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. Registrants will receive their Zoom link no later than 10:30am PT the day of.  \nIssued by the Carbon Leadership Forum in 2021\, the Mechanical\, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) 2040 Challenge requires a set of commitments aimed at achieving total carbon emissions associated with building systems. 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

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

SUMMARY:The Climate-Forward Firm: Sustainable Architecture in Practice
DESCRIPTION:This session qualifies for 1 LU/HSW (live webinar attendees only\, pending AIA approval). \nRegistration for this webinar will close at 10am PT on Wednesday\, October 8\, 2025. Registrants will receive their Zoom link no later than 10:30am PT the day of.  \nArchitectural practices vary widely in size\, approach\, and perspective\, but what unites successful firms to positively shape the built environment and its inhabitants are the core values and principles that guide their decision-making and design processes. These foundational elements shape not only workplace culture\, but also the projects a firm undertakes\, client relationships\, the future of the profession\, and ultimately the lived experiences of the communities and individuals who inhabit built spaces. \nIn our new “Running a Practice” series\, AIA California explores how architectural firms are integrating three essential principles into their practice: \n\nEquity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion (EDI)\nClimate Action\nSupport for Emerging Professionals\n\nThis second session will offer insight into how firms of varying sizes approach Climate Action as a key value of their practice. Firms will discuss how they establish climate action goals early in the design phase\, what strategies they employ in achieving carbon reductions in their projects\, and share best practices and lessons learned to help other firms in their climate action journey. \nSpeakers:\nGwen Fuertes\, AIA\, LEED AP BD+C | Senior Associate\, Leddy Maytum Stacy Architects \nChris Hellstern\, AIA\, LFA\, LEED AP\, CDT | Living Building Challenge Services Director & Senior Architect\, The Miller Hull Partnership \nCarlos Augusto Garcia\, AIA | Associate Principal & Studio Director\, Brooks + Scarpa

SUMMARY:American Institute of Architects Los Angeles - Immigration Summit
DESCRIPTION:Immigration directly shapes the future of Los Angeles and our industry. Immigrants make up one-third of Angelenos\, drive innovation\, own nearly 11% of California’s small businesses\, and sustain entire sectors like construction—which would see a 16% GDP contraction without them. In architecture and design\, their perspectives fuel creativity and ensure projects reflect cultural realities. \nThe summit will feature two essential panels: \n·       The Value of International Students in Higher Education – highlighting their role in innovation and global competitiveness. \n·       Immigration\, Skilled Labor\, and Creative Outcomes in AEC – showing how diverse perspectives strengthen resilience and enrich creative outcomes. \nThis isn’t a political conversation—it’s an economic\, creative\, and civic one. We believe it’s vital for our community to come together around it.

SUMMARY:Rewriting the Fee Formula: A Smarter Model for Pricing Your Services
DESCRIPTION:Are you tired of watching your fees shrink as your expertise grows? Does it feel like the better you get at architecture\, the less money you make per project? You’re not alone—and you’re not stuck. \nThis webinar challenges the conventional wisdom of hourly and percentage-based fees that most AE firms have been trained to follow. This interactive webinar reveals a more powerful approach to pricing that aligns with the actual value you create for clients\, not just the time you spend or the construction costs you influence. \nIn this 50-minute session\, you’ll discover why traditional pricing models punish efficiency and reward inefficiency—and learn a proven framework for breaking free from the “efficiency penalty” that’s keeping your firm trapped in a race to the bottom. \nWhether you’re a firm owner looking to improve margins\, a principal tired of competing on price\, or an architect planning to start your own practice\, this webinar will fundamentally change how you think about your value and your fees. \nSpeaker\nSteve Burns\, FAIA | Founder | The Well-Designed Firm\nEarn 1 LU for attending live. \nFREE registration for this webinar\, brought to you by BQE\, will end at 12:00 pm PT on Thursday\, October 23rd. \nPresented by:

SUMMARY:The 60-Minute MBA for Architects
DESCRIPTION:Being a brilliant architect rarely translates into having a successful business. With all the years of education and training to make us experts in our profession\, the skills needed to have a successful business were conveniently overlooked. This webinar will fill the void and provide you with the business management highlights that every firm needs to apply to achieve their full potential. \nIn this session\, we will learn the fundamentals of all successful AE firms and provide the basis for making well-grounded business decisions. We will learn how firms can transition from being professionals providing services\, to highly tuned businesses that can identify the needs of the marketplace and create services and products that are appropriately priced and yield consistent and greater profits. \nRather than seeking out new projects that merely build upon your current skills\, you will start from a business-thinking mindset\, where processes that are critical to building a thriving firm are examined and constituted in your firm. We will explore the importance of data within an architect firm and demonstrate how careful collection and interpretation can lead your firm into more exciting and profitable territory. \nJoin us for an engaging\, live webinar presented by Steven Burns\, FAIA\, as he shares lessons learned over 35 years working with over 1\,300 architecture firms. \nSpeaker:\nSteven Burns\, FAIA | Founder | The Well-Designed Firm\nFREE registration for this webinar\, brought to you by BQE\, will end at 12:00 pm PT on Thursday\, December 4th. \n
