The Sierra Green Building Association's (SiGBA) upcoming "Live Green Build Green" Speaker Series, Tuesday, September 18th. The event will feature Stephen Witek from Sustainable Environment Engineered Design (SEED). This free event will be held at the Cedar House Sport Hotel at 10918 Brockway Road, Truckee, CA 96161 starting at 6 p.m. with no host food and drinks. The presentation begins at 6:30 p.m.

Stephen Witek received his Bachelor of Science major in Architectural Engineering with an emphasis in Mechanical Engineering at Penn State University in 1997, and interned with the Smith Group in Detroit MI. Stephen went on to be the secretary of ASHRAE, American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers and received his LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional certification in 2001. Stephen participated in the first LEED Platinum Building in Anapolis Maryland. And is currently a member of AIA, American Institute of Architects and is an Energy Star Partner.

Stephen Witek will be presenting an overview of the National Energy Codes, including ASHRAE 90.1, the Model Energy Code, and California Title 24. The discussion will cover how these codes apply to all buildings, and the calculations procedures involved in verification of these codes. The discussion will involve an introduction to building energy use calculations; and a further introduction to the energy analysis software (i.e. DOE2, BLAST, EnergyPlus, Energy Pro, Energy 10, Equest, HAP, and Trace). The discussion will introduce the techniques used to site locate a building, to determine proper glazing amounts, analyze insulation levels, and passive solar analysis. Further discussion about what LEED points are effected by this analysis.
