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
This course will focus on the strategies used in the renovation and seismic retrofit of two significant buildings on UCLA’s campus designed by Paul Revere Williams, FAIA. Participants will learn how these mid-century buildings have been transformed to support modern research and teaching and the structural techniques used to strengthen them while retaining their character defining features. The course will also cover UCLA’s approach to sustainability and the systems and features incorporated into the projects that reduce energy usage and achieve Platinum Level LEED Certification.Speakers:Todd Lynch, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP BD+C | UCLA / Shana Scheiber, PE, CEM, LEED AP ID+C, WELL AP | Affiliated Engineers / Benjamin Bye, Senior Associate | CO Architects, Phillip White, AIA, LEED AP BD+C | CO ArchitectsUnits:Earn 1.5 LU|HSW for attending live, or 1.75hrs LU|HSW on-demand here.
