ASHRAE 189.1 Workshop (8:15 am - 12:30 pm) | Auburn Chamber of Commerce | March 25, 2011

Overview

ASHRAE recently released a new standard for the "Design of High Performance, Green Buildings" (Standard 189.1-2009). The Standard provides minimum requirements for a high-performance green building, and was developed with the intent of balancing environmental factors involved with the siting, design, construction, and planning for the operation of buildings. This session provides a detailed look at the standard, background on its development and some discussion on how it might be used and adopted by various localities and organizations.
