This session qualifies for 1.5 LU/HSW and 1.5 hr Zero Net Carbon Design Mandatory Continuing Education (Live webinar attendees only).Don't miss your chance to attend, space is now limited for this webinar! Registration closes at 8am, Wednesday, September 18! 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.Moderator: Tian Feng FAIA, FCSI | District Architect, San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District Speakers: Yvonne Castillo, Esq. | Sr. Vice President, Director of Risk Management & Global ESG Chair Amanda Barton, AIA RID NCARB, LEED AP BD+C, WELL AP | Project Designer + Associate, HKS Josephine Hsu, AIA LSSYB | Architecture Job Captain Forum Sammy Shams, AIA NCARB, LEED AP BD+C, WELL AP, Fitwel Ambassador, LFA | Resilience, Sustainability & Building Performance, HKS Ana Moura-Cook, PE | Project Manager for Climate Resilience, Arup Alum Andreanna Tzortzis, PE | Associate, Arup Additional Resources Additional Resources Full Presentation_Resilience and The Evolving Standard of Care Series Part 1Resilience Resource Links

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.

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.
