Sebesta to Present ACRP Report at TRB 95th Annual Conference

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Jan. 11, 2016 - PRLog -- Sebesta today announced Andre Lehr, LEED AP, will be presenting at the Transportation Research Board’s (TRB) 95th Annual Meeting, hosted at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, Jan. 11.

Lehr, Regional Business Unit Leader, will be presenting results published in the Airport Cooperative Research Program Report 139: “Optimizing Airport Building Operations and Maintenance Through Retrocommissioning: A Whole-Systems Approach.” (http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/172739.aspx) The session will outline how airports are beginning to utilizing retrocommissioning processes to improve the operation and performance of their facilities. The published report includes guidance on retrocommissioning in airports, case studies from international and regional airports, and a spreadsheet tool to help practitioners evaluate and select appropriate facility optimization measures based on cost, savings, complexity, visibility, and greenhouse gas savings. Airports looking to facilitate sustainability and reduce operating costs through enhanced O&M practices will find the guidance and recommended practices extremely valuable and practical.

Authors of ACRP Report 139 and accompanying materials include: Corinne Wichser, Jessica Parks, James Miller, Katie Anthony, Kristina Bach and Mary Terrell, all of Sebesta.

The meeting program will cover all transportation modes, with more than 5,000 presentations in nearly 750 sessions and workshops addressing topics of interest to all attendees—policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, as well as representatives of government, industry and academic institutions. More than 35 sessions and workshops will focus on the spotlight theme for the 2016 meeting: Research Convergence for a Multimodal Future. And more than 75 will address one or more of three “hot topics”: Transformation Technologies, Resilience, and Transportation and Public Health.
