TOPIC: Building Decarbonization with Mick Schwedler - ASHRAE President

 

   


By: Mick Schwedler, P.E., Fellow ASHRAE, LEED AP, 2021-22 ASHRAE President


Presentation Abstract:    

“Decarbonization” has become a hot topic. But what is it, how do we estimate emissions reduction and how can HVAC systems be designed to reduce emissions? This presentation focuses on reducing emissions due to design choices, building operation and from the electric grid providing building power. Subjects include decarbonization definition, goals, example calculations of emissions, key HVAC components and effects, and a few system solutions. The presentation does not cover subjects such as embodied carbon or carbon emitted during construction. Consult materials available from the ASHRAE Task Force for Building Decarbonization for much more information.

Speaker Bio:     

In addition to his contributions to ASHRAE, Schwedler is an Applications Engineer at Trane, located in La Crosse, Wis. and has been active in the development, training, and support of energy efficient systems since 1982.

At Trane, Schwedler aids customers in system optimization (in which he holds patents) and chilled water system design. He has given technical seminars throughout North America, as well as in the Far East and South America. He has also presented such information as well as other sustainable education to over 30,000 people as presenter and host of Engineers Newsletter Live broadcasts and ASHRAE satellite events. Mick was intimately involved with energy modeling as author of significant portions of the TRACE™ (Trane Air Conditioning Economics) program’s equipment section.

Schwedler is a 1981 graduate from the University of Wisconsin Solar Energy Lab with a Master of Mechanical Engineering, and he earned his Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering from Northwestern University in 1980.
