Integrating Renewable Energy Systems into Buildings

  • Vancouver Island Conference Center, Nanaimo River Room 101 Gordon Street Nanaimo, BC, V9R 5J8 Canada (map)

Agenda:

VI ASHRAE is proud to welcome ASHRAE Past Society President and Distinguished Lecturer, Sheila Hayter, to our February Meeting. Sheila will introduce us to technical opportunities, means, and methods for incorporating renewable energy (RE) technologies into building designs and operations. She will give an overview of RE resources and available technologies used successfully to offset building electrical and thermal energy loads. Methods for applying these technologies in buildings and the role of building energy efficiency (EE) in successful RE projects will be addressed. Sheila will also share a case study of a large office building project that successfully incorporated RE and EE strategies to achieve net zero-energy operations.

Target Audience: ASHRAE Members, Engineers/Consultants, Regulators, Building Owners, Students, Educators

Sheila Hayter

Sheila Hayter, PE, Fellow ASHRAE, Presidential Member is the Laboratory Program Manager (LPM) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) at DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). In this role, she leads NREL’s portfolio of activities focused on helping U.S. federal agencies identify, implement, and evaluate opportunities related to energy/water resilience and security, facility and fleet optimization, and energy and project procurement.  In addition to her FEMP LPM responsibilities, Sheila also co-leads NREL’s initiative to achieve net-zero emissions in laboratory operations, expected to be achieved through energy efficiency enhancements and increased integration of clean energy sources.  Sheila served as the 2018-2019 ASHRAE President and has held many other ASHRAE leadership roles throughout her career.  Sheila is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Colorado.

The Mission of the CTTC

The mission of  The Chapter Technology Transfer Committee (CTTC) provides efficient and effective transfer of current and relevant information throughout the HVAC&R industry to and from the Chapters. CTTC develops and maintains high quality and readily available tools to enable Chapters to offer information and attractive industry-related information and programs to all segments within the HVAC&R industry. CTTC reports to the Members Council.

We do this with Speakers, Panels or Tours.
