Technical Seminar on “ASHRAE Standards and LEED v4 Update”

Date : 28 June 2016 (Tuesday)

Time : 7:00 – 8:30pm (Registration will start at 6:30pm)

Venue : CPD-3.28, 3/F HKU Centennial Campus, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong

Background:

USGBC launched the new LEED version 4 in November 2013 and this brought major revisions of the standard. LEED v4 has enhanced the requirements on a number of credits and now it references the 2010 editions of the major ASHRAE standards such as ASHRAE 90.1, ASHRAE 62.1 and ASHRAE 55 among others.

This seminar aims at providing an overview of the new requirements of LEED v4 related to ASHRAE standards. The seminar will cover relevant parts of different LEED rating schemes including New Construction, Existing Buildings and Commercial Interiors. The current seminar is an introductory event for the new LEED v4 ASHRAE-related issues and it will be soon followed by a series of detailed seminars on separate ASHRAE standards and their application in LEED v4 co-organized by Platinum Hong Kong and ASHRAE Hong Kong Chapter.

During the seminar, the speakers – Mr Rumen Yordanov and Mr Chris Leung will present tips for applying the new set of ASHRAE standards and some major revisions compared to LEED 2009.
