Changing use patterns and dynamic outdoor conditions mean that static controls aren’t adequate to maintain healthy and comfortable indoor environments while also saving energy. Digital Twins can optimize performance based on multiple sensors and data sources derived from multiple sensors and provide fault detection if any of the sensors fail or fall out of calibration. \nA Digital Twin is a virtual representation of a real-world entity or process. It uses historic data and real-time observations to optimize system performance\, support proactive maintenance\, systems and information decisions. Digital Twinning involves a two-way digital communication channel that provides regular updates and intelligence to the virtual representation\, which then processes and interprets the data and presents it in actionable form to users\, thereby guiding optimization of the real-world entity. \nIn this webinar\, attendees will take a deep dive into Digital Twins and how they are being employed to promote design excellence and resilience. \nModerator:\nAlan Scott\, FAIA\, LEED Fellow\, LEED AP BD+C\, O+M\, CEM\, WELL AP | Director of Sustainability\, Intertek \nSpeakers:\nAmy Polvado | Chairwoman\, Founder and CEO\, Facilimax \nChikara Inamura | Director of Digital Technology\, CO Architects \nDr. David Jason Gerber | Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Practice and of Architecture\, University of Southern California URL:https://events.aiacalifornia.org/event/digital-twins-integrating-resilience-in-architectural-projects/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Climate Action ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://events.aiacalifornia.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Climate-Action-Webinar-Digital-Twins-1200x800-1.webp ORGANIZER;CN="Sarah Vasquez":MAILTO:svasquez@aiacalifornia.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250924T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250924T130000 DTSTAMP:20260424T053128 CREATED:20250818T193502Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250819T232633Z UID:10000362-1758715200-1758718800@events.aiacalifornia.org SUMMARY:ZNCD Webinar | The MEP 2040 Challenge and MEP Embodied Carbon 101 for Architects DESCRIPTION:This session qualifies for 1 LU/HSW (live webinar attendees only) and 1hr of ZNCD MCE. \nRegistration for this webinar will close at 10am PT on Wednesday\, September 24\, 2025.

This includes MEP embodied carbon. Architects can employ thoughtful and innovative design to reduce carbon in buildings\, but impacts of the systems installed add layers of embodied carbon left to be addressed. \nIn this webinar\, architects and design professionals will learn more about the MEP 2040 Challenge and its mission to rapidly reduce whole building carbon and MEP embodied carbon by 2040. We will review the Beginner’s Guide to MEP Embodied Carbon and dive into pilot projects of various building types\, climate zones\, HVAC system typologies\, and impacts of refrigerant emissions to demonstrate how architects can address these facets in their projects to reduce embodied carbon. \nSpeakers:\nHafsa Burt\, AIA\, LEED Fellow | Principal\, hb+a Architects \nBrian Johnson | Senior Project Engineer\, hok \nRachel Wrublik | Associate\, PAE \nRob Bolin\, PE\, LEED Fellow | Principal\, CMTA URL:https://events.aiacalifornia.org/event/zncd-webinar-the-mep-2040-challenge-and-mep-embodied-carbon-101-for-architects/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Climate Action ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://events.aiacalifornia.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Climate-Action-Webinar-The-MEP-2040-Challenge-1200x800-1.webp ORGANIZER;CN="Sarah Vasquez":MAILTO:svasquez@aiacalifornia.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250903T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250903T130000 DTSTAMP:20260424T053128 CREATED:20250730T174221Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250730T174221Z UID:10000358-1756900800-1756904400@events.aiacalifornia.org SUMMARY:ZNCD Webinar - Salvaged Lumber Reuse in Federal Center South DESCRIPTION:This session qualifies for 1 LU/HSW (live webinar attendees only) and 1hr of ZNCD MCE. \nRegistration for this webinar will close at 10am PT on Wednesday\, September 3\, 2025. Registrants will receive their Zoom link no later than 10:30am PT the day of.  \nAll things must come to an end – including buildings. But does everything at the end of a building’s life need to end? New construction and renovation projects continue to deplete vast quantities of resources\, many of which go to waste. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can build efficiently with sustainable products\, but reusing building materials salvaged from old structures is yet another way to decarbonize. \nEncouraging materials reuse reduce the amount of embodied carbon in our buildings and can help reduce waste from deconstruction. In this webinar\, we will explore a case study on salvaged lumber. Federal Center South in Seattle\, Washington includes reclaimed timber from a warehouse that previously occupied the site. Join us as we dive into the reuse strategies and sustainable design approaches seen in the project. \nModerator:\nAvideh Haghighi\, AIA | Deep Green Architect & Advocate\, Founder @ ZEROHOUZ \nSpeaker:\nAmie Sullivan\, PE\, SE | Managing Principal\, kpff URL:https://events.aiacalifornia.org/event/zncd-webinar-salvaged-lumber-reuse-in-federal-center-south/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Climate Action ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://events.aiacalifornia.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Climate-Action-Webinar-Salvaged-Lumber-Reuse-1200x800-1.webp ORGANIZER;CN="Sarah Vasquez":MAILTO:svasquez@aiacalifornia.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250625T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250625T130000 DTSTAMP:20260424T053128 CREATED:20250501T184811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250624T014849Z UID:10000345-1750852800-1750856400@events.aiacalifornia.org SUMMARY:Adaptive Reuse: Unlocking Sustainable Conversions DESCRIPTION:This session qualifies for 1 LU/HSW\, 1hr ZNCD MCE and NEW – GBCI Credit for self-reporting!
