We are pleased to announce that Fred Andreas AIA and Dr. John Zhai will speak this week in Washington DC at the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) National Conference

Fred Andreas AIA and Dr. John Zhai will speak this week in Washington DC at the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Emerging Frontiers in Research and Innovation (EFRI) National Conference concerning their NSF funded project “Living Wall Materials and Systems for Automatic Building Thermo-Regulation”. With the goal of achieving net-zero-energy buildings in the U.S. by 2030, this project will develop intelligent and integrated building envelope systems with smart materials and innovative structures, upon a series of advanced and multi-disciplinary studies on Zero Net Energy Buildings (ZNEB), passive commercial building strategies, material science, structure engineering, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, system optimization, and architecture integration. The 5 year research grant funds integrated and interdisciplinary building systems research into a new generation of ZNEB buildings. The research team includes: PI: John Zhiqiang Zhai CO PI’s: Fred Andreas, AIA, LEED AP CAP YiFu Ding Kurt Maute Jerry Qi Hang College of Applied Science and Engineering University of Colorado Boulder


We are very excited to announce that the University of Colorado - Denver won Most Innovative in HEI Hotels and Resorts at the Better Buildings Case Competition held by the U.S. Department of Energy!

As part of its support for the Better Buildings Challenge, the DOE recently held a student case competition. Students in university energy clubs tackled cases that focused on a number of the most common, most stubborn barriers to energy efficiency in both the private sector and in state and local settings. The cases used real scenarios, information, and data provided by Challenge Partners and others in the commercial buildings industry. Through the Better Buildings Case Competition, the DOE was seeking creative and innovative solutions to these barriers that could be implemented by Challenge Partners thereby serving as "models for success" for the marketplace. The student teams competed to find the best solutions to the energy efficiency challenges presented in real-world case studies for the City of Houston, the District of Columbia, HEI Hotels and Resorts, and Cassidy Turley, a major commercial real estate firm. The students were judged on the merits of their written proposals and oral presentations, delivered to a panel of commercial real estate and energy experts. Two winners were recognized for each case study for the most innovative solution and the best proposal and were judged on criteria including: considering policy, finance, business strategy, and program design; developing realistic, scalable, and implementable solutions; and analyzing the potential outcomes and likelihood of success. HEI Hotels and Resorts: Most Innovative – University of Colorado, Denver The UCD team consisted of an interdisciplinary team from IGERT and CAP with Architecture students Meg Sheff-Atteberry and Jessica Weyandt and IGERT team members Tyler Huggins, James Scott Brew, Kyle Dunn, Brian MacDonald, Nathan Clark and Aaron Nelson with external advisor James Scott Brew AIA LEED AP from the Rocky Mountain Institute and faculty advisor Fred Andreas AIA LEED AP. The team presented three options to help hotel operators reduce their energy costs by adjusting their operations, which will save energy and allow the hotels to improve performance with no investment by the franchisor. To accomplish this, the hotel owner would request a two-year extension of the performance improvement plan, and the franchisor would defer $420,000 in royalties this year to be invested into performance-enhancing measures next year.
