Topic:

Transforming an Existing Building into a High-Performing Facility

Most buildings, new or old, do not perform anywhere near their most efficient potential. HVAC systems deteriorate with time. Find out what to look for relative to improving the efficiency of the HVAC and lighting systems in a building, learn how to do it at minimum cost by taking advantage of incentives and rebates, and learn how to keep it performing at its potential to save your owner operating and utility costs. The presentation can be modified for joint meetings with building owners and facility managers, USGBC and IFMA chapters, and design-build and service contractors.

He is currently a corresponding member of multiple ASHRAE technical committees, including the team that authored the new “Climate
Change” chapter in the 2021 ASHRAE Handbook of Fundamentals.

With decades of experience in energy efficiency, HVAC design, and IAQ, Jim presents regularly on high-performance building strategies. His presentations—delivered worldwide—span both technical and non-technical audiences, covering topics such as LEED Certification, decarbonization, electrification, and sustainability and resiliency.
