The vast majority of buildings that will exist in the year 2030 exist today. If we are to have a material impact on overall energy use, it is through renovation of existing building stock. While existing buildings present great challenges, they offer us a greater opportunity to significantly impact our overall national energy demand, reduce our dependence upon imported oil and gas and minimize our carbon footprint. If the building industry is looking to build a sustainable future, we can see the foundations of that right now

| Joint meeting with IoR and co-sponsored by the IMechE GLR and co-sponsored by the IMechE GLR |
|
This presentation will consider what drives take up of renewable technologies with respect to building hot water needs.
It will cover the design considerations to provide a reliable supply of hot water with efficient use of fossil fuels to reduce carbon footprint particularly with the integration of solar thermal technologies. The presentation will consider the matching of solar collectors and storage and look at the effectiveness and control of the systems. Finally the possibilities of linking of solar systems to both hot water and heating systems will be discussed.

| Joint meeting with CIBSE CHP Group and IMechE GLR sponsored by BAXI-Senertec UK
|
| |
A debate led by outspoken experts who both believe that their interpretation of the ‘real’ carbon impact of building systems design is correct. This is intended to be an interactive debate about many of the key carbon saving opportunities for the building services sector with a particular focus on CHP and the likely impact of feed-in tariffs when they are introduced in April.
Speakers including:
William Orchard, Orchard Partners
James Thonger, ARUP
Chairman: Ewen Rose, Chair ASHRAE Region-at-Large (UK and Ireland)
Special contributors: Paul Lewis of Self Energy; Phil Jones, chair of the CIBSE CHP group and David Shaw, Baxi-SenerTec UK.

Nigel will consider what tools are available to building services engineers to help them tackle the essential task of reducing carbon emissions from the existing building stock. He will also analyse how energy performance and display energy certificates are changing perceptions of the operating costs of building.

This event will be a first for the CIBSE ASHRAE Group. A truly worldwide
event where 4 speakers will join in with live presentations from across the
globe providing insight on whether 'Green design' is really moving forward.
Each speaker will present for 10 minutes on the implementation of 'green'
building designs that are designed to maintain a comfortable and usable
internal environment whilst minimising the lifetime environmental impact of
buildings in their part of the world. The focus will be on the input of the
Building Services Professional (or M&E Engineer) into the process.
For those attending the event in London there will be opportunities to
question the speakers. We aim to record the presentations and post them on
the CIBSE ASHRAE website.
There will be 4 speakers including ......
CHICAGO, USA .... Benny Skelton is a senior specialist and co-founder of Building
Momentum Group in Chicago Illinois. He has been a member of ASHRAE's
Electronic Communications Committee and YEA. As Region 6 EC chair he
transformed how chapter members and volunteers communicate by implementing
webinars, web meetings and many other electronic tools
DUBAI, UAE .... Bill Jolly is Head of MEP-UAE for KEO International and has
over 20 years experience in the construction industry. He has produced
numerous sustainable designs and is professionally recognised as a
sustainability expert. Bill is actively involved in many initiatives
throughout the Middle East and recently worked on the Burj Khalifa Tower
NEW DELHI, INDIA .... Ashish Rakheja is Chief Operating Officer of Spectral
and his expertise includes design & coordination of multi-disciplinary
engineering activities. He heads the large team of engineers and has
hands-on working experience for projects all over India including the design
of services for 10 LEED Platinum rated green building projects. He is an
active ASHRAE member and is currently President of ASHRAE India Chapter.
LONDON, UK .... Wojtek Stec graduated with a PhD degree in mechanical engineering and focused his research on the optimisation of the building design, and in particular on the use of double skin and green facades in order to control solar gains and natural ventilation. He has 5 years experience working in the area of passive design, natural ventilation and its control, daylighting, mixed mode ventilation, energy and sustainability benchmarking, low carbon and renewable energy sources. He is currently a Senior Environmental Engineer at Cundall in London.
