Lighting, HVAC & Plumbing - High Performance
Sustainable Design
Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.
Overview
Sustainability has gained momentum in the building
design industry over the past few years. Sustainability is a term that
embraces engineering, architecture, facility construction, operation and
maintenance for the life of a building from conception of the idea - to
constructing the building - to the demolition of the building. Design
professionals who work with clients that are using long term life-cycle criteria
for making building product and system selection decisions will need to
understand sustainable design principles.
In this course the student will learn practical
sustainable design engineering issues and design processes for energy-efficient
buildings at the LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory). The topics discussed in
this manual can make a difference in the future sustainability of the laboratory
and can be applied to other building designs where the engineer wishes to
incorporate sustainability as a design parameter.
The student is expected to
read Chapter 5: Lighting, HVAC, and Plumbing in the LANL Sustainable Design
Guide published by the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at
the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
