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.

AE professionals are uniquely positioned to innovate and lead, yet they often find themselves bogged down by their day-to-day demands. In a world where the traditional work model is becoming obsolete, it's time to rethink how you approach your professional life. This webinar is designed to empower AE professionals by introducing them to innovative strategies and tools that can revolutionize their work habits, increase productivity, and enhance overall job satisfaction. Inspired by Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek, this session will focus on practical applications within the AE industry, highlighting how to optimize workflows, delegate effectively, leverage technology, and create a more balanced, fulfilling professional life. Applying these principles will enable you to “work smarter, not harder,” transforming your firm into a well-oiled machine that runs efficiently and profitably, freeing you up to focus on your passion. It's time to treat your firm as your greatest project and use your design skills to create a business that supports your dreams and aspirations!

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.

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.
