Want high performance buildings without the hassle?

Sign up today to learn how to use Advanced Buildings Core Performance. Core Performance is the enhanced prescriptive path for commercial buildings that results in better energy performance without the time and expense of modeling.

Class Dates:

No classes are currently scheduled.

• A step-by-step simplified design approach for designing energy efficient commercial buildings
• Savings of up to 30% above national building standards such as ASHRAE 90.1-2004
• No energy modeling necessary for buildings up to 70,000 square feet
• Score up to five points in LEED Energy and Atmosphere Credit 1 without energy consultants or energy modeling on most building types*
• Cost effective alternatives even on those “no frills” projects including:
  o High performance envelopes
  o Efficient, high-quality lighting
  o Integrated HVAC design
  o Better indoor environmental quality
• Powerful features for buildings over 100,000 SF as well
• More sustainability with less effort

* Commercial Buildings under 100,000 SF.

•  Architects
•  Building owners and their representatives
•  Engineers
•  Project Managers
•  Design/Build Contractors
•  LEED Accredited Professionals

Core Performance can be applied to any building, but is most effectively used for the design of commercial, municipal and school buildings up to 70,000 square feet. Larger buildings or multifamily or industrial buildings have more intensive process loads and may require more advanced design options.

Note: This training provides guidance on designing with products, methods and materials that are readily justifiable at today's energy rates and readily available (but not commonly applied). Further, it emphasizes an enhanced approach to the design process that can dramatically improve overall building energy efficiency.
