SUMMARY:ARE/CSE Statewide Study Hub: Construction & Evaluation (CE)
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. \nConstruction & Evaluation (CE) focuses on construction contract administration and post-occupancy evaluation of projects. You should be able to demonstrate an understanding of and abilities in construction contract execution\, construction support services (including construction observation and shop drawing or submittal review)\, payment request processing\, and project closeout. In addition\, candidates must also demonstrate an understanding and abilities in project evaluation of integrated building systems and their performance. \nHost: TBA \nInterested in joining our hub where you can ask questions\, connect with other members and access resources?

SUMMARY:Fire Response Session 6 | Legal Protections: Minimizing Exposure in Disaster Relief Work
DESCRIPTION:Scroll down to watch the video.\nThis session qualifies for 1 LU/HSW (live webinar attendees only). \nFREE registration for this webinar will close at 12pm PT on Tuesday\, June 17\, 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. \nIn response to the devastating recent fires in the Los Angeles region\, Architects across California have stepped forward to support the rebuilding process through volunteer and pro bono work. As these efforts grow\, so does the importance of understanding the legal and ethical responsibilities that come with them. This webinar\, a joint initiative by AIA Pasadena & Foothill and AIA California\, is designed to address the professional liability risks and obligations Architects face when providing voluntary services after a disaster. \nThis webinar will provide insight into how the standard of care is interpreted in non-traditional service arrangements\, along with key considerations related to self-certification practices in post-disaster recovery projects. This session is intended to offer essential information for protecting architects and their firm while delivering effective support to affected communities. \nModerator:\n\nAlex Atheson | Co-Founder\, President at The Foothill Catalog Foundation\n\nSpeakers:\n\nBrian K. Stewart | Attorney\, Collins + Collins LLP\nMark H.

SUMMARY:New LEED® v5 Resilience Assessments
DESCRIPTION:This session qualifies for 1.5 LU/HSW\, 1.5hrs ZNCD MCE and NEW – GBCI Credit for self-reporting! (live webinar attendees only). \nRegistration for this webinar will close at 10am PT on Wednesday\, June 18\, 2025. Registrants will receive their Zoom link no later than 10:30am PT the day of.  \nThe U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED v5 building rating and certification system provides architects and building owners a framework through which they can understand and manage their risk exposure following a natural disaster. LEED v5 includes important updates to transportation\, site\, energy\, materials\, and indoor environmental quality credits\, binging them into alignment with current best practice and technologies\, and also includes a new resilience assessment prerequisite and credits rewarding resilience and building design features. \nThese updates will support the understanding that buildings should be designed to support occupant health and safety during and after hazard events\, reduce the risk of damage from natural hazards\, and prepare for projected climate change over the course of their service lives. In this session\, we will define key resilience concepts\, outline the new resilience prerequisites and credits in LEED\, and discuss the role of owners and project teams in successfully implementing these requirements. \nSpeakers:  \nGail Napell\, AIA\, LEED AP BD+C | Architect and Citizen at Large \nAlan Scott\, FAIA\, LEED Fellow\, LEED AP BD+C\, O+M\, CEM\, WELL AP | Director of Sustainability\, Building Science Solutions at Intertek \nKarema Enos | Associate Director\, LEED Technical Development\, USGBC
