This in-depth workshop concentrates on the cornucopia of available energy efficiencies that are applicable to existing building stock. The
workshop is intended to familiarize today’s property and facility management professionals, as well as other industry participants with
the best options to achieve energy efficiency through retrofits and what to look when considering the move to sustainable properties or
how to achieve sustainability through retrofitting a current dwelling.
Included in the tutorial are:
• Ways to minimize primary energy consumption for heating, cooling and hot water, per gross floor area
• Optimizing the integration of solar energy use
With case study presentations, the facilitators will address the surprising technical benefits of traditional (historic) design and materials when it
comes to retrofitting the structure. Special emphasis will be placed on energy efficiencies that can be retrofitted into historic buildings. The session
will also address working around existing constraints.

This session will explore how greyfields (functionally underutilized or physically obsolescent real estate assets that are often seen in
suburban areas in the form of outclassed shopping malls (aka dead malls) or in urban environments where local economies no longer
employ factory workers, such as with an abandoned industrial mill or manufacturing plant) can be redeveloped sustainably and cal often
be more ‘green” than new ground-up developments. Since greyfields are often acquired empty, a full scale, well organized and green
refurbishment is possible. In addition to touching on LEED EBOM, this in depth session will address:
• Greening through recycling of old materials
• One shot renovation with new green building materials
• Greening greyfields that are not currently vacant.
• Energy savings tips |
Using the complete LEED Existing Building rating system this ‘how to’ workshop
will take each prerequisite and credit and give clear defined terms of:
The reasons behind each prerequisite and creditWhat the prerequisite and credit is really asking for
Where do you find ‘the answers’?
What submission items will be needed to be supplied to the USGBC review
group?
What questions you can expect back from the review group and how to
answer them
