Brian has also been a team member on many of the key building science research and policy projects focused on the west coast climate zone.
Brian will provide a brief summary of a long term monitoring program of 5 buildings over a 5 year period. All buildings were multi unit residential occupancy and incorporated rain screen cladding and glazing systems. The buildings ranged in height from low rise wood frame to high-rise concrete frame. Two of the buildings were re-habilitated and three were newly constructed.

This Months Meeting: Passive Solar, Mass and Glass
John Reynolds will be joining us from the University of Oregon to discuss passive cooling and heating. Oregons climate offers architects the opportunities of both passive solar heating and passive cooling. Passive and energy-conserving buildings seek to manage the available thermal energy by lowering peaks and filling valleys in order to maintain comfortable conditions for the occupants. Thermal mass and glass are two of the more powerful tools designers can use to control these conditions. John will discuss the principles of passive cooling and heating, the materials involved and their optimal locations within the wall assemblies.

IES Lunch Meeting - Art & ScienceDate: 04-16-2008, Time: 12:00pm - 1:30pm Location: The Governor Hotel - 614 SW 11th Ave, Portland ORArt & Science - Two words providing the only
bond between the two disparate design worlds of
interior and landscape lighting.
Landscape Lighting requires devotion. It changes
constantly before and especially after initial
design and construction. A successful lighting
system must anticipate and respond to all the
changes we can imagine and especially those we
cant. Jan will share some of her insights into the
technical issues and the ever-evolving palate of
equipment available for revealing garden details
from the dark.

Landscape Lighting erases those black mirrors
that windows become at night and creates a
visual link into the otherwise hidden garden. The
lighted image that we create can recall the
daytime appearance or something entirely new.
Jan will discuss the changing nature of landscape
space and all the issues designers need to
consider when planning a lighting system,
including how different designers see the same
space.

An update of the strategic progress against our five Strategic Goals.
An update of the brand revitalization and a preview of roll out activities scheduled for
May.

BEC Monthly MeetingDate: 05-08-2008, Time: 12:00pm - 1:30pm Location: PacWest Building, 1211 SW 5th Ave. 7th Floor South Conference RoomThis Month's Meeting: "Be Aware of Brick Veneer"
The May program will feature a panel discussion on the current City of Portland's requirements for veneer on metal studs. This typical construction of metal studs and sheathing, clad with metal panels or brick veneer, must document how the system will accommodate the buildings seismic movement without having material falling off the building. This seemingly simple requirement has significant architectural implications.
The panel will be comprised of:
Jed Sampson - Section Manager of the City of Portland's Structural Engineering Group
Amit Kumar - Structural Engineer with the Bureau of Development Services
Dave Bugni - Structural Engineer and member of the Structural Advisory Board
Steve Mortensen - Architect with YGH
Chris Tung - Structural Engineer with KPFF
The panel will be moderated by Rob Kistler.
If you are planning to design a brick veneer building in the city of Portland, this meeting will provide direction on how to meet the current structural requirements during the process.
