Joel Loveland is the Director of the Integrated Design Lab (IDL) Puget Sound and a Professor in the Department of Architecture at the University of Washington. The IDLs activities date to 1980 as a teaching lab for the University of Washington and included being the first daylighting design assistance lab in the United States. Recent articles about the Labs activities have been published in both the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Metropolis Magazine and Environmental Design and Construction, the October, 2004 sustainable design issue of Lighting Design and Applications and in the European journal Intelligent Glass Solutions. In the last five years, four Lab projects were honored with AIA Committee on the Environment (CoTE) National Green Building awards. In the last year, he has given more than a dozen invited lectures and workshops in the US and Canada. He held the, 1998 Baker Chair of Architectural Lighting, at the University of Oregon.

Heather Burpee, Research Assistant Professor,
University of Washington, Integrated Design Lab
|
Heather Burpee is a Health Design Specialist at the University of Washington's Integrated Design Lab. In this role, she consults leading health design firms in the Puget Sound Region on best practices for high quality, energy efficient design for hospitals. In the past five years she has contributed to numerous projects for national and international firms in the Pacific Northwest. As part of her consultation, Ms. Burpee has established thorough research on energy efficiency of hospitals working with leading architects, mechanical engineers, and hospital owners to establish goals to radically reduce energy consumption in this building typology. In the last three years, Ms. Burpee has given more than a dozen invited lectures and workshops in the US and Canada on topics of healthcare sustainability including at ASHE PDC 2009 & 2010, Practice GreenHealth 2009-2010, CleanMed 2010 & 2011, and the Sustainable Healthcare and Hospital Development Conference 2010.

Michael Hatten, Principal Engineer,
SOLARC Engineering and Energy+Architectural Consulting
Michael Hatten, principal mechanical engineer at SOLARC Architecture and Engineering, has been actively involved in analysis, design, and construction of energy efficient buildings since 1981. He has a profound understanding of the real-world of building system equipment and operations, with a focus on energy-using systems. His experience in diagnosing and troubleshooting building systems carries over into his work with new projects both as engineering design discipline leader and specialty energy efficiency consultant. In addition to his technical consulting activities, Michael works closely with the Northwest Energy Education Institute as an educator and trainer to provide ongoing training in energy efficiency issues to the professional consulting community. Recent work with healthcare projects includes integrated energy design and retro-commissioning consulting with St. Lukes Regional Medical Center in Boise, retro-commissioning consulting with PeaceHealth (throughout the Pacific Northwest), and lighting design and energy efficiency analysis at Slocum Heathcare Center (Eugene).

Description
This session presents the results of the Targeting 100! Study, which provides hospitals with tools to achieve an energy use index of less than 100 KBtu/sf per year and an Energy Star rating of 100, and discusses the next steps in this research. Through a panel discussion, you will be provided with a roadmap to improve indoor air quality and energy savings in health care facilities. This session will enable you to-
• State five issues the project team must consider, based on the research results, when establishing energy utilization goals for a health care facility.
• Discuss, based on the research presented, how collaboration among the design, building mechanical system, and facility management teams is key to achieving energy goals.
• Create multidisciplinary project teams, as explained in the research, that have a clear understanding of their roles in improving energy utilization and indoor air quality in a health care facility.
• Discuss strategies, as suggested by the research, for gaining support from senior staff for addressing a health care facility's energy use to improve its Energy Star rating.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
-
Identify hospitals contributions to energy consumption and major opportunities for increased energy efficiency.
-
Identify integrated project team and specific systems strategies required to reduce hospitals overall energy load to meet significant energy efficiency goals, such as the 2030 Challenge.
-
Identify precedents that have implemented strategies to reduce energy use and increase overall indoor environmental quality for staff and patients.
-
Identify the cost implication of transforming a traditional hospital prototype to an updated, contemporary prototype that is energy efficient, better for human well-being, and leads to future infrastructure that is more sustainable.
