Have you ever wondered what a sustainability director does? On March 12, join RECORD and three sustainability directors—all from highly regarded architecture firms—to find out. The panelists will discuss how they collaborate with clients and colleagues to set performance goals, how they shape the design process, and how they keep projects on track. Speakers will also outline the career paths that brought them to their current leadership roles. Hosted by Architectural Record
SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO OF THIS SESSION 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 4-part webinar series addresses the green building 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 second session will focus on implementation of the Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (WBLCA) compliance pathway. The presentation will be led by industry experts who will cover basic practices, available tools and resources, and practical considerations for practitioners. Topics will range from an introduction to the fundamentals of WBLCA, essential practices in material quantity takeoffs and application of environmental product declarations, compliance tools and resources, setting an effective baseline, the landscape of common reduction strategies, and practical case study examples.

Speaker: Ben Norkin About Our Speaker: Creator of Hyperfine and Principal at Ben Norkin Architecture, Ben is a licensed Architect, teacher, student, parent, and a Navy veteran. From designing contemporary net-zero-ready homes to humble residential additions; from completing a Master’s thesis to A.R.E. exams, Ben has picked up a lot over the last five years and is excited to be able to share it with others. Ben teaches architecture as well, and he always stresses to his students that he is just like they are…only a few years into the future.
Host: Katie Ackerly, AIA - Common Application Jury Chair *** Early Bird Registration for the AIA California Design Awards Ends 03.22.24 Register Here *** This year AIA California is hosting a webinar to review the Common Application. Come join the us as we review the form in depth, answer questions, and discuss common mistakes caught by the Common Application Review Jury. The Common App for Design Excellence is an Excel-based tool, originally conceived of and developed by Corey Squire, AIA; Helena Zambrano, AIA; and Anne Schopf, FAIA; and others. The tool is intended to help streamline sustainability reporting for AIA design awards. Since its inception, more than two dozen Design Awards Committees at the state and local level have adopted the Common App as part of the submission requirements for their chapter’s design awards. Over the past year, the COTE Network Common App Subcommittee has refreshed the Common App to improve consistency with the AIA Framework for Design Excellence and to enhance user functionality. - AIA COTE Network If planning to submit for the AIA California Design Awards, please look over the Common Application prior to the webinar and prepare questions to ask the panelists.

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.

This course addresses the urgent need for widespread adoption of sustainable architectural practices by covering essential topics such as building energy modeling and passive design strategies. It aims to impart a deep understanding of how to integrate sustainability into every aspect of the design process to lower energy use intensity (EUI), reduce carbon footprints, and allow firmwide adoption of sustainable practices to optimize project outcomes, without the overhead costs that come with it. Participants will explore innovative methodologies to create buildings that are environmentally responsible and economically viable.

Let’s create inclusive spaces that uplift and empower all women in architecture. Let’s acknowledge the intersecting identities and experiences of women architects, including race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, and socio-economic backgrounds. Let’s consider the unique challenges and barriers faced by women from marginalized communities. Let’s gather for a conversation, sharing insights, expertise, success stories, and room for growth. We welcome you to spend your lunch hour on 4/29 to join the conversation!
