Competition Categories HVAC Systems Design HVAC Systems Selection Integrated Sustainable Building Design (ISBD)* Focus of 2011 Competition and Requirements

HVAC Systems Design For students who have attended 1-2 HVAC courses Focuses on "right-sizing" HVAC equipment and systems to provide an energy-efficient design for the facility Students are required to determine heating and cooling loads, and design an HVAC system Students must demonstrate compliance with ASHRAE Standards: – – –

HVAC Systems Selection For students at schools completing a dedicated HVAC or building environmental systems curriculum The project encourages students with a solid HVAC base to: – use life-cycle cost process – incorporate ASHRAE Standard Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings – Incorporate US Green Building Council's LEED™ Rating System or equivalent

Integrated Sustainable Building Design (ISBD) For a multidisciplinary team to include students in engineering, architecture, technology, and other allied fields Teams are asked to design a sustainable or “net zero” energy building Students will be asked to document select LEED credits (or an equivalent)  measure the design Emphasis on whole-building design: – integrating architectural, construction, mechanical, electrical and other technical disciplines
