Chase Center Arena & Mixed-Use Development: High Performance Design at Mission Bay
Clark Denson, PE, CEM, BEMP, SSRCx
Eric Sheffer, SSRCx
The ambitious Chase Center Arena and Mixed-Use Development Project in San Francisco required an interactive and collaborative design process to achieve the building performance and sustainability goals of the owner, the Golden State Warriors organization. Energy modeling was critical to achieving compliance with local codes, LEED Gold certification, and earned incentives through the Savings By Design program. This presentation will provide perspectives from the owner and design team as to how the project goals were achieved.

Indoor Air Quality in the COVID Era: Commissioning & Construction Considerations
Raj Setty, PE, CxA, LEED AP, Setty
Michael Wolf, PE, CxA, LEED AP, Farnsworth Group, Inc.
In response to COVID‐19, building owners, managers and tenants are rapidly planning how to adapt their current buildings to safeguard against future disruptions to occupancy. A critical part of the conversation needs to be indoor air quality (IAQ) and reducing transmissions through the air. We as an industry will need to step up our diligence to deliver and operate buildings in a much tighter IAQ paradigm. In the future, buildings can be judged on whether they mitigated transmission or not.
IAQ in commissioning and construction – is it working? How does your new functional test look for virus mitigation, and should we even have one if asked? We know there will be a functional performance test (FPT) for extra outside air, adding in UV-C or static pressure readings on the filter changes. But how does an FPT look to use these all in concert?

Conserving Energy through Building Enclosure Commissioning
Elizabeth Cassin, LEED AP, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates
The building enclosure is a significant contributor to the energy consumption of a building, and its resistance to heat flow and air leakage has a direct effect on how HVAC systems perform. To help ensure performance of these systems, reduce energy usage, and save cost, Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) is becoming common practice for building owners seeking to achieve green certifications or ratings, or to simply be sustainable and successful. This presentation will review BECx activities that a commissioning provider should understand to conserve energy, specifically achieving target energy consumption levels for LEED v4 and in-service energy-efficient performance by reducing heat transport through conduction and air leakage across the enclosure. Topics, illustrated by real-life examples, will include: critical components of the OPR, building science issues to address in a design review, verification of performance through computer simulations and performance testing, and installation issues to address during construction.
