Designing high performance buildings: using an integrative design process Integrative design is a key strategy in designing high performance buildings. But where do you start? Join Sachin and Helen to engage in a brainstorming exercise similar to what occurs during an eco-charrette (design workshop). Collaboration early in the design process is vital in order to implement strategies that produce low energy consuming and healthy high performance buildings. This multi-disciplinary, highly facilitated approach enables your team to expose potential problems, generate alternatives, consider outcomes and make informed decisions. Discover the steps and tools you need to apply this process to your own design projects.

* Film Premier: "Payback"Film Premier: "Payback"

Margaret Atwood’s visionary work Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth is the basis for this riveting and poetic documentary on “debt” in its various forms—societal, personal, environmental, spiritual, criminal, and of course, economic. Filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal (Manufactured Landscapes) strikingly interweaves these (sometimes surprising) debtor/creditor relationships: two families in a years-long Albanian blood feud; the BP oil spill vs. the Earth; mistreated Florida tomato farm workers and their bosses; imprisoned media mogul Conrad Black and the U.S. justice system. With stunning cinematography and insightful commentary from renowned thinkers Raj Patel, Louise Arbour and Atwood herself, Payback is a brilliant, game-changing rumination on the subject. http://www.zeitgeistfilms.com/theatrical.php

* Solar 103: Transforming Solar Solar 103: Transforming Solar

Time: 1:00 pm

A stimulating overview and discussion of an integrated hardware/software platform that combines battery storage with renewable energy sources like solar. This can shorten the payback period of distributed renewable energy by up to 50%, potentially tripling a building owner's energy cost savings. The large scale and intelligent management of the network of home and businesses allows it to provide additional benefits to the building owner, in effect, creating the equivalent of a virtual power plant.
