On October 23, 2024 Laurie Gilmer will take the stage at the ASHRAE Decarbonization Conference to lead a crucial panel discussion on Building Performance Standards (BPS). As the industry grapples with the pressing need to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency, the implementation of BPS has emerged as a key strategy for achieving these goals.
Understanding Building Performance Standards
Building Performance Standards are regulatory frameworks designed to set measurable goals for energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and overall building performance. They provide a roadmap for building owners, operators, and stakeholders to ensure their facilities meet specific sustainability targets. As the focus on decarbonization intensifies, BPS have become vital for both new constructions and existing buildings seeking to upgrade their performance.
Panel Discussion Overview
Laurie Gilmer’s panel will delve into the various aspects of BPS implementation, exploring the challenges and opportunities that arise in the process. Participants can expect a robust discussion covering:
- Best Practices for Implementation: Panelists will share successful strategies that have been employed across different regions and building types, highlighting the importance of stakeholder engagement and training.
- Regulatory Frameworks: The discussion will address how local and national policies can support or hinder the adoption of BPS, and what building professionals can do to navigate these complexities.
- Technology and Innovation: The role of emerging technologies in facilitating BPS compliance will be a key topic. Participants will learn about innovative tools and practices that can streamline the measurement and reporting of building performance.
- Case Studies and Success Stories: Real-world examples will be presented to illustrate how effective BPS implementation can lead to significant energy savings, improved occupant comfort, and enhanced building value.
Why Attend?
Attending this session will provide valuable insights for building owners, facility managers, and sustainability professionals. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how to effectively implement Building Performance Standards and leverage them to achieve decarbonization goals.
As the urgency to address climate change continues to grow, discussions like the one led by Laurie Gilmer are essential in equipping industry leaders with the knowledge and tools necessary for a sustainable future. Join the conversation on October 23 to be part of the movement towards a more resilient and efficient built environment.
