EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE JULY MEETING
AIA California Office 1931 H Street, Sacramento, CA, United StatesThis is a virtual meeting.
This is a virtual meeting.
Study Hub is AIA California’s pathway for emerging professionals to study and pursue licensure. These statewide ARE study sessions and virtual study groups serve as a hub for education, connection, and community. This portal does not replace other study materials or resources, rather it supplements them, serving as a network and allowing for collaboration between EPs and AIA professionals across California. Project Development & Documentation (PDD) focuses on the integration and documentation of building systems, material selection, and material assemblies into a project. You should be able to demonstrate an understanding of and abilities in integration of civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and specialty systems into overall project design and documentation. Speaker: Diane Zoura, AIA
Throughout this webinar, the AIA California College of Fellow Regional Representatives will go into a detailed explanation about the process of applying for Fellowship and what steps are needed as members develop their portfolio. Once they are finished reviewing the steps necessary to apply for Fellowship, they will host a live Q&A and panel discussion for the audience to ask their candid questions about Fellowship. Robert L. Ooley, FAIASouthern CA-Regional Rep.Bio Michael Enomoto, FAIASouthern CA-Regional Rep.Bio Joyce Polhamus, FAIANorthern CA-Regional Rep.Bio Aaron Hyland, FAIANorthern CA-Regional Rep.Bio
California’s 2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24, Part 6 or the Energy Code) requirements for outdoor lighting wattage allowances and controls depends not only on building type, but also scope of work (such as New Construction versus Alterations). In this one-hour presentation, we will review outdoor lighting requirements for single-family, multifamily, nonresidential, hotel and motel building types of all applicable scopes of work and what compliance documentation is required for each project type.

Want to prepare for the May 31st AIA CA Board meeting? Join your colleagues, Winston Thorne, AIA and Carina Mills, AIA for an open discussion of issues to be addressed during the Board of Directors meeting. They will share their strategy for preparing for the meeting and answer questions you may have about the agenda items. Please see the Board of Directors Basecamp site for this meeting's zoom link, where registration is not required.
2024: A Year of Stabilization and Reset. California’s economic performance has lagged national performance for the last few years – technology sector layoffs, regional banking crises, and the exodus of a significant portion of the workforce to other states have taken its toll. However, home sales are tentatively rebounding and the population grew in 2023, halting three years of decline. As California continues its path to economic recovery, this session takes a closer look at trends in construction and development, real estate supply and demand signals, emerging trends, and demographic shifts amidst volatility. We will also discuss what the future holds for different market sectors across the state.

Reuse and retrofit of existing buildings is a key climate action strategy. When these projects create new housing from underused or empty commercial buildings, it’s a win-win: Major embodied carbon benefits for greenhouse gas emission reductions Urban revitalization and economic development Housing in locations where it’s critically needed There are five different compliance paths that California architects have available for work on existing buildings. This program will provide a high-level overview of all code options, insights, and information to make an informed code choice. It will also provide a deep dive into the Work Area Methodology, new to California as of July 1, 2024. Join architect Michael F. Malinowski, FAIA for this fast-paced exploration of code choices and nuanced differences and learn about factors that can lead you to a code ‘best fit’ for your next existing building adventure. Note: This program targets design professionals with a basic familiarity of building code principles, terminology and the application of codes to building design. Speaker: Michael F. Malinowski, FAIA - President, Applied Architecture Michael F. Malinowski, FAIA | President | Applied Architecture
During this one-hour lunch and learn, we will discuss the best practices in modern school design, like utilizing good acoustics, daylighting and sustainability related to Roof & Floor Deck Ceiling Systems that you can use at your firm. The Art and Science of structural deck engineering discussed can enable a designer to create unique, visually open public spaces with responsible materials and unmatched acoustic. Attendees will learn - amongst other things - about the importance of good acoustical design, the benefits of natural daylighting and how acoustical metal deck ceiling systems can contribute, and the sustainability factors in acoustical metal deck ceiling systems specifically in the learning environment.

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.
