SUMMARY:Biophilia in the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: \nSimon Turner | Founder\, Building Cognition LLC \nOrlane Panet | Co-founder\, Micro Habitat \nVicki Worden | President & CEO\, Green Building Initiative \nScience shows that people benefit from daylight\, views\, and natural ventilation. Today”™s technologies allow architects to incorporate biophilic design into building design as part of their net zero carbon design goals and project requirements. \nAs part of this presentation\, a set of case studies will be used to illustrate how architects can design indoor-outdoor elements into their projects\, in both new construction and adaptive reuse of existing buildings. These examples will show how integrating biophilic components can improve the quality of life for inhabitants\, increase connection to nature\, reduce operational energy demands and lower embodied carbon levels. \nhttps://youtu.be/n4LnhafX6yk		 \n\n									Additional Resources\n									Additional Resources \nFull Presentation_Biophilia in the Workplace

SUMMARY:Project Delivery: Modular Construction and ARC Start-up Firms
DESCRIPTION:Prefabrication\, modularization\, offsite and industrialized construction are increasingly being used as strategies to address mounting supply chain challenges\, labor shortages\, and escalating costs. The market for factory-based construction continues to raise in the U.S.\, especially in muti-family housing\, as developers seek alternatives to conventual delivery models. The approaches are also evolving. This type of construction changes the planning and procurement processes\, and therefore the scope of various projects team members. This webinar examines how the role of the architect is changing to meet the demand of offsite construction workflows. \nPresented by architecture academics and consultants at MOD X\, who are experts in offsite and modular construction\, the session will begin with a discussion of market drivers and an overview of modular systems. It will then shift to four personas or archetypes representing the roles architects are playing in this changing construction landscape. The personas will be illustrated with case studies of contemporary practicing design professionals in the U.S. who are leading the practice of offsite construction and leveraging its value in unique ways. Their stories characterize the offsite design sector and the role of design teams in the future of modular construction. \n\n										\n\n										\n				 \n\n									Additional Resources\n									Additional Resources \nLearning Objectives Slidedeck_Project Delivery

SUMMARY:Practice With Purpose
DESCRIPTION:William Leddy\, FAIA | Principal | LMS Architects \nRyan Jang\, AIA | Principal | LMS Architects \nHow can we redesign the practice of architecture to focus the transformative power of design on some of society”™s most urgent issues? \nToday\, our communities face overwhelming challenges\, including the accelerating climate emergency\, persistent social injustice\, chronic homelessness\, and the need for innovative educational environments that prepare young people for a resilient future. These are not discrete phenomena. They are inextricably linked in a combined ecological and societal emergency that cries out for creative\, integrated solutions. Architects are uniquely positioned to respond to this profound emergency. But to succeed\, the design values and practice of our profession must be rapidly transformed within the next decade. Architects must become creative agents of change\, providing the vision and expertise to lead our communities toward an equitable\, resilient\, zero carbon future for all. Business as usual is no longer viable. We must practice with purpose. \nThis session will offer practical strategies in the daily practice of architecture. What can one person do to address the great challenges of our time? Take collective action through design every day.  \nhttps://youtu.be/vuOHscTc3SM		 \n\n									Additional Resources\n									Additional Resources \nFull Presentation_Practice with Purpose

SUMMARY:U.S. Resiliency Council Seismic Grant Legislation
DESCRIPTION:Units: 1 LU/HSW (pending approval) \nSpeaker: \nEvan Reis | Executive Director\, Co-founder\, U.S. Resiliency Council \nDescription: \nAs many as 100\,000 apartment buildings in California\, which could house up to two million residents\, many lower income\, elderly or the disabled\, may have a dangerous seismic vulnerability known as a soft story. In June\, 2022\, CA Governor Gavin Newsom appropriated $250 million in grant funding in budget bill SB-189 to owners of 2-20 unit apartment buildings with soft stories\, to seismically retrofit them and make them safer for their residents. The US Resiliency Council was the sponsor of the bill and led the effort to establish a coalition of supporters unprecedented in its diversity. This course will describe the legislation\, how the USRC was able to successfully create the coalition of supporters and provide information about how the architectural community can benefit from the grant program. \n\nAdditional Resources\nAdditional Resources \nFinal Presentation_USRC \nQ&A Report_USRC

SUMMARY:Equity in Design: Architecture and Spatial Justice
DESCRIPTION:The creation of space is fundamental to the practice of architecture. Space is physical yet it is a social construct. As Edward Soja writes\, “space is socially produced and can therefore be socially changed”. In this webinar we will explore the concept of Spatial Justice – What does it mean? The spaces we inhabit can have negative as well as positive consequences on practically everything we do. Confronting social and economic inequality in our cities is a role for architects and architecture. Through new structures\, strategies and expanded models of practice architects can be an essential part of that process. \nEarn 1 LU for attending live. \nSpeaker: Paul D.

