Standard of Care: A Decade of Passive House Projects in California
2023-09-27 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
The practice of ‘Passive House BB’ has been designing, building, and monitoring Passive House projects across California for more than a decade.
This presentation will provide a high-level review of that journey. It will touch on Passive House basics, then look at how this standard has been integrated into the processes and practices of this firm. A selection of single- and multi- family projects located across California will be used to illustrate specific targets, metrics and details, including early forays into embodied carbon analysis.
We’ll close with a brief discussion of ‘Standard of Care’, with a proposal for how architects can choose their own ‘standard of care’ to include outcomes well beyond the currently narrow legal definition of this term.

Credit Cram | AIA 2030 Commitment: How Medium and Small Firms Report and Track Project Data & What Comes Next
2023-11-15 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
Some architects are under the impression that the 2030 Commitment is only for large firms and that reporting is too difficult for small to medium-sized firms. To dispel that myth, this program will focus on two modest-sized firms that participate in the 2030 Commitment. Browning-Day is a medium-sized, regional firm in Indianapolis, Indiana. Feldman Architecture is a small firm in San Francisco and one of the 19 firms that achieved a portfolio-wide reduction of 80% in 2022.
Join Daniel Overbey, AIA, Director of Sustainability at Browning Day and Ben Welty, Sustainability Manager at Feldman Architecture, as they discuss the AIA 2030 Commitment”™s Design Data Exchange (DDx) and outline each firm’s lessons learned and best practices for setting project performance targets and subsequent portfolio-wide reporting for the DDx.

Speakers:
Ben Welty, AIA | Senior Associate, Architect, Sustainability Manager, Feldman ArchitectureDaniel Overbey, AIA LEED Fellow, WELL AP | Director of Sustainability and Associate Principal at Browning Day; Assistant Professor at Ball State University
Why it’s important:
The AIA 2030 Commitment is a commitment for firms to reduce energy use and carbon emissions. These reductions help better our environment and the planet, and also help change firm and practice culture to be aware of their impact on the environment and people who live in it. Encouraging small and medium sized firms to sign the commitment can lead to cultural changes and promote the health, safety and welfare of the environment and the public due to carbon reductions through higher performing buildings.

Strategizing for Success: How to Design and Procure Low Carbon Concrete
2023-11-30 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
The building industry is under constant pressure to provide low-carbon solutions. Traditional green building standards such as LEED started the movement, but more recent public policies have elevated the drive to low carbon building materials. Tackling the problem of embodied carbon, the emissions associated with building materials and construction, is crucial to meeting near term climate goals. This session will examine how early collaborative decision-making and the use of performance-based specifications can empower project teams to include embodied carbon targets alongside cost, performance, and schedule to create a holistic bidding and procurement process that supports sustainability goals. This session will also examine concrete specifications and how to influence them to allow for greater reduction in carbon footprint. Participants will be introduced to NRMCA”™s newly developed Concrete Carbon Calculator that helps set carbon budgets to include in specifications.
Why it’s important:
Sustainable and resilient concrete designs leverage optimized elements that work towards open, well-lit spaces that improve the physical, emotional and social well-being of occupants (Health). Such practices also encourage the use of higher quality materials, with improvements to durability and resiliency (Safety). Lastly, sustainable concrete is achievable with negligible impact to cost while benefiting the environment (Welfare).

2021 IEBC: Structure and Application (Online Live)
2024-01-24 12:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
Last year, California Building Standards Commission altered California”™s Title 24 Part 10 Existing Building Code (CEBC) by adding Chapters 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 of the International Existing Building Code (IEBC) into the 2022 CEBC.
What does this mean? Adding these chapters into the CEBC provides more pathways for compliance when working with existing buildings in California for occupancy changes.
The ICC has developed courses on these new-to-California chapters and compliance pathways for adaptive reuse projects.
ICC’s course 2021 IEBC: Structure and Application (Online Live) will provide an overview of the 2021 IEBC and the various methods of compliance available for existing buildings. This will include an emphasis on the intended scope and applicability of an existing building code. Emphasis will be placed on the similarities and differences between the Prescriptive and Work Area methods. In addition, the intended application of the work area method will be explored.
