Induction Cooking: The All-Electric Kitchen of Today and Zero Net Carbon Design for Food ServiceWhen: April 12th, 2022 12-1pmUnits: 1 LU/HSWQualifies for Zero Net Carbon Design Mandatory Continuing Education. Certificate of completion will be provided to those who watch the webinar live.Moderator:Miranda Gardiner, Assoc. AIA, LEED Fellow, Fitwel Ambassador, EcoDistricts AP | SustainableDesign Leader | HKS  Speakers:Richard Young, Fe3 Director | Frontier EnergyChef Mark Duesler, Fe3 Consulting Chef | Frontier EnergyTo meet California’s net-zero-carbon goals, commercial and residential kitchens must transition towards all-electric cooking equipment and water heating. The all-electric kitchen, if properly designed, can save labor, reduce maintenance, increase kitchen comfort, and minimize any increase in utility costs.The Food Service Technology Center’s (www.fishnick.com) Richard Young will focus on all-electric kitchen design, induction cooking, and the challenges facing commercial kitchen electrification. Richard will touch upon how food service facilities have difficulty achieving onsite zero net energy, but how with electrification and participation in the offsite renewable energy program from a Community Choice Aggregator (or utility) they can achieve zero net carbon emissions for operational energy use.There will also be a live show-and tell on induction cooking and holding equipment from Fe3’s Consulting Chef Mark Duesler using a video feed from the Center’s demonstration space.Earn 1 LU|HSW and 1hr ZNCD MCE for attending live, or 1.25hrs ZNCD MCE for watching on-demand here.

Optimizing Facades to Achieve Better Daylit and High-Performance Spaces with Lower Embodied Carbon Date: 5/31/2022 Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm This session outlines key strategies to streamline design workflows and conduct performance analyses on façade designs to achieve better daylighting and EUI targets while lowering cost premiums and embodied carbon. We’ll also look at a case study example of an architecture firm that integrated an automated workflow to achieve LEED credits and reduce costs. https://youtu.be/_stoPbCSHfY (Watching video recordings of past webinars does not give the opportunity to receive any AIA LUs / CE credit.)
