Climate Action- Embodied Carbon in Construction and the Contractor’s Role

When: Thursday October 20, 2022 12pm – 1pmUnits: 1 LU/HSW (pending approval)Qualifies for Zero Net Carbon Design Mandatory Continuing Education. Certificate of completion will be provided to those who stay logged in and watch the webinar live.Speakers:Moderator:Suyama Bodhinayake, Associate AIA, LEED Green Associate | BAUER ArchitectsSpeakers:Tolga Tutar CEM | LEED AP® BD+C | LEED AP® ID+C | TRUE Advisor | SustainabilityDirector – Green Project SolutionsMark Chen, Sustainability Manager | SkanskaEmbodied Carbon, or the carbon emissions associated with building materials and construction, account for at least 39% of energy-related global carbon emissions on an annual basis. Unlike operational energy, embodied carbon can’t be reduced over time as these emissions are released into the atmosphere before a building is constructed. Therefore, embodied carbon must be addressed before building and tenant space fit-out construction begins when the materials are selected or purchased. This session will explore some of the key strategies to reduce embodied carbon in construction projects, discuss General Contractors’ role in addressing embodied carbon and consider how embodied carbon affects project work and collaboration across project team members.Earn 1 LU|HSW and 1hr ZNCD MCE for attending live.https://youtu.be/Dc5auY4M3Vc Additional Resources Additional Resources Combined Presentation_EC in Construction and Contractor’s Role

Multifamily Envelope Requirements Under the 2022 Energy Code

The 2022 Energy Code, going into effect January 1, 2023, has new chapters devoted to multifamily occupancies. These chapters include new envelope requirements supporting multifamily buildings (along with other increased efficiency measures not discussed during this session). Topics we will explore include: the new requirements for opaque surfaces (walls, roofs and ceiling), the new fire rating considerations, and how Quality Insulation Installation (QII) applies to new multifamily buildings; increased fenestration efficiency including a new AW (Architectural Window) performance class and new area allowances; and the new air barrier design considerations and testing requirements and compliance options for new multifamily buildings and how they will impact the design professional’s scope of work. We also will examine the performance method changes and how it might, or might not, allow the flexibility allowed in the past code cycles due to the major revisions by the Energy Commission in support the new multifamily requirements. In addition, we will share how Energy Code Ace supports the design professional via their suite of classes, resources and tools get up to speed on these new requirements.

Selecting appropriate decentralized water strategies depends on a myriad of conditions such as building typology and use, regional regulatory climate, and site and watershed considerations. This session will share best practices from the perspective of a ‘One Water’ paradigm which seeks to unify often disparate water systems such as stormwater, wastewater, and water reuse.https://youtu.be/-S206LQxM04 Additional Resources Additional Resources Combined Presentation_ Building to Campus Scale: Water Strategies in a Changing Climate

Equity in Design: Architecture and Spatial Justice

Virtual

The creation of space is fundamental to the practice of architecture. Space is physical yet it is a social construct. As Edward Soja writes, “space is socially produced and can therefore be socially changed”. In this webinar we will explore the concept of Spatial Justice - What does it mean? The spaces we inhabit can have negative as well as positive consequences on practically everything we do. Confronting social and economic inequality in our cities is a role for architects and architecture. Through new structures, strategies and expanded models of practice architects can be an essential part of that process.Earn 1 LU for attending live.Speaker: Paul D.

U.S. Resiliency Council Seismic Grant Legislation

Units: 1 LU/HSW (pending approval) Speaker: Evan Reis | Executive Director, Co-founder, U.S. Resiliency Council Description: As many as 100,000 apartment buildings in California, which could house up to two million residents, many lower income, elderly or the disabled, may have a dangerous seismic vulnerability known as a soft story. In June, 2022, CA Governor Gavin Newsom appropriated $250 million in grant funding in budget bill SB-189 to owners of 2-20 unit apartment buildings with soft stories, to seismically retrofit them and make them safer for their residents. The US Resiliency Council was the sponsor of the bill and led the effort to establish a coalition of supporters unprecedented in its diversity. This course will describe the legislation, how the USRC was able to successfully create the coalition of supporters and provide information about how the architectural community can benefit from the grant program. https://youtu.be/JBlQnPTm-pw Additional Resources Additional Resources Final Presentation_USRC Q&A Report_USRC

