BIM, zero-energy buildings, resilience, sustainability, and smart cities. With more than 40 years of experience in energy efficiency, renewable energy, and sustainability, Dr. Crawley has worked in engineering software development, government research, and standards development organizations, as well as building design and energy consulting companies.

A2 ZERO's June Lunch and Learn: Building Electrification: An Owner's and Architects Guide to Heat Pumps
2022-06-14 12:00 - 13:00
Event Details:
Most buildings run on multiple fuels: electricity to power lights and plug load and air conditioning and typically natural gas, to power furnaces, boilers and water heaters.
The persistent reliance on fossil fuels makes buildings one of the largest sources of planet-warming pollution. In order to meet local and county carbon neutrality goals, building electrification is a key action step. Heat pumps are the enabling technology of widespread building electrification. Unlike conventional furnaces or boilers, which burn fuels to produce heat, heat pumps use electricity to send heat where it’s needed or remove it from where it’s not.
This session will look at VRF and Roof Top heat pump systems and their application to both new and renovated buildings with the goal of selecting the best system application and taking advantage of multiple efficiencies in design.
