MFD 05N - Auditing Multifamily Buildings (PM in-field)
Monday, April 23, 2007 · 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Discover how to apply small home building performance principles into larger residential buildings. Explore the fundamentals of fuel analysis, energy modeling, and areas of energy inefficiency that should be addressed in typical multifamily buildings. Discover opportunities and differences – from low-rise to high-rise. Tour an existing multifamily building, and concentrate on the clearly evident and less obvious deficiencies in energy and water efficiency, health and safety, durability, comfort, and affordability.
By attending this session, participants will
1. Learn the unique differences of performing energy and water efficiency analysis in multifamily buildings
2. Understand the relative efficiency of multifamily buildings in comparison to single family homes
3. Learn the principle areas of inefficiency in multifamily buildings, whether they are centrally or individually heated and cooled, and how to influence the building owner to participate in the process and the financing