Practice With Purpose

Virtual

William Leddy, FAIA | Principal | LMS ArchitectsRyan Jang, AIA | Principal | LMS ArchitectsHow can we redesign the practice of architecture to focus the transformative power of design on some of society’s most urgent issues?Today, our communities face overwhelming challenges, including the accelerating climate emergency, persistent social injustice, chronic homelessness, and the need for innovative educational environments that prepare young people for a resilient future. These are not discrete phenomena. They are inextricably linked in a combined ecological and societal emergency that cries out for creative, integrated solutions. Architects are uniquely positioned to respond to this profound emergency. But to succeed, the design values and practice of our profession must be rapidly transformed within the next decade. Architects must become creative agents of change, providing the vision and expertise to lead our communities toward an equitable, resilient, zero carbon future for all. Business as usual is no longer viable. We must practice with purpose.This session will offer practical strategies in the daily practice of architecture. What can one person do to address the great challenges of our time? Take collective action through design every day. https://youtu.be/vuOHscTc3SM .elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-vertical .elementor-tabs-wrapper{width:25%;flex-shrink:0}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-vertical .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active{border-right-style:none}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-vertical .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active:after,.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-vertical .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active:before{height:999em;width:0;right:0;border-right-style:solid}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-vertical .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active:before{top:0;transform:translateY(-100%)}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-vertical .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active:after{top:100%}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-horizontal .elementor-tab-desktop-title{display:table-cell}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-horizontal .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active{border-bottom-style:none}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-horizontal .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active:after,.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-horizontal .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active:before{bottom:0;height:0;width:999em;border-bottom-style:solid}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-horizontal .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active:before{right:100%}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-horizontal .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active:after{left:100%}.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-content,.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-title,.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-title:after,.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-title:before,.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tabs-content-wrapper{border:1px #d5d8dc}.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tabs{text-align:left}.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tabs-wrapper{overflow:hidden}.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-title{cursor:pointer;outline:var(--focus-outline,none)}.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-desktop-title{position:relative;padding:20px 25px;font-weight:700;line-height:1;border:solid transparent}.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active{border-color:#d5d8dc}.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active:after,.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-desktop-title.elementor-active:before{display:block;content:"";position:absolute}.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-desktop-title:focus-visible{border:1px solid #000}.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-mobile-title{padding:10px;cursor:pointer}.elementor-widget-tabs .elementor-tab-content{padding:20px;display:none}@media (max-width:767px){.elementor-tabs .elementor-tab-content,.elementor-tabs .elementor-tab-title{border-style:solid solid none}.elementor-tabs .elementor-tabs-wrapper{display:none}.elementor-tabs .elementor-tabs-content-wrapper{border-bottom-style:solid}.elementor-tabs .elementor-tab-content{padding:10px}}@media (min-width:768px){.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-vertical .elementor-tabs{display:flex}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-vertical .elementor-tabs-wrapper{flex-direction:column}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-vertical .elementor-tabs-content-wrapper{flex-grow:1;border-style:solid solid solid none}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-view-horizontal .elementor-tab-content{border-style:none solid solid}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-alignment-center .elementor-tabs-wrapper,.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-alignment-end .elementor-tabs-wrapper,.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-alignment-stretch .elementor-tabs-wrapper{display:flex}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-alignment-center .elementor-tabs-wrapper{justify-content:center}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-alignment-end .elementor-tabs-wrapper{justify-content:flex-end}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-alignment-stretch.elementor-tabs-view-horizontal .elementor-tab-title{width:100%}.elementor-widget-tabs.elementor-tabs-alignment-stretch.elementor-tabs-view-vertical .elementor-tab-title{height:100%}.elementor-tabs .elementor-tab-mobile-title{display:none}} Additional Resources Additional Resources Full Presentation_Practice with Purpose
