CALGreen Embodied Carbon Series: Implications of Material Procurement for Design Professionals

Virtual

This session qualifies for 1 LU/HSW and 1 hr Zero Net Carbon Design Mandatory Continuing Education. (Live webinar attendees only) The CALGreen Embodied Carbon series is a joint educational program between the SEAOC Sustainable Design Committee and AIA CA. This educational webinar addresses the code changes adopted by the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) on August 2, 2023, focusing on reducing embodied carbon emissions in large-scale building construction projects. Understanding these changes is crucial, as compliance becomes mandatory starting July 1, 2024. Structural engineers and architects play a pivotal role in implementing these requirements effectively, shaping the future of sustainable construction. This session will focus on implementation of the Prescriptive pathway which relies on Environmental Product Declarations for materials and lowering embodied carbon through material selection and procurement. The presentation will be a roundtable discussion facilitated by industry experts from AIA CA and SEAOC who will be joined by contractors and manufacturers responsible for meeting the prescriptive performance requirements by material. Discussion topics will include collaboration between design and construction teams, supply chain engagement, specifications, and practical examples.

Study Hub: Project Planning & Design (PPD)

Virtual

Project Planning & Design (PPD) focuses on the preliminary design of sites and buildings. You should be able to demonstrate an understanding of and abilities in design concepts, sustainability/environmental design, universal design, and other forms of governing codes and regulations. Speaker: Elif Bayram Elif Bayram is the founder of arequestions.com, a specialized platform committed to offering comprehensive practice materials for the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) Architectural Registration Examinations (ARE). Ms. Bayram's academic credentials include a Bachelor's degree in Architecture obtained from Selcuk University, Turkey in 2008, followed by a Master's degree in Architectural Design at Istanbul Bilgi University in 2010. During the course of her own preparation for the ARE exams, she identified a scarcity of adequate practice material, which led her to create her own collection of questions to complement her studies. Over time, her library expanded to over 1100 questions, which she began to share with her colleagues and friends. Encouraged by the positive feedback from the architectural community, Ms. Bayram brought arequestions.com to fruition in late 2020, extending her invaluable resources to the wider ARE candidate community. In her endeavor to deliver a comprehensive learning experience, Elif Bayram does not limit her offerings to practice questions. She also provides extensive video lectures on various ARE topics and holds regular interactive sessions on Zoom, aimed at guiding licensure candidates. Moreover, she shares her knowledge through free, one-on-one meetings with candidates, free presentations on diverse subjects, such as strategies to successfully pass the ARE examinations, structural systems and more. Since early, 2022, Elif works full time for her company and works on increasing the content of her platform continuously.
