ASHRAE President, Bill Harrison
Maintain to Sustain - Delivering ASHRAE's Sustainability Promise
Co-sponsored by the IMechE CBSD, IMechE GLR and ASHRAE
  Bill Harrison, president of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers will focus on operating buildings to deliver the energy efficiency inherent in their design, including - effective commissioning; improved documentation; and programmes to educate and certify building operators. Harrison says "If the studies are accurate, we have a no-regrets method to reduce energy use in buildings by 10 to 40 percent, solely by improving building operations. All we have to do is communicate and educate more effectively."

Solar Water Heating
Speaker: David Pepper, Lochinvar
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.
