2011-12 Building, Ecology, Science and Technology Lecture Series

Stephen Pope, MRAIC, is a sustainable building design specialist at Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). Trained as an architect, he specializes in design facilitation and energy modeling for high performance buildings. This lecture will present results from a series of whole building analyses of common building energy efficiency measures in four common building types. Through this demonstration the advantage of deploying whole building energy analysis, even for minimum energy code compliance, will be argued and a case made for the value to an owner of requiring energy modeling as part of the design process.
