When designing or retrofitting buildings for increased energy efficiency and high performance, take care to not cause unforeseen and unintentionally detrimental issues for occupants or the building. Occupants may be adversely affected by decreased indoor environmental quality and water quality if green design is not carefully thought out and executed. Interior materials, furnishings or the building envelope itself can be compromised if energy conservation measures are not fully analyzed for potential effects. Speakers address potentially adverse issues affecting IAQ, acoustics, water-quality and the building (with potential solutions) when designing/retrofitting for energy efficiency and high performance.
