Roadmap to Absolute Zero Carbon

Virtual

This session qualifies for 1 LU|HSW (pending approval) and 1 hr Zero Net Carbon Design Mandatory Continuing Education. (Live webinar attendees only) As the urgency to address climate change and halt greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) continues to grow, designers have a responsibility to make smart design decisions to minimize their buildings’ GHG emissions. Even net zero energy, looking at operational energy over time, is no longer enough. We need to be absolute zero carbon, this means zero carbon in all aspects: operational, embodied, refrigerants, construction, infrastructure, and landscape. We need to design buildings that are zero carbon every day, from conception to operations. This session will discuss the roadmap to achieving Absolute Carbon including radically passive, all-electric design, adaptive reuse that is as good as new construction, 24/7 renewable energy, carbon sequestering materials, rehabilitating developed landscapes and serious attention to transportation. Moderator: David Moore, LEED AP BD+C, Environmental Designer, Atelier Ten               Speaker: Kristen DiStefano, LEED AP BD+C - Director, Atelier Ten, San Francisco

Don't miss out on this event that will give you a future view of the profession and be able to think and assist your clients from a strategic lens. Join in person in Los Angeles, livestreamed in San Francisco or, if travel funds or time are tight, join us through our virtual pass to watch from your desk or home office. Join us to hear from healthcare system leaders and other experts as we explore these topics…and more, on September 18, 2024!

Resilience and The Evolving Standard of Care Series: Integrating Resilient Design Into Your Architectural Projects

Virtual

This session qualifies for 1.5 LU/HSW and 1.5 hr Zero Net Carbon Design Mandatory Continuing Education. (Live webinar attendees only) Architects should be aware of changes in the industry standard of care, the role of codes and standards, and how courts view an architect’s responsibility in the context of worsening weather conditions. The AIA + HKS Tool Kit for Integrating Resilient Design into Architectural Projects provides basic components for integrating resilience with sustainability and net zero carbon design within a standard of care for architectural projects. A unique standard of care shapes the delivery of sustainable design and net zero carbon design in architectural projects from concept to completion, and can also impact risk management and project delivery. Join our panel as they shed let on the standard of care process and how to integrate resilience and sustainability in your projects.

Emerging Trends in Architecture: Harnessing AI for Embodied Carbon Reductions

Virtual

This session qualifies for 1 LU/HSW and 1 hr Zero Net Carbon Design Mandatory Continuing Education. (Live webinar attendees only) This lecture delves into the architectural industry’s environmental footprint, spotlighting the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a pivotal tool for designing sustainable buildings. Patrick Chopson, an expert in AI-driven sustainable design, will guide participants through the transformative potential of AI in optimizing architectural workflows. This includes automating complex carbon reporting tasks and improving client communications regarding environmental impacts. Through real-world case studies, participants will critically evaluate how AI applications can significantly enhance sustainability and operational efficiency within architectural practices. This course equips professionals with the knowledge and tools necessary to drive impactful climate action in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Moderator: Ismar Enriquez, AIA, LFA, LEED AP | Design Lead & Project Manager, Practice               Speakers: Patrick Chopson, AIA | Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer, cove.tool

Path to Zero Carbon

Virtual

This session qualifies for 1.5 LU/HSW and 1.5 hr Zero Net Carbon Design Mandatory Continuing Education (live webinar attendees only). The Path To Zero Carbon Series explores research and solutions for one of the most significant challenges of the 21st century. Addressing the climate crisis requires the building industry to reach carbon neutral design and construction across all projects. Our industry is responsible for nearly half of global warming, so our actions to reduce these emissions have a massive impact. Global warming is caused primarily by CO2e, but what do we need to know to have useful conversations on CO2e instead of just talking energy efficiency? What resources, policies, and frameworks are out there on embodied carbon operational carbon? This webinar will address these questions and more to understand the path forward to zero carbon.
