SUMMARY:Benchmarking 101 + Help Session - June 2023
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER for this FREE Benchmarking 101 and Help Session!\nPresented in partnership with Building Energy Exchange St. Louis & the City of St. Louis’ Office of Building Performance \nWe will start with a presentation to cover the basics of benchmarking\, how to use the free\, online benchmarking tool ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager\, provide an overview of the City of St. Louis’ benchmarking requirements and how to report data to the City. Then we’ll break to provide one-on-one assistance with benchmarking your building’s energy and water use. See below for what you should bring if you need one-on-one assistance! \nPlease note: this presentation is free and open to anyone who wants to learn about benchmarking and saving money on energy bills. You need not own a building in the City of St. Louis to attend – you can even bring your home energy bill to practice benchmarking! \nWhat is Benchmarking?\nBenchmarking is the process of tracking your building’s energy and/or water use and comparing your performance to similar buildings and to past performance. Benchmarking is the first step in determining how to conserve resources\, reduce operating costs\, and reduce environmental impacts. ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is the tool that the City of St. Louis and many\, many other use for benchmarking a building’s energy\, water and waste. It is a free and secure online tool that tracks energy and water consumption\, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Any building can use ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager to understand their energy\, water\, and waste performance – schools\, governments\, congregations\, businesses and retail stores. \nAbout the City of St. Louis’s Building Energy Awareness Ordinance (Benchmarking Requirements) \nOn January 27\, 2017\, the City of St. Louis Board of Aldermen unanimously passed an energy benchmarking ordinance that requires municipal\, institutional\, commercial and multifamily residential buildings whose square footage is equal to or greater than 50\,000 to track and report their energy and water usage annually to the City’s Building Division (Office of Building Performance). Privately owned buildings are required to benchmark and submit data by May 1 of each year using the free\, online tool ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. Full details about the Building Energy Awareness Ordinance are available at www.stlbenchmarking.com. \nREGISTER \nTo Bring if You Need Assistance with Benchmarking:\nIn order for this event to be a success\, each building representative needing one-on-one assistance should bring: \n\nLaptop or Tablet\nEnergy Use Data – Attendees should bring at least 13 consecutive months of utility bills for all fuel types used in the building.

SUMMARY:Benchmarking 101 + Help Session - May 2023
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER for this FREE Benchmarking 101 and Help Session!\nPresented in partnership with Building Energy Exchange St. Louis & the City of St. Louis’ Office of Building Performance \nWe will start with a presentation to cover the basics of benchmarking\, how to use the free\, online benchmarking tool ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager\, provide an overview of the City of St. Louis’ benchmarking requirements and how to report data to the City. Then we’ll break to provide one-on-one assistance with benchmarking your building’s energy and water use. See below for what you should bring if you need one-on-one assistance! \nPlease note: this presentation is free and open to anyone who wants to learn about benchmarking and saving money on energy bills. You need not own a building in the City of St. Louis to attend – you can even bring your home energy bill to practice benchmarking! \nWhat is Benchmarking?\nBenchmarking is the process of tracking your building’s energy and/or water use and comparing your performance to similar buildings and to past performance. Benchmarking is the first step in determining how to conserve resources\, reduce operating costs\, and reduce environmental impacts. ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager is the tool that the City of St. Louis and many\, many other use for benchmarking a building’s energy\, water and waste. It is a free and secure online tool that tracks energy and water consumption\, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. Any building can use ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager to understand their energy\, water\, and waste performance – schools\, governments\, congregations\, businesses and retail stores. \nAbout the City of St. Louis’s Building Energy Awareness Ordinance (Benchmarking Requirements) \nOn January 27\, 2017\, the City of St. Louis Board of Aldermen unanimously passed an energy benchmarking ordinance that requires municipal\, institutional\, commercial and multifamily residential buildings whose square footage is equal to or greater than 50\,000 to track and report their energy and water usage annually to the City’s Building Division (Office of Building Performance). Privately owned buildings are required to benchmark and submit data by May 1 of each year using the free\, online tool ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. Full details about the Building Energy Awareness Ordinance are available at www.stlbenchmarking.com. \nREGISTER \nTo Bring if You Need Assistance with Benchmarking:\nIn order for this event to be a success\, each building representative needing one-on-one assistance should bring: \n\nLaptop or Tablet\nEnergy Use Data – Attendees should bring at least 13 consecutive months of utility bills for all fuel types used in the building. Bring the number of units of each energy type used\, not just the dollar amount of the utility fee.\n\nAccess historical utility data using your past bills\, or by setting up accounts on your utility websites: www.amerenmissouri.com and www.spireenergy.com.\n\n\nWater Use Data: Attendees should bring water usage and cost data for a period that covers at least 13 consecutive months\n\nAccess historical utility data using your past bills\, or by setting up an account on the St. Louis City Water Division’s website: www.stlwater.com\n\n\nProperty Use Details:\n\nAll properties:\nProperty Name\nProperty Address\nTotal Gross Floor Area of Property. Don’t know your GFA? Check St. Louis City’s Property Database.\nYear Built\nAdditional required information varies by building type. Refer to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager’s Data Collection Worksheet.\n\n\n\nConsent to Use of Photographic Images:\nRegistration/attendance at\, or participation in Missouri Gateway Green Building Council programs and activities constitutes an agreement by the registrants to allow the organization to use and distribute (both now and in the future) the attendee’s image\, in photographs\, video\, and electronic reproductions of such events and activities.

