Course Description: CEU Events: Harnessing Energy and Reducing Carbon with Phase Change Material Ceilings
Have you considered building materials as a source of optimizing energy performance and reducing operational carbon emissions to meet sustainability goals? In this course, participants will understand how building materials such as phase change material ceilings can address building occupant discomfort related to acoustics and temperature. The course will review the fundamentals of thermal mass in buildings, explore phase change material and dive into applications and case studies. This course will demonstrate how innovative products like phase change material ceilings can contribute to numerous sustainability criteria such as LEED credits.
Learning Objective 1 Review the fundamentals of acoustical design, including key definitions and how ceilings play an important role in acoustic performance of buildings and address building occupants’ number one concern.
Learning Objective 2 Consider how thermal mass such as phase change materials address an important part of building design and contributes to reducing energy use.
Learning Objective 3 Recognize how Phase Change Materials provide thermal mass benefit, impacting both comfort and energy use. And understand how key thermal performance attributes are measured.
Learning Objective 4 Explore various sustainability benefits and attributes associated with acoustical ceilings and thermal comfort.
