Seminar 41--Energy vs. Resilient Design Considering the Climate in the Design of HVAC&R

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

The increase in climatic events has forced design professionals to decide between achieving net zero and providing sustainability and resiliency to the building's operation and envelope. Design professionals need guidelines and strategies to prepare facilities for a major climatic event, to operate through the event, and then to sustain operations afterwards ensuring the safety of its occupants. With climate change and energy efficiency major initiatives for ASHRAE and with the occurrence of cybersecurity threats (stolen data, systems shutdown), how can resiliency be designed into IT infrastructure to safeguard HVAC&R equipment in any climatic event?
