Presentation by D. Michael Utzinger:
"Integrating Energy Simulation into Building Design: Lessons Learned"

The talk will focus primarily on integration of energy simulation models into the design of the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center and comparison of the models with measured performance of the building. The Aldo Leopold Legacy Center is a LEED Platinum building and the first to receive a LEED  Innovation Credit for carbon neutral/net zero design.

An associate professor of architecture at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Michael Utzinger began working on simulation models in the late nineteen seventies at the Solar Energy Laboratory, UW-Madison.  In addition to teaching he has consulted on a number of LEED and high performance building projects.  His experience includes establishing project energy goals (including net zero energy), integrating simulation into the design process and post occupancy evaluation of energy performance.
