ABSTRACT OF TECHNICAL TALK:
The pre-dinner Talk comes in two parts:
The world is facing a crisis when it comes to energy availability and increasing greenhouse gas emissions. The forces that put us here look grim. Worldwide energy demand is increasing. Supplies are increasingly tight and society's anxiety regarding climate change is growing. Forces in the building industry are converging to make the prospect of substantial transformation much more achievable. The built environment has also been cited in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 4th Assessment Report as providing the greatest potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Innovation will be required to achieve high-performance HVAC systems around the globe.
This talk reviews ASHRAE's current efforts towards shifting the built environments towards sustainability and how it relates to all of us. Find out what how the next 15-20 years will transform the building industry and what will be expected of us in the future as the industry moves towards high-performance buildings.
1b) Enhancing the Optimum Performance of Chiller PlantsThis talk will present innovative techniques for the design and operation of energy-efficient and optimized chilled water plants. Chiller plants must minimize the annual energy consumption while providing the necessary cooling to each of the loads in the system.
Variable-primary flow chilled water systems have received much current attention. It has been suggested that the primary/secondary chilled water system concept has outlived its lifespan and that variable-primary flow is the answer to the problems that have led to its demise. Er. Kent Peterson will share his experience with both types of systems.
Engineers and facilities operators have many decisions to make when designing and operating central chilled water plants today. Many of these decisions require extensive consideration of elements beyond the perimeter of the plant. Some of these questions include:
• How can a higher chilled water delta T be achieved?
• What effect does delta T have on chiller performance?
• What plant configuration best fits the requirements?
• What control strategies can be used to optimize plant performance?
• How do you select the proper chillers, cooling towers and pumps?
• What type of building interface should be used to connect to central systems?
Both designers and operators must properly address these technical aspects to operate efficient chilled water plants that perform.
2) Leadership Skills for Outstanding Engineering PersonnelHave we ever wondered what leadership skills will help us succeed in business? This talk covers leadership skills, the fundamentals of project management, effective communication skills and negotiating skills. Leadership qualities in engineering require vision, communication, understanding, and the ability to balance clients' wants, needs, priorities and budgets. Come learn the soft skills engineers need in order to succeed.
The buzz word in the 21 st century is " SUSTAINABILITY" (of the built environment), and I believe these technical talks will benefit all professionals & interested parties in the HVAC and other related industries. Besides, be treated to a motivational talk on leadership qualities from a distinguished speaker in HVAC.
