Deep Energy Retrofits
Presented by Alex Douglas and Kirk Williams, hosted by Ed Citzler.
This presentation provides an overview of what deep energy retrofits are, requirements and goals from executive orders, how the Corps can support retrofits, examples from pilot projects, and best practices. Deep energy retrofits aim to reduce a building's energy use intensity by 40-50% through major renovations and bundles of energy conservation measures across building systems. Pilot projects like the Presidio Army Barracks reduced energy use intensity by 70-80% using strategies like improved insulation, radiant heating, LED lighting, and solar hot water. Best practices include integrated design, detailed energy modeling, quality assurance, and analyzing multiple energy conservation measure combinations.

No sound !
Great talk which you can find in roughly similar versions in other videos on UA-cam. In fact, I now feel bad because I commented on another video where Dr. Lstiburek gives this talk (at Berkeley) that I thought his attitude was quintessential engineer, caring only about the construction of the building, and not the aesthetics. I find in this, earlier, talk, his view is much more reasonable and measured. As he says here, if you want a building to last a long time, make it beautiful. His insights about LEED certification -- which of course carry a fair amount of weight with laymen like myself -- are very interesting (he views the whole thing as what I believe these days is called "greenwashing", i.e., pretending to be "green" and efficient but failing at the real task) and deserve a well-focused 5-10 minute video of their own. And now to go find that other video and delete my comment... 🤓
For construction phase, summary goals in bullet point form is required to be written into the Partnering agreement. Otherwise discussions without record lose attention quickly. Some contractors just do not have practice with sustainable methods and documentation within the USACE culture and how it integrates with LEED if that is to be pursued. Same is true for some USACE employees.
Please keep it up! This channel needs P r o m o s m!!
He's the rockstar of building scientists, I wish he would do a good lecture on building underground homes. Which direction does the moisture in the soil go?
"...so don't do stupid things." LOL
I always get confused. So on a residential, is something like Tyvek home wrap what you would put on the exterior sheathing, because it's an air barrier and vapor retarder?
Tyvek Homewrap isn't an air barrier or vapor retarder, in fact homewrap is highly permeable by design at 56 perms. If you choose this weather barrier, you would need to tape all the joints in the sheathing behind the homewrap to provide the first air seal. Then install your rigid insulation layer over the homewrap, and then a rainscreen over the rigid insulation. Ideally you would want something self-adhered if you want something air tight, like delta vent sa or siga majvest sa.
Thanks for the presentation, However, the presenter's accent is so thick and hard to understand and follow "NO OFFENSE "
Can someone advise which Willis Carrier book he is referring to?
all architecture schools should be teaching efficient building performance as part of good design! and Joe's lectures are a great start....
brutal no one ever has the courage to say what is wrong .joe thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, i learned a lot .a big hug from your fan number 2 😀 a lot of health and all the best
Good joject .I met with him in Manhattan NY ,but i lost his business card
Hi Joe .I know hm from 53 street on Manhattan Hello Joe
Too bad there's no sound. The video looks interesting. The presenter Douglas Hamborsky is co-author of a 66-page PDF on "Re-Inventing Microgrid Power Systems for Net Zero BUildings" accessible via www.google.com/url?client=internal-uds-cse&cx=004282127640923481864:gc0jk3vaqow&q=www.emergealliance.org/portals/0/documents/events/greenbuild2015/151104_Greenbuild_2015_Final.pdf&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjej7XSweLjAhVIvJ4KHZKkBXsQFjABegQIERAB&usg=AOvVaw05x0PCkspE7s-jATDP83iW
Can you please send its ppt
Lstiburek should open for Kevin Hart.
Somebody needs to waterproof this guy's ego because he desperately needs validation of his personality.
My hero of Building Performance
Dude yiu are the funniest guy ive heard in years. You would be a hit in my circle if friends. Its like when we were in the first grade trying to get milk come out of my nose.
This man is smart but he is also an insulting smart ass at times.
This presentation assumes energy starvation for the forseeable future which has never proven true. Human beings will not accept such a bleak future when there is an abundance of energy resources. This is just another hit job pushing solar and wind regardless of the impact. Mass and energy balances show that wind produces more pollutants than a coal fired power plant while producing only a fraction of the energy. Wind costs $150 per MWH versus $60 per MWH for coal fired power plants.
Sound editing was out of sync.
Can you please email me the pdf to Sgill999@gmail.com
love it when he gets wound up.
Why post something that is not understandable? I am interested to see/ hear what the USACE has to say about these topics but cannot get past the unprofessional post. this is my second video I have tried to view.
I didn't learn anything new, just a new way to approach it. An amazing presentation, thank you.
People take care of really really really old and really really really really big buildings no matter what the cost lol
Can you send me ppt ali.majid.zayer@gmail.com
pls speak faster and try to sound like your alive
Although your comment could have been relevant the way you phrased it is utterly rude! It's never hurt to be polite!
Could you send me that pdf, please?
This video presenter was long winded. Talked alot about need because of bureacracy but not about actual engineering calculations. I call fail.
An interesting summary of recent and on-going construction projects that use CLT, but, overall a missed opportunity because the presentation contains almost no technical detail on things like: how is CLT made (species, glues, dimensions) nor the physical and mechanical properties of typical CLT beams.
Could you send me that pdf please kandywood17@gmail.com
Sound?
We seem to have lost it. I'll see if I can re-upload the original video if I can find it. The person who ran the recording then has since left our organization.
man please someone tell me., "How strong is a 6x6 Glued laminated timber? I have like 50 to 60 of these and need to know what is the span of these before a post is needed. say like 20 feet?
Depends on load.
So, Joe, how do you really feel about it? ;-> The UA-cam title for this talk tells no-one anything about the topic of the talk: the serious need for architects and building engineers to learn and apply building science. Great examples of great mistakes. Always good to hear your reminders about the need for common sense in design. It's a serious story delivered in a humorous way. Thanks!
Hi there, is there any chance of getting a copy of the pdf
Great presentation. I love Joe's sense of humor.
Especially the part where he makes himself seem smarter by assuming everybody in his audience is stupid. True bravery on display here.
"If you do the wrong thing right, its still wrong, right?" Quality control of bad design insures you get bad design right.
Slams LEED min 9 Engineers enable this bs, "we don't measure energy, we simulate it" min 10
I want to know if the thermal bridging is through the wood or where the soft insulation meets the wood?
The don't do stupid things mantra also extends to presentations! Duh!
Excellent! Interesting and very educational.
