SUMMARY:Fire Response Session 5 | Wildfire Prepared Home Program: Improving Property Survivability and Insurability
DESCRIPTION:This session qualifies for 1.5 LU/HSW (live webinar attendees only). \nFREE registration for this webinar will close at 12pm PT on Wednesday\, May 28\, 2025. \nThe AIA in CALIFORNIA is responding to the recent southern California fires with a unified plan for response\, recovery and rebuilding for communities that were devastated by the disaster. This series of sessions will help the architectural profession understand the rapidly changing landscape\, the local issues facing communities\, and strategies for resilient design and disaster response; the AIA in California is connecting policy makers\, government officials\, and practitioners uniting architects in building a more just\, equitable\, and resilient future. \nIBHS is a non-profit research organization has spent years researching material and component vulnerabilities\, wind-driven ember ignitions\, and wind-driven building-to-building fire spread. Insights from these experiments have informed the Wildfire Prepared Home Program – a designation certification program that outlines a system of actions homeowners can take at the parcel-level to address a property’s roof\, building features\, and defensible space to meaningfully reduce its risk to wildfire ignition. \nThis session will walk attendees through the science conducted at IBHS’ Research Center in South Carolina\, along with post-disaster field investigations\, that have collectively identified the most vulnerable areas around the home that must be addressed. IBHS will discuss the two Wildfire Prepared Home designation level requirements and how each addresses ignitions from embers\, radiant heat\, and direct flame contact. IBHS is actively engaged in improving community-scale wildfire resilience through its recently launched Wildfire Prepared Neighborhood standard. This neighborhood-level operational framework includes the science-backed requirements of its Home-level program and incorporates additional requirements to address structure density\, the presence of connective fuels\, and building materials – the three pillars of wildfire conflagration. \nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Anne Cope | Chief Engineer\, IBHS\n\nRoy Wright | President and CEO\, IBHS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick to view the Full Presentation

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

SUMMARY:ARE/CSE Statewide Study Hub: PPD & PDD
DESCRIPTION:Study Hub is AIA California”™s pathway for emerging professionals to study and pursue licensure. These statewide ARE study sessions and virtual study groups serve as a hub for education\, connection\, and community. This portal does not replace other study materials or resources\, rather it supplements them\, serving as a network and allowing for collaboration between EPs and AIA professionals across California. \nThis year\, we’re streamlining your study experience by grouping commonly paired exams together. \nProject Planning & Design (PPD) focuses on the preliminary design of sites and buildings. You should be able to demonstrate an understanding of and abilities in design concepts\, sustainability/environmental design\, universal design\, and other forms of governing codes and regulations. \nProject Development & Documentation (PDD) focuses on the integration and documentation of building systems\, material selection\, and material assemblies into a project. You should be able to demonstrate an understanding of and abilities in integration of civil\, structural\, mechanical\, electrical\, plumbing\, and specialty systems into overall project design and documentation. \nHost: TBA \nInterested in joining our hub where you can ask questions\, connect with other members and access resources?

SUMMARY:Digital Twins: Integrating Resilience in Architectural Projects
DESCRIPTION:This session qualifies for 1.5 LU/HSW (live webinar attendees only\, pending AIA approval). \nRegistration for this webinar will close at 10am PT on Tuesday\, September 30\, 2025. Registrants will receive their Zoom link no later than 10:30am PT the day of.  \nBuilding occupants have higher expectations for the indoor environments they occupy. 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
