Like death and taxes, when it comes to
buildings, change is the only certainty: systems age, tenants come and go, and
new technologies create opportunities and risks. The typical result of this
change is decline. But you can do more than accept the inevitable. You can
embrace and benefit from change through re-commissioning.
This course is targeted at building
managers and operators, preparing them to get the most out of re-commissioning
their buildings. It uses case studies and interactive workshops to communicate
a firm understanding of the re-commissioning process, providing practical
knowledge that prepares you for your first (or next) commissioning cycle.
You will learn how to: define your scope;
incorporate LEED credit requirements; select the right service provider;
evaluate the quality of service provided and avoid common pitfalls.
4 GBCI CE credits

ATLANTA- Immediate past ASHRAE President Lynn G. Bellenger, who served as the first woman president in the Society's 116 year history, passed away Wednesday, Oct. 19. She was president for the 2010-11 Society year, with her term ending in June 2011.
Bellenger, P.E., Fellow ASHRAE, was a recognized expert in energy management, with a strong focus on the need for energy modeling to help create and refine more efficient buildings. She was a partner, Pathfinder Engineers & Architects, Rochester, N.Y.
"We at ASHRAE are greatly saddened by the death of our former president and our friend," Ron Jarnagin, ASHRAE president, said. "Her lifelong passion for engineering excellence resonated within our membership and our industry, inspiring us through her belief that engineers will lead an energy revolution with innovation. Through her service, she showed that there is a path available to all who wish to extend the influence of engineering principles to better serve the world we live in."
As ASHRAE president, Bellenger focused on Modeling a Sustainable World, sharing her thoughts about the role of modeling tools and how all involved in the built environment industry must come together to take advantage of "the rich opportunities for optimizing building performance through a collaborative approach from the beginning."
In an interview last year, Bellenger talked about her involvement in energy efficiency and how much has been put in recent years on the need to save energy.
"One of the cool things about the sustainability movement is that it has ignited a passion in people that is changing the world. That passion has brought a sense of energy and excitement to the industry and attracted people who are committed to designing and operating sustainable buildings. I don't see that changing in the future," she said.
Bellenger was a recipient of an ASHRAE Exceptional Service Award, a Distinguished Service Award, two first-place ASHRAE Technology Awards and the Lincoln Bouillon Membership Award.
She received a Bachelor of Science in mathematics from Principia College and a Master of Science in environmental science from Rutgers University.

ATLANTA – A new whitepaper that serves as the first vendor neutral thermal guideline for liquid cooled data processing environments is available for free download from ASHRAE.
“2011 Thermal Guidelines for Liquid Cooled Data Processing Environments” creates data center classes for liquid cooling that can enable fulltime economizers for a number of applications in many climates, according to according to Don Beaty, chair of the Publications Subcommittee of ASHRAE’s Technical Committee (TC) 9.9, Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment.
“2011 Thermal Guidelines for Liquid Cooled Data Processing Environments” can be downloaded for free from the ASHRAE TC9.9 website at www.tc99.ashraetcs.org.
The increasing heat density of modern electronics is stretching the ability of air to adequately cool the electronic components within servers as well as the data center facilities that house these servers. To meet this challenge, the use of direct water or refrigerant cooling at the rack or board level is now being deployed. This trend of increasing heat densities combined with the interest in energy and waste heat recovery created the need for liquid cooling guidelines to help bridge the gap between IT equipment design and data center facility design, according to Beaty.
Five liquid cooling classes have been created: • W1 – Facility Water Supply Temperature of 2 to 17 C • W2 – Facility Water Supply Temperature of 2 to 27 C • W3 – Facility Water Supply Temperature of 2 to 32 C • W4 – Facility Water Supply Temperature of 2 to 45 C • W5 – Facility Water Supply Temperature of > 45 C
In addition to the classes, the whitepaper provides insight into other considerations for liquid cooling including condensation, operation, water flow rates, pressure, velocity and quality as well as information on interface connections and infrastructure heat rejection devices.
This whitepaper follows an earlier whitepaper released in May 2011, “2011 Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments – Expanded Data Center Classes and Usage Guidance,” which addresses air cooling in data centers and created new data center environmental classes which expanded the opportunity for chiller-less data centers (fulltime economizers).
ASHRAE, founded in 1894, is an international organization of some 50,000 persons. ASHRAE fulfills its mission of advancing heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigerating to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world through research, standards writing, publishing and continuing education. |
