High-Performance Buildings Simplified Designing, Constructing, and Operating Sustainable Commercial Buildings
ASHRAE 90467
Year: 2019
Abstract: Foreword
It has been interesting to watch the growth and evolution of the concept of high-performance buildings over the past 20-plus years.
Though it started as a niche market with a few committed early adopters, the concept has grown and entered the mainstream.
Even the terms have evolved—the discipline originally referred to green buildings, but the term high-performance buildings is now preferred.
A high-performance building still focuses on all the key topical areas that one would ascribe to a green building as defined in the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) program, but also strives to do so in a cost-competitive manner such that the conventional building market will want to adopt these principles.
The consuming public and other building professionals’ representative groups continue to become more aware of the societal need to provide buildings that are more resource-efficient and environmentally compatible.
The topics related to high-performance buildings include much more than just energy.
They also include carbon footprint, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality, materials and methods used in the building construction, and the operation and maintenance of the building.
All of these factors help to maintain high-performance characteristics beyond design and construction.
I have taught a course in Sustainable Building Design each year at the University of Georgia since fall 2007.
Although it originated in the College of Engineering with a focus on serving engineering undergraduate students, the course is offered to students of all majors and is co-listed with landscape architecture.
This was done purposefully for engineering students to gain insight into topics outside of their own technical discipline as well as help students from disciplines outside of engineering learn about the core technical aspects of a high-performance building.
