Code Breaker: Solar, Battery & Zero Net Carbon Design — 2022 Energy Code

Virtual

Solar and battery requirements have evolved over the past decade in the California energy code. We will cover 2022 code requirements for all occupancies of buildings at a high level in a short 1-hour introduction to solar and battery for Single-Family, Multifamily, and Nonresidential buildings.We will use examples to illustrate how much is required, exceptions, and Zero Net Carbon Design concepts and give previews of longer Energy Code Ace offerings on renewable energy.*This will be the final session in the Climate Action Track for Credit Cram 2023Why it's important:Be compliant, stay updated with the 2022 Energy Code. Specifically in this course, architects and design professionals will learn the new solar and battery requirements for all occupancies and how they can support ZNCD.

Credit Cram | Transformational Equity in the Built Environment: The Regeneration Process

Virtual

Join AIA California’s Urban Design Committee for a panel discussion embracing embodied carbon strategies at the intersection of human justice, professional practice, and urban design principles for our livable communities. This panel will discuss the questions and opportunities of choice for our resilient cities and inclusive urban environments while exploring the concept of embodied justice and how we practice transformational cultural awareness. In a time with increasing challenges perpetuated by environmental and socioeconomic inequities, cities are looking to implement more regenerative urban strategies that replenish resources faster than we consume through circular economies. This panel discusses adaptable tools and methods used across California to strengthen our cities and restore communities separated by policy and infrastructure systems.Moderator: Maria Katticaran, AIA, LFA | Architect & Urban Designer, HDR Kevin Tyrrell, AIA | Partner, QDG Architecture Speakers: Leslie Sydnor, AIA, LEED AP | Director, Public Project Management, Cumming; 2023 AIALA President Marcela Oliva | Professor of Architecture and Environmental Design, LATTC Jess Zimbabwe | Executive Director, Environmental Works Community Design CenterWhy it's important:This program will explore data, metrics and strategies in addressing equity, resiliency, and sustainability in communities. Creating opportunities and spaces for diversity and inclusion, focusing on sustainability and building resiliency can promote equity, address carbon emissions and maintain safety of buildings in the event of disaster or severe weather events.https://youtu.be/mAzGcNi9Jk0 Additional Resources Additional Resources Full Presentation_ Townhall 10 Transformational Equity
