Attending next month’s ArchitectureBoston Expo (ABX)? Be sure to check out Reduction by Ventilation on Thursday, 11/15.
Ventilation is responsible for 45% of the average high-technology building’s energy consumption. Indoor air quality has emerged as a central concern in green building initiatives. Design professionals are progressively seeking strategies by which high-technology programs are enriched and informed by efficient and sustainable climate control methods. Via an analysis of research and healthcare facilities, we investigate and uncover the relationship between contemporary, high-technology designs and their built results. The study includes benchmarked actual ventilation used on projects and the strategies that were employed to achieve lower rates. Further investigation through building performance modeling visualizes the effects of ventilation rates on energy consumption, comfort, and health. From this research and analysis, best practices and cutting-edge strategies have been synthesized into a set of recommended design techniques to dramatically reduce a project’s outside air requirements. These proposed strategies can better align design initiatives and ventilation systems with sustainable ideals, providing significant reductions in energy and carbon emissions for high-technology buildings.

Thursday, November 15, 2012
10:30 am – 12:00 pm
Speakers
Andrea Love, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, Building Scientist, PAYETTE
Brian Spangler, Designer, PAYETTE
We are honored to share PAYETTE has received two 2026 Green Good Design Awards from The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies—Land’s Sake Farm and The Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT, and Harvard.
“Green GOOD DESIGN identifies and emphasizes the world’s most important examples of sustainable design and works to develop a public awareness program that informs the general public about which global companies are doing the best job in ecological and sustainable design for our world. Architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning projects, as well as product, packaging, and graphic design projects from over 30 nations were honored with the 2026 Green GOOD DESIGN Award.”
