HOW BC HYDRO CAN HELP YOUR HIGH EFFICIENCY HOSPITAL
Mr. Damy has over 12 years experience in process re-engineering, project management and product development/implementation at IBM and TELUS. He will briefly discuss how BC Hydro can help your high efficiency hospital project.

Jessica Woolliams, , LEED Ap, M. PL, BC Director, Cascadia Region GBC
LIVING BUILDING FINANCIAL STUDY
Ms. Woolliams will briefly present the Hospital energy section of Cascadia's Living Building Financial Study and speak about her work at Harvard Medical Campus, where she and her staff's salary came from the energy savings that their work generated.

LESSONS LEARNED FROM OHSU CENTER FOR HEALTH AND HEALING
Mr Wilde will present a case study of the Oregon Health & Science University Center, built in 2006, which exceeds Oregon Energy Code and ASHRAE energy requirements by 61%. The environmentally-innovative engineering design was achieved with less than a conventional budget for mechanical and electrical system. Please download the Post Occupancy Evaluation here. Gerding Edlen has embarked on more LEED projects than any other development company in the US, and in 2008 adopted the Living Building Challenge as its goal for future projects. Mr. Wilde is a nationally respected green building expert and leads the Renewable Energy & Infrastructure division of GEDI. Please click here to see the updated costs spreadsheet clarifying the question that was asked in the lecture. The $500k that was referred to in the presentation (and about which there was a question) is actually carried in the bio-reactor line item. The $50k is an additional incentive that was received from the state.

NEW DESIGN PRACTICES IN HOSPITAL AND HEALTH SECTOR
Mr. Pradinuk has been responsible for the design of a variety of award-winning projects, including the 2001 Award of Excellence from Modern Healthcare and the AIA for Surrey Memorial Children's Health Centre. He is a member of the Green Guide for Healthcare Steering Committee. This section will be an overview of architectural, lighting and mechanical energy efficient design measures for hospitals, drawing on new research from hospitals in Europe, North America and BC. It will include a new proposed design at one local BC hospital, European case studies, and current BC ventilation load regulations.

PUTTING GREEN BUILDINGS & THE TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE INTO CAPITAL ASSETS
Mr. Corps is a Chartered Surveyor and principal authors of Cascadia’s groundbreaking study:  "High Performance Green Building:  What’s it Worth?"  Mr. Corps, former chairman of the Canadian Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), has led international industry initiatives to better interpret and report the value of sustainability in business cases and balance sheets. He has taken leading roles in mental health and seniors care program capital direction, as well as P3 business cases and capital planning.

WHAT IS THE 2030 CHALLENGE: WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM EUROPEAN HOSPITALS
Mr. Loveland and Ms. Burpee will present on research on both North American and European energy efficiency hospital design. They have been working with leading mechanical engineers to establish goals to radically reduce hospital energy consumption. Radically reducing loads in hospitals means a complete rethinking of the systems. Recent research in the Pacific Northwest highlights where major loads can be targeted and Scandinavian countries serve as built examples.

Afternoon Session

Caesar Ruest, Autodesk's BIM Solutions Executive

PREDICT PERFORMANCE WITH BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING
During his past 10 years at Autodesk, Mr. Ruest has influenced a number of strategic projects to adopt Building Information Modeling (BIM) beyond a traditional CAD process. In this presentation he will discuss the successful application of BIM with energy analysis, design predictability, as well as the importance for Building Managers and consulting Principles to mandate BIM in their offices. This session is suitable for Owners, Developers and Design Principles.

Boriana Arguirova, P. Eng., Associate and Project Manager, Building Engineering, Stantec's Health Care Group

HIGH EFFICIENCY LIGHTING DESIGN FOR HOSPITALS
Ms. Arguirova has over 15 years of experience in electrical design and project management, more than half of which is dedicated to hospitals. Boriana is an advisory member of Health Care Facilities Committee of IESNA participating in updating lighting standards of IESNA; is an active member of Lux Pacifica; and was in the CIE research group for "Effect of lighting on the human health." She will share her experience of designing energy efficient hospitals and health care facilities with 'healing' and staff friendly lighting. She will discuss complying with hospital lighting requirements and give real lighting engineering design tips.

HIGH EFFICIENCY MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
Mr. Marmion has won a number of engineering awards, presented at numerous conferences and published several papers on sustainable design in healthcare. He was involved in the writing of the National Energy Code of Canada and was a past director of the Canadian Green Build Council. Paul is an active member of the ASHRAE Advanced IAQ project committee, writing a new multi-discipline IAQ design guide. He is also working on funded multi-disciplinary research into displacement ventilation, natural ventilation and emerging best practice design principals in healthcare settings. Mr. Marmion's talk will focus on complying with hospital heating, ventilating and cooling requirements and tips on designing with energy efficiency in mind. Real engineering design tips from actual hospital projects will be discussed.

Architectural Institute of BC: The conference has been approved by the AIBC; 7.5 Core Learning Units.
