717 Texas Building was the first LEED EB Platinum in Texas, and Hines BG Group Place is recertifying a Platinum LEED-Core & Shell to LEED-EBOM. LEED Platinum buildings are possible in Texas. Adam Rose (Director Property Management) Daniel Tice (General Engineering Manager), Sara Del Aguila (Property Manager) and Kathy Collins (LEED consultant) will give some insight on challenges and accomplishments to achieve Platinum level recertification at both properties. Hines Property Management Director Adam Rose said of 717 Texas, “As one of the first buildings in the world to re-certify under the LEED EB program, we have demonstrated that sustained progress in a large multi-tenant building is feasible over the long term through the attentive and collaborative efforts of the building management, tenants and ownership.” This is 717 Texas’ 3rd certification/re-certification and BG Group Place’s LEED CS to LEED-EBOM re-certification.

SESSION Ib Analytics – The Next Big Thing in Buildings David Clark | Vice President and General Manager, Climatec

After 50 years of evolution, building automation and controls have technically plateaued. For years we have been collecting trends, histories and archiving alarms creating massive piles of data. However, few are able to digest even a small percentage of this information. Analytics are the lever we need to break the information log jam.

SESSION Ic Interval Data Analysis Jonathan Wilson | Manager - Energy & Sustainability Services, Schneider Electric Dennis F. Cruse | Energy Manager & Principal, CPES LLC

Learn to leverage 15-minute interval data from your building’s utility meter to reduce both the cost and usage of electricity. Learn how your actions in the building impact the rate you pay, the delivery charges you incur in addition to the amount of power consumed and the relationship between all these factors so that you can achieve savings without capital expense.
