With contractors representing 25 percent of Expo attendees, ASHRAE seeks to bring their knowledge and expertise into these sessions as well as to help shape the Society?s future activities in contracting and design/build."

The sessions, which require no conference badge or fee for AHR Expo attendees, are Construction Management, 2-3 p.m.,Monday, Jan. 25, and Cost/Benefit Analysis Methodology and Tools Needed by Owners, 2-3 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 26.

Cost/Benefit Analysis Methodology and Tools Needed by Owners providesan understanding of high-performance building cost-benefit analysis with a focus on the LEED rating system. Several topics are addressed, including cost/benefit project setup, fiscal metrics, constraints and length of analysis.
