Don Shelby is widely considered one of the best, and most decorated, local news anchors and reporters in the country. He has won three National Emmys and two George Foster Peabody awards, which are the broadcast equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. He was awarded the National Distinguished Service Award by the Society of Professional Journalists, the International Radio and Television News Directors Associa-tion’s First Place honors for International Investigative Re-porting, and Columbia University’s duPont Award for Investi-gative Journalism. He retired from daily reporting and an-choring in November 2010, after forty-five years in the in-dustry.

Shelby was also a basketball player, leading his team to the 1965 Delaware County (Indiana) champi-onship, scoring twenty-five points in the final game, and being named to the All-County All-Star Team. He was inducted into the Delaware County Sports Hall of Fame in 2003.

As an adult, he coached his daughters’ teams for seven years, while continuing to pound the hard-wood himself. He played on a 35-and-over men’s team that won the Minnesota State Amateur Bas-ketball Championship title seven times.

Despite his professional accomplishments in the field of broadcast journalism, the face he shaves every morning is still that of a seventeen-year-old basketball player.

Keynote Speaker

Current Codes and Standards Upcoming Changes to the Minnesota Energy Code The Federal Government has mandated that States review and certify that their commercial energy codes meet or exceed ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010. Certification statements must be provided by October 18, 2013. A Commercial Energy Code Advisory Committee has reviewed the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010, and provided input for the future Minnesota Energy Code to comply with the Federal requirements. John worked on that committee, and will summarize some of the differences between the current and fu-ture Minnesota Energy Code

John Smith’s experience includes the mechanical design and project management of educational, commercial and medical facilities. In these roles, he has been responsible for the design of plumbing, medical gases, laboratory gases, and Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems.

In addition to his design and project man-agement experience, John has also served on various committees, including the State of Minnesota Commercial Energy Code Advisory Committee. He has also been a volunteer for over 10 years with the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), where he assists with writing and reviewing the Mechanical HVAC/Refrigeration depth module for the Professional Engi-neer’s examination. John taught property manager courses for the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), and been a presenter at seminars on the Minnesota Energy Code.

Dennis Stanke

High-Performance Building Design: Overview of ASHRAE Standard 189.1-2011 Buildings in the US account for 39% of CO2 emissions, 40% of energy con-sumption and 13% of water consumption. They also occupy valuable land, contribute to urban heat islands, atmospheric pollution, and landfill waste. More and more building owners and municipalities want a standard to use as the basis for code requirements for buildings designed to exceed minimum building codes. ASHRAE Standard 189.1-2011 “Design of High-Performance Green Buildings” addresses this need.

John Smith

Clayton Dumcum

High Performance Buildings: Achieving Superior Performance for Life This talk discusses what constitutes a high performance building and describes the cornerstones of high performance buildings. The current business environ-ment and challenges are addressed, along with the business case for high per-formance buildings. Performing critical audits and adopting effective mainte-nance approaches are highlighted as part of establishing a high performance building approach. Case studies are used to highlight how these concepts have been applied.

U of MN Morris Campus - hybrid renewable energy infrastructure. The Morris campus is unique in how it has evolved in a managing its en-ergy resources. It has moved from a traditional fossil fueled district heating operation to a campus that obtains the majority of its energy from local natural resources. The presentation will discuss the how the campus decided to build a dem-onstration platform that could conduct research and power a working campus community at the same time. The presentation will close with a discussion about what Morris plans to do with the successful transition to a robust distributed energy infrastruc-ture.

Smart Grid "Smart Buildings in a Smart Grid" The smart grid is turning out to be a journey rather than a destination. It's all too easy to forget why we collectively decided to embark on the journey in the first place, so this presentation will highlight the energy production, delivery and consumption scenarios we're facing now and in the future. - Challenges facing the power grid now and in the future, and how buildings are affected - Peak demand situations and how they are being handled today - Integrated automation, and how it improves energy reliability

Peter Dahl

He is charged with developing, deploying and servicing Demand Response and Microgrid products and ser-vices to round out Siemens’ smart grid product portfolio. Mr. Grant and his team work with utilities, governments as well as commercial and industrial customers to solve complex energy challenges in-cluding the successful integration of distributed energy resources, decentralized energy systems, de-mand and load management, energy market participation and myriad of other leading challenges. As part of the Siemens Smart Grid Division, the Energy Automation Applications Team complements Siemens’ leading sustainability portfolio by helping energy producers and consumers achieve new lev-els of operational efficiency.

Building Performance Metrics The USGBC MN Chapter is conducting a Green Building Performance Case Study, analyzing the predicted energy performance of 60 LEED Certified Buildings in the state of Minnesota related to actual post occupancy build-ing energy and water use based on utility bills. Additionally, the case study will analyze post occupancy performance of 20 of these buildings to include Greenhouse gas emissions based on energy fuel types and amounts and ventilation performance data of outside air supplied to the building from the building operations controls for indication of good in-door air quality.

Solar: Design Considerations from Incentives to Structure Is solar worth considering for your next project? REC’s, FIT’s, net-metering? Solar PV (electric) or thermal? Hot water or evacuated tube? Crystalline or amorphous? Roof-mount, ground-mount, or pole-mount? In Minnesota??? We will walk through some projects that have been completed, with information to help you develop the questions you need to have answered when considering a solar project.

Good Lighting Design Comes First Current energy policy, which regulates maximum energy usage for any given construction, is too often allowed to determine lighting design. I argue that, while energy conservation is important, good design must come first. Optimiz-ing lighting design, before consideration of raw energy use, produces results that are superior in their aesthetics and in their energy utilization. I will dem-onstrate how good lighting design can be accomplished in compliance with ASHRAE 90.1. Indeed, through the exploration of several diverse design con-cepts, I will demonstrate how good design often results in significantly less en-ergy consumption than is permitted by current regulatory policy.

Lighting for Today’s Sustainable World What is sustainable lighting? It goes far beyond just energy efficiency. The en-vironment is impacted by many criteria, and there is no single factor that is the most important. Mercury is one of the current buzz words, but there are many more environmental factors. For example, the quantity of lamps also plays a big part (fewer lamps equals less energy equals less waste at end of life). How do controls fit in? We will explore all of these criteria and provide examples of how to manage them - lighting the way for a sustainable future.

Ms. Bukalski holds a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering from the University of Kansas. With over 15 years of lighting experience including electrical engineering, lighting design, and manufacturing, she is currently a Commercial Engineer with Osram Sylvania. Ms. Bukalski has worked on several award winning lighting design projects, is a licensed Professional Engineer, is Lighting Certified by the NCQLP, and is a LEED Accredited Professional.
