Events & Webinars

Director of Research Dave Bohac will present on airflow and energy modeling of new U.S. low-rise multifamily buildings on December 7 at ASHRAE's conference focusing on the thermal performance of the exterior envelopes of whole buildings.

Russ Landry, senior research engineer, and Grace Diller, program manager, will be presenting at the University of Minnesota's Annual Institute for Building Officials on January 27. These sessions will give practical guidance for review of projects against Minnesota's Commercial Energy Code Requirements. The first part will take a deep dive into the most recent and impactful envelope requirements. The second part will provide practical guidance for reviews on the envelope trade-off portion of COMcheck and other performance path submittals, and will summarize the most recent and impactful mechanical and electrical system energy code items.

CEE staff will attend and present at the ASHRAE and SCANVAC HVAC Cold Climate Conference 2023, March 6–8. The goal of this International conference is for built environment engineers, practitioners, researchers, scientists, owners, and government officials working in cold climate regions to share recent solutions and advancements addressing changes in climate.

The Getting to Zero Forum brings together the world’s leading experts to share best practice approaches to reducing energy demand and decarbonization related to policy, program, and projects. It is the only event with a broad cross-section of stakeholders focused on ambitious building efficiency goals and is an ideal venue for organizing both the policy and building communities to achieve zero carbon ambitions. On May 10–12, participants will share perspectives on the growth of zero energy and zero carbon, learn about best practices for successful projects, and collaborate on opportunities for zero energy and zero carbon to transform the built environment.
