The course begins with a look at the established AIA 2030 Commitment\, its success in addressing operational energy\, and its next iteration\, which will include embodied carbon. The AIA 2030 Commitment discussion is followed by an introduction to the SE 2050 Commitment\, which is an embodied carbon-focused commitment born out of the Structural Engineering Institute\, to be launched in November 2020. \nAfter looking at example commitments\, the course introduces the International Living Future Institute’s Zero Carbon Certification\, a relatively new certification that looks holistically at operational energy and embodied carbon. And\, following Zero Carbon\, the Passive House certification is introduced\, suggesting ways that practitioners can account for embodied carbon while pursuing this performance-focused certification. Through discussing four major industry sustainability programs\, this course will help practitioners to distinguish where embodied carbon is built into certifications and commitments\, and where embodied carbon considerations might need to be engineered into design and certification processes for holistic carbon reduction. AEC practitioners will receive the knowledge to evaluate and leverage certifications and commitments for the greatest impact. \nPresented by Virginia COTE with support from AIA Virginia’s Knowledge Community Grant program and the following sponsors: \nSILVER\nMafi \nBRONZE\nBamforth Engineers + Surveyors \nEarn 1.5 AIA LU|HSW \nRegister online.

As design professionals we have the ability to address the global climate crisis and influence health and well-being. Health is a growing concern for homebuyers\, designers\, and builders alike. Building professionals are not health professionals\, but we have more influence on people’s health than we may realize. We also have tools to help influence building systems and components which impact not only health\, but embodied carbon and operation carbon outputs. The course includes comparisons of Indoor airPLUS\, Enterprise Green Communities\, LEED for Homes\, Passive House\, Living Building Challenge\, WELL Building Standard\, Fitwel\, and the Active Design Guidelines. The course explores the benefits and drawbacks to using certification programs\, looks at the influence they’ve had on code\, and discusses their impact on our built environment—including the ways that embodied carbon considerations do or don’t factor into each program. \nPresented by Virginia COTE with support from AIA Virginia’s Knowledge Community Grant program and the following sponsors: \nSILVER\nMafi \nBRONZE\nBamforth Engineers + Surveyors \nEarn 1.5 AIA LU|HSW \nRegister online.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is the tool used to quantify the carbon footprint and other environmental impacts of a material or assembly. Presenters define the basic terminology related to LCA as well as summarize the process of life cycle assessment. Overall\, the course illustrates how the principles of carbon accounting can be applied to design and construction at all scales\, using the breadth of data and tools available. \nPresented by Virginia COTE with support from AIA Virginia’s Knowledge Community Grant program and the following sponsors: \nSILVER\nMafi \nBRONZE\nBamforth Engineers + Surveyors \nEarn 1.5 AIA LU|HSW \nRegister online.

Speakers discuss opportunities for carbon reduction at multiple project stages\, highlighting the importance of a collaborative design and project team (including client) for diverse construction practice types—including small design/build\, mid-size local firm\, and large international firm. They suggest strategies for incorporating embodied carbon reduction into everyday workflow—from the discrete (e.g. contracts) to the broad (workplace culture and commitments). Procurement is essential to the reduction of embodied carbon—ensuring what is specified for reduced carbon makes it into the project\, among other things. \nPresented by Virginia COTE with support from AIA Virginia’s Knowledge Community Grant program and the following sponsors: \nSILVER\nMafi \nBRONZE\nBamforth Engineers + Surveyors \nEarn 1.5 AIA LU|HSW \nRegister online.

It includes an introduction to resources for interior product information—including embodied carbon impacts as well as materials health. The course also looks at strategies for lower-carbon interiors\, including salvage and reuse\, research\, and goal-setting. \nPresented by Virginia COTE with support from AIA Virginia’s Knowledge Community Grant program and the following sponsors: \nSILVER\nMafi \nBRONZE\nBamforth Engineers + Surveyors \nEarn 1.5 AIA LU|HSW \nRegister online.

And what can be done to reduce the impacts? \nStructure accounts for a significant portion of a project’s embodied carbon.

Message Book Training DESCRIPTION:While there is great respect for architects\, there’s little understanding of what we do\, or how our work affects others. Architectural practice is constantly evolving. To move the profession forward\, architects must work together to understand each other and communicate our value. Using findings from extensive research the AIA conducted about the general public’s perception of architects and architecture\, this presentation will review proven messaging strategies\, the importance of the words you use\, and how to make your message resonate with legislators\, your clients\, and the public. It’s our job to help others understand what we do\, and more importantly\, why it’s important to them. \nRegister. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | Elective \nHaven’t registered for the full Architects Speak Up! program yet?

The drink is thought to have originated in Daiquiri\, Cuba\, the site of the first American landing during the Spanish American War. As the story goes: In 1909 the USS Minnesota made a routine visit to Guantanamo Bay\, Cuba and the commanding officer\, Captain Charles H. Harlow\, took a junior medical officer named Lucius Johnson on shore to tour the old battlefield. There\, on Daiquiri Beach\, they met a man named Jennings Cox (an engineer with the Spanish-American Iron Co.) who introduced them to the drink. Johnson carried the recipe home to the Army and Navy Club. (below is a scan of what is believed to be the original recipe which serves 6). \n\n \n \n \n \n Handwritten recipe\n \n \n \n \n \n Daiquiri at the Army Navy Club\n \n \n\nTake on the Original (serves 2-3): \nIce\n1 Cup Blanco Rum\n3 tbs.

People\, Planet\, and Prosperity. Racial\, Environmental\, and Social Justice. We have all heard about this three ­legged stool of Sustainability and never has it been more apparent – that all three legs are falling down. All three are undergoing a current crisis. All three pose a massive threat that disproportionately affects populations unjustly. We need to address and respond to these threats simultaneously with a road to recovery\, prevention\, and ultimately resilience by connecting the dots from people to planet. How are the architecture\, design\, and sustainable professions in Baltimore and across the country addressing these complex challenges? How can education environments be enhanced for better learning outcomes? How does the development of the pipeline impact diversity within the profession? \nSpeakers: \nLisa M.

This applies to not only major sources such as interstate highways\, airports\, and railways but to secondary streets in urban environments as well\, where buildings crowd closely to busy roadways. Understanding the fundamentals of noise\, noise regulations\, building shell design\, and implementation are key to creating quiet living spaces in close proximity to major and “minor” transportation noise sources. \nIt is our goal to educate residential building designers in the basics of transportation noise and in the fundamentals of outdoor to indoor noise control. Noise impact upon building occupants disrupts work\, sleep\, and leisure time which in turn adds stress\, fatigue\, and aggravation to daily life. Quiet environments promote good physical\, mental\, and spiritual health. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU|HSW \nRegister online.
