SUMMARY:High Desert Lecture Series: Shane Von Schlemp & Thru-Hiking the Oregon Desert Trail
DESCRIPTION:In the second installment of its new High Desert Lecture Series\, the Oregon Natural Desert Association on Wednesday\, March 11 will welcome an adventurer who last summer completed the entire 800-mile Oregon Desert Trail. \nJoin us for “Shane Von Schlemp and Through-Hiking the Oregon Desert Trail.” \nLast summer\, long-distance hiker Shane Von Schlemp became one of the first to complete the new\, roughly 800-mile Oregon Desert Trail. A project of ONDA\, the trail winds from outside Bend through Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge\, Steens Mountain Wilderness and the Owyhee Canyonlands to nearly the Idaho border. The journey took Shane through red-rock canyons\, over high alpine landscapes and across sagebrush plains. Shane will share his 34 days on the trail\, including the moments that made his heart soar and those that tested his spirit through what remains a wild\, largely undiscovered part of Oregon. \nThere will be time after the event to enjoy a beverage and chat with Shane. Space is limited. Please assist us by signing up in advance. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. \nONDA’s High Desert Lecture Series offers the chance to learn more about Oregon’s high desert from experts. The next talk is slated for April 7: Stu Garrett\, co-founder of the local chapter of the Native Plant Society of Oregon\, will talk about high desert wildflowers\, just in time for hiking season.

SUMMARY:Energy Trust of Oregon Presents: Deep Retrofits on Historic Projects
DESCRIPTION:Join Energy Trust for the beginning of the 2015 Allies for Efficiency training series. The training will cover design and construction best practices for deep energy retrofit projects\, including a case study on the Vestas building itself. Following the training\, Energy Trust will host a catered reception\, and Vestas staff will be available to provide building tours. Professionals taking this training are eligible for 2.5 AIA LU/HSW and LFA continuing education credits. \nIn addition to the live event in Portland\, Energy Trust will host group webinars throughout Oregon. Attendees can gather in Salem\, Bend\, Medford or Eugene to watch the live presentation with an Energy Trust representative facilitating questions. \nPresenters:\nMitch Dec\, Principal\, Glumac\nSteve Clem\, Vice President of Preconstruction\, Skanska\nRenee Loveland\, Sustainability Manager\, Gerding Edlen\nSabine O’Halloran\, Principal\, Ankrom Moisan\nVanessa Benedetti\, Office Services Manager\, Vestas \nCourse Description:\nDeep retrofits go well beyond a system-by-system approach to existing building equipment upgrades. They require a holistic building redesign that incorporates infrastructure\, mechanical and electrical systems\, building skin\, renewable energy\, and energy analysis and management. Unlike new construction projects\, deep retrofits have the added complexity of working through constraints inherent in the existing structure that designers and contractors must resolve. \nThis course will present how the owner\, developer\, design teams\, and general contractor approached the conversion and deep retrofit of the former Meier & Frank warehouse into a high-performance office building that serves as the North American headquarters for Vestas. The project is LEED® Platinum certified and has achieved an Energy Star score of 99 through post occupancy energy analysis verification.