SUMMARY:Multifamily Envelope Requirements Under the 2022 Energy Code
DESCRIPTION:The 2022 Energy Code\, going into effect January 1\, 2023\, has new chapters devoted to multifamily occupancies. These chapters include new envelope requirements supporting multifamily buildings (along with other increased efficiency measures not discussed during this session). \nTopics we will explore include: the new requirements for opaque surfaces (walls\, roofs and ceiling)\, the new fire rating considerations\, and how Quality Insulation Installation (QII) applies to new multifamily buildings; increased fenestration efficiency including a new AW (Architectural Window) performance class and new area allowances; and the new air barrier design considerations and testing requirements and compliance options for new multifamily buildings and how they will impact the design professional”™s scope of work. We also will examine the performance method changes and how it might\, or might not\, allow the flexibility allowed in the past code cycles due to the major revisions by the Energy Commission in support the new multifamily requirements. In addition\, we will share how Energy Code Ace supports the design professional via their suite of classes\, resources and tools get up to speed on these new requirements. \nSpeaker: Gina Rodda | Principal/Owner of Gabel Associates\, LLC \n \n(Watching video recordings of past webinars does not give the opportunity to receive any AIA LUs / CE credit.)\n\nAdditional Resources\nAdditional Resources \nAIA CA 2022 Multifamily Handout

SUMMARY:Single Family Electrification Considerations and Requirements under the 2022 Energy Code
DESCRIPTION:With the 2022 Energy Code going into effect January 1\, 2023\, California is moving closer to meeting goals for carbon reduction\, grid harmonization and energy efficiency. Electrification\, photovoltaics\, and ever-increasing building efficiency measures are all tools utilized to help single-family construction achieve these goals. \nDuring this session\, we will review the electrification measures of the Energy Code and explore appliance choices\, such as space heating\, water heating\, cooktops and clothes dryers\, that can meet those measures taking into consideration installation criteria\, cost\, and fuel source; explore when the photovoltaics (PV) minimum requirements apply and how PV sizing should take into consideration these additional electric appliances and other electric loads of the home; discuss how battery storage allows the homeowner to store electric production from the PV system to utilize during peak use conditions and the Energy Code requirements when battery storage is not installed at time of construction. There is a lot of great information out there supporting electrification\, and we take a look at some of Energy Code Ace”™s favorites. \nSpeaker: Gina Rodda | Principal/Owner of Gabel Associates\, LLC \n \n \n(Watching video recordings of past webinars does not give the opportunity to receive any AIA LUs / CE credit.)

Certificate of completion will be provided to those who stay on and watch the webinar live. \nModerator:\nCarmen Suero\, Associate AIA — Principal with GPCO \nSpeaker:\nDavid Arkin\, AIA — Principal | Arkin Tilt Architects \nWhile reducing the operational carbon impacts of structures is important\, focus has turned to the impacts of material choices and construction itself ”“ the embodied carbon of a building from extraction\, processing\, and assembly of materials. This is especially important in California given the relatively low carbon intensity of our grid-supplied electricity. An all-electric\, grid-harmonized building will have low operational carbon emissions in California because of our electric grid”™s cleaner energy mix. Thus\, the need to shift focus toward embodied carbon. \nThe AIA 2030 Commitment”™s Design Data Exchange (DDx) added reporting of embodied carbon in 2021. In this session\, David Arkin outlines the basics of embodied carbon\, discusses materials that have low embodied carbon or store carbon\, and introduces a range of tools for measuring your project”™s kilograms of CO2 emitted per meter squared. Examples of carbon storing materials and the range of tools available for measuring embodied carbon will be shared. \nThe presentation will include challenges to answer questions regarding embodied carbon and climate impacts\, such as: ”˜Name the earth”™s five carbon sinks”™\, ”˜What process drives the sequestration of carbon in plants and soil”™\, and ”˜Other than wood\, what bio-based resources are potential carbon storing building materials”™\, to name a few. \n\nEarn 1.5 LU|HSW and 1.5hrs ZNCD MCE for attending live.\n\n\nAdditional Resources\nAdditional Resources \nPDF Presentation | Small Firm Carbon Basics: Why It”™s Important and How to Measure It

SUMMARY:Adaptive Reuse\, Efficient by Default: Projects with Embedded Energy Efficiency
DESCRIPTION:Did you miss this valuable Webinar? Scroll down to view the video. \n  \nSpeakers: Paul A. Mathew\, Ph.D. | Lawrence Berkeley National LaboratoryMegan Dougherty\, AIA\, LEED AP BD+C\, WELL AP\, Fitwel Amb. | Perkins EastmanStephanie Kingsnorth\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP | Pfeiffer PartnersHeidi Lubin | e6 Development \nDay | Date | Time: Wednesday\, August 31\, 2022 | 12:00 PM ”“ 1:00 PM \nAIA LUs: 1 LU / HSW \nDescription: There”™s a wide array of commercially available\, proven technologies to deliver deeper energy savings cost-effectively. The energy efficient integrated systems approach often requires significant expertise to ensure that they are designed\, integrated\, commissioned\, and operated effectively. Furthermore\, the customary practice of building energy retrofits is to treat such projects as standalone engineering projects\, which is often too disruptive to the building occupants and activities because they are not aligned with the real estate life cycle. \nA scalable approach to deploying energy efficient integrated systems in offices and schools by opportunistically incorporating them within adaptive reuse projects ranging from tenant fit outs to whole building renovations is more productive. We describe a suite of Integrated Systems Packages (ISPs) that are ”˜pre-engineered”™ to minimize expertise and effort required for implementation. Each ISP is tailored to a particular project scope\, such as tenant fit out\, equipment replacement\, whole building renovation\, etc. Each ISP is also pre-validated with respect to functionality and energy performance to reduce real and perceived risk. We review ISP toolkits which include template specifications and other resources. \nLearn More:What You Can Do Now: Incorporate Energy Efficiency into Tenant Improvement and Renovation Projects with Integrated Systems Packages \nEarn 1 LU|HSW and 1hr of ZNCD MCE for attending live. \nhttps://youtu.be/DI4P_fq2EM8\n									Additional Resources\n									Additional Resources \nPDF Presentation | Adaptive Reuse\, Efficient by Default: Projects with Embedded Energy Efficiency