SUMMARY:Evening Program: Carbon Positive Solutions Showcase
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW! \nView a list of event attendees \nWe know that buildings have a big impact on greenhouse gas emissions and our carbon footprint. We also know that buildings’ impact can be mitigated through energy efficiency\, renewable energy and smarter material choices. But how can buildings have a positive impact beyond just doing less harm? Join us for a Carbon Positive Solutions Showcase\, inspired by Project Drawdown\, to learn about two methodologies that can make our buildings climate solutions – bamboo as a structural alternative to timber and decarbonizing concrete. Both bamboo and alternative cement are listed as solutions in Project Drawdown – ranking as the 35th and 36th most effective solutions (out of 100). \nSPEAKERS \nInnovate Bamboo: Bamboo poles as a sustainable structural material alternative for contemporary innovative mid-span design \nBy Wyly Brown AIA\, NCARB\, ByAK (Bavarian Architecture Guild)\, Founding partner at LBGO Architekten and Assistant Professor at Washington University\nProfessor Brown will explore timber bamboo poles as a fast-growing\, carbon negative\, and easy to process structural alternative to conventional timber and metal trusses for use in Central and North American applications. Costa Rica has been using bamboo vernacularly as low-cost structural building material for centuries. Few\, if any\, studies\, have been conducted and disseminated that demonstrate the viability of Costa Rican grown timber bamboo for applications that require compliance with structural standards and codes. Working with the experience of Costa Rican bamboo builders\, the engineering know-how of the Tecnológico de Costa Rica (TEC)\, the Sam Fox School at Washington University is designing and assessing the viability of truss assemblies made of bamboo poles\, as well as the structural properties of the material itself\, including what species of bamboo are able to grow in our region. \n\nNegative Emission Cementitious Materials Toward Zero-Carbon Concrete \nBy Hongyan Ma\, Francisco Benavides Scholar and Associate Professor at Missouri University of Science & Technology\nProfessor Ma will discuss two types of negative-emission cementitious materials. One assumes Portland cement serves as the dominant binder for making concrete\, and the other intends to replace Portland cement 100% percent towards overall carbon negativity. Professor Ma was recently tapped by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) to lead a $2 million grant project related to critical minerals and clean energy\, which aims to use silicate materials from mining waste for carbon capture and storage purposes. \nSPEAKER BIOS \n\nWyly Brown is a founding partner of Leupold Brown Goldbach Architekten (LBGO architects). He holds a Bachelors of Art in Anthropology\, and he spent a number of years researching the connection between cultures and monuments through the reconstruction of full-scale\, functional objects. Past projects include the reconstruction of Finnish reindeer-pulled sledges\, Egyptian obelisks\, British siege-engines\, and Medieval man-powered cranes. In addition to his professional practice\, Brown has taught parametric design and fabrication methods at the Chair for Architectural Informatics of the Technical University Munich in Germany and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in the Boston area\, and now is full time faculty at the Washington University in St Louis. His current research focus is on exploring Bamboo as an alternative sustainable structural material for use in temperate climates such as St. Louis\, and elsewhere in the United States.\nHongyan Ma is an associate professor of civil\, architectural and environmental engineering in Missouri University of Science and Technology (S&T). He received his Bachelor’s degree in Inorganic Non-metallic Material Engineering and Bachelor’s degree in Law from Chongqing University (China)\, Master’s degree in Structural Engineering from Shenzhen University (China)\, and PhD in Civil Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST\, 2013). Professor Ma’s current research interests include next-generation cements\, functional materials\, biotechnology in construction\, smart systems for testing and evaluation\, multi-scale characterization and modeling of concrete properties\, concrete deterioration and damage mitigation. He has published over 70 refereed papers\, of which 66 appear on international journals. He is an editorial board member of three journals\, and an active reviewer for 40 prestigious journals\, including Cement and Concrete Research\, Cement & Concrete Composites\, Construction and Building Materials\, Journal of Physical Chemistry C\, PCCP\, Applied Energy\, and ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering.\n\nREGISTER NOW! \nADMISSION\nFree – Members of Missouri Gateway Green Building Council and full time students / please note – you must be logged into your account to receive the free member pricing! \n$25.00 – NON-Members \nTHANKS TO OUR EVENT SPONSOR \n\n  \n  \n  \nCONTINUING EDUCATION\nSubmitted for 1 AIA CES/LU \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDescribe and question sustainable effectiveness of current conventional building material choices\, specifically related to their carbon footprint.\nExplore opportunities available for alternative sustainable building materials.\nAnalyze two types of negative-emissions cementitious materials – one assuming Portland cement as the dominant binder for making concrete and the other intending to replace Portland cement to reach carbon negativity.  \nExamine viability of timber Bamboo as a structural material and discuss permaculture as a means to reduce the distance from building material production to final installation.\n\nCONSENT TO USE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGES\nThis event will be recorded and shared on our website.
