I am currently still in college getting my bachelors in environmental engineering with a concentration in sustainable materials and energy. I decided I want to go into the construction industry with a focus on green building and design. Should I switch to civil engineering or stay with environmental?

architecture, not CE or EnvE. Probably CE ahead of EnvE. Probably ME ahead of CE. Regardless, you will then be required to become LEED or equivalent.



At Cisco Live 2009, Tony Anderson provides a demo showcasing the Cisco Network Building Mediator, a Smart Connected Buildings solution that provides the intelligence to interconnect and enable building systems such as heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC), lighting, electrical, security, and renewables over the IP network to build smart and energy-efficient buildings of the future. This provides operators and owners of these buildings with new ways of managing how energy is used based on policies that make sense for occupants.

This is the first part of a continuing project to refurbish a 100 year old terraced property in West Yorkshire, England. This type of house is well known for being built when standards for insulation, air tightness and energy efficiency were very low.

It is a considerable challenge to retro-fit energy efficiency measures to this type of house and so the new owners asked the SURE Energy Group, working in the Wharfedale area of West Yorkshire, to give them advice and ideas about what has worked with similar houses in the locality.

SURE is creating a video record of this process and in future episodes will show how the work is progressing.

The intention is to inform and inspire people to tackle major energy efficiency works in their own homes. This is good for reducing their energy bills and for helping to reduce the likelihood of runaway climate change..

This house was built in 1986 on top of a hill from mostly recycled materials- barn beams & steel & 3 cedar corn silos. There are 25 cubic meters of concrete on the 3 roofs with continuous layer of insulation on exterior of concrete structure & under radiant hollow floors. 3500 sq. ft of floor space. With 8″-18″ of earth on the 3 roofs it is warm & cosy in the winter & cool & dry in the summer. I believe it is one of the most energy efficient houses in Canada

The 3-hour seminar is the class given prior to the first HERS (Home Energy Rating System) class given by the CBPCA (California Building Performance Contractors Association). The seminar reviews how the emerging building performance industry is impacting the work of building officials, inspectors, planning personnel, policy makers, and many types of contractors and green building consultants. Current funding available through AB811 tax assessments, federal tax credits, stimulus funding, and utility rebates starting in early 2010 are creating new business opportunities and driving the development of the building performance industry. Learn how you can take advantage of these opportunities in Sonoma County and surrounding areas. In addition, the fundamentals of building science principals will be discussed.

Californias Long-Term Energy Efficiency Strategic Plan establishes aggressive goals for reducing energy consumption in homes by 40% statewide by 2020. To meet this target, cities and counties around California are developing aggressive new policies and programs to support and grow the necessary businesses to achieve this goal. Learn how Sonoma County is making progress and how you can take advantage of the emerging opportunities.
