Green Building Studio
Delivers First Carbon Neutral Building Design Training
Coupled with two days in the Sonoma Wine Country, the 'How
Low Can You Go?' hands-on training sessions are designed for
architects using BIM design and whole building energy analysis
tools.
SANTA ROSA, Calif., Sept. 5, 2007 /Green Building Studio,
Inc./ -- Green Building Studio, Inc., the leading
sustainability analysis software, training, and services
company in the architectural, engineering, and construction
industry, today announced an October 8-9, 2007 session for the
AEC Industry's first Carbon Neutral Design Training. The
two-day "How Low Can You Go?" training is designed for Lead
Architects and Design Teams seeking to lead the charge for
carbon neutral buildings. It will be held in the heart of the
Sonoma Wine Country region during the fall crush at Vintners
Inn north of Santa Rosa, California.
This training will be conducted by John F. Kennedy and Patrick
J. Bailey using Revit, ArchiCAD, and our Green
Building Studio web service (GBS). Core topics of the training
include fundamental principles of how a building
can achieve carbon neutrality, how today's BIM tools make it
easier then ever to do energy analysis, and why the earliest
decisions an architect makes are the most critical.
The training team will use the GBS web service Version 3.0
which has many new features specifically targeted to designers
of carbon neutral buildings including:
-- Carbon Neutral Building Check - Determining the feasibility
for building designs to achieve carbon neutral status.
-- Design Advisor - Determining how efficient each building
design could be given economic constraints and measure
cost assumptions.
-- US EPA Energy Star Score - Computing the US EPA Energy Star
score for every design change.
-- Corporate Account Capabilities - Constructing libraries of
shared corporate designs and building templates, and
demonstrating how to manage and review firm-wide designs for
energy and water use analysis.
The first training, held August 20-21, was a smashing success
and attendees from leading architecture firms
indicated that sessions were incredibly valuable. Training
will take place on October 8th and 9th at the Vintner's Inn
in Santa Rosa, California. The training costs $1,995,
including all gourmet meals. Accommodations and transportation
are not included, though we encourage all attendees to stay at
the reasonably priced Vintner's Inn.
Space is limited to twenty participants. Contact Merna Kerss
