The Labs21 2010 Annual Conference will include several symposia, which are detailed presentations on topics of interest to the Labs21 community with dynamic panel discussions. The following symposia are planned:
Tuesday, September 28 and Thursday, September 30
The DataCenters21 Symposium, now in its third year at the Labs21 Annual Conference, will be devoted to the discussion of how to reduce energy consumption in data centers. Over the past two years, the symposium has showcased professionals’ knowledge of and experience in creating and maintaining sustainable, energy-efficient data centers, particularly those that interrelate with laboratories. Data centers are a significant asset for computational scientific research, health care, and testing, and involve many of the same engineering challenges as laboratories in terms of air and energy management. The DataCenters21 Symposium will provide attendees with insightful and relevant information based on data center professionals’ hands-on experience with center design, construction, maintenance, commissioning, and legacy retrofits. Topics likely to be discussed include information technology equipment power use (e.g., server efficiency), environmental conditioning issues (e.g., heating, ventilating, and air conditioning [HVAC] best practices); and cooling options (e.g., air and liquid systems).

Part I of the laboratory energy What You Are Missing By Not Sub-Metering Symposium will highlight several case studies about laboratories that have extended metering beyond the central heating, ventilation, and air conditioning plan to reach laboratory modules and equipment and track and manage energy consumption. During Part II of the symposium, product manufacturers and service providers will share their perspectives and the systems available for energy sub-metering. Additionally, the I2SL/Labs21 Sub-metering Working Group will share its proposed sub-metering guidance that is being developed to support investment in sub-metering laboratory facilities.

Labs21 Partners have always led the way in promoting and implementing energy conservation technologies and practices in research buildings. So as the global need to reduce climate impact increases, Labs21 Partners are well positioned to make a difference. The approach is straight forward: reduce energy use as much as possible, then incorporate the cleanest possible energy sources. This symposium will explore buildings and energy systems on research campuses that are exemplary models of efficiency and climate action, with a focus on completed projects, lessons learned, and measured results. These campuses’ efforts range from programs to modify behaviors, such as conservation outreach programs, to installing large central energy-efficient systems, such as combined heat and power. By implementing best practices, the dream of a climate neutral research campus is becoming a reality.

Part I of the building information modeling (BIM) to Facility Management Symposium will
provide perspectives on BIM from the builder,
laboratory owner, and facility manager. During Part II of the symposium, industry
representatives from Autodesk and Bentley Systems will offer their view
of BIM systems and along with the National Institute of Building Sciences,
International Facility Management Association, and Virginia Tech,
will begin to frame a research plan for migrating BIM into a facility
management platform. Part II will also offer a facilitated discussion
between panelists and the audience.
