Scientific consensus has already established that increasing atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide—created by fossil fuels and energy production—is contributing to rising sea levels, intensification of weather-related events, and the degradation of natural resources. This course discusses the impact carbon emissions have on the planet and how buildings can influence greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon, to lower embodied carbon through more sustainable building products offering. We will learn about manufacturing transparency and the ability to compare embodied carbon values against a baseline and against similar products, which are critical to reducing embodied carbon.

How do we go about designing educational environments to be healthier and better for learning outcomes?
This presentation explores the tremendous opportunity that architects, designers, and educators hold in their hands. We look at rethinking what an educational facility should be and how the physical environment can be designed to have a positive impact on learning. It is time to start designing with our ears. We examine spatial strategies, performance benchmarks, and architectural testing methods that allow designers and architects to evaluate designs against industry guidelines for sound performance. We discuss the primary function of a room and explore noise level thresholds that have serious long-term implications on learning and health.

Buildings interact with the environment. People can identify glass as a barrier—birds cannot. Studies document bird and glass collisions. The solution to this issue is bird-friendly design.

Today, there is an ever-growing range of choices for specifying and designing with glass in building façades. The vast array of products brings unlimited ways for architects to express creativity and offer more innovative options to achieve energy goals. At the same time, every decision affects how the building ultimately looks and performs. With all the options available, how do you know which ones are right for your project?

Contract Administration Essentials is a one-hour course designed to empower architects with the skills needed to navigate the complexities of construction administration. This course is for architects, intern architects, architectural technologists, and project managers seeking to enhance.
This 1-hour introductory online course features leaders in inclusion and accessibility, and people with lived experience and will introduce you to accessibility and disability inclusion concepts. Available anytime, anywhere, this self-directed on-demand course will help you get started on your accessibility journey and begin to break down attitudinal barriers.
This 4-week online course will provide you with increased understanding of the needs of people with disabilities, the barriers to participation and how our physical spaces can be made more accessible. Enhance your knowledge of Universal Design and meaningful access in the built environment through case studies and be introduced to RHFAC methodology.
This 8-week online course trains built environment professionals to understand the needs of people with varying disabilities, and rate spaces from a human-centered perspective. Through the application of the RHFAC methodology, you will learn the practical skills needed to measure the accessibility of existing sites and incorporate a Universal Design lens to your projects.

As the focus on building energy performance continues to grow in many jurisdictions across North America, the interest in the Passive House standard is growing as well. For the uninitiated, this standard can seem daunting, especially when it comes to incorporating manufactured components, such as windows. But window configuration and calculations in Passive House projects dont have to be overwhelming.
Through a review of window materials and configurations, this presentation outlines options for meeting the Passive House standard, as well as opportunities to cost-optimize high-performance fenestration.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) calculations are increasingly crucial in designing environmentally sustainable buildings, meeting client demands, and reducing the overall environmental impact. They have become an integrated part of the AEC industries’ green transition.
How to Design and Build High-Performance Multi-Unit Buildings at the Lowest Possible Cost
“A Pattern Language from Passive House” is an interactive workshop that teaches cost-effective planning and design of affordable, low-emission, mid-rise, multi-unit, wood-framed housing."

DATE: OCTOBER 25 AT 12-1 P.M. (ATL)
As we get better at reducing the operational emissions of buildings, addressing their embodied carbon is becoming more important. So far, the focus in designing sustainable, low-carbon buildings is primarily on the building envelope and major systems. While finishes have a relatively small impact on the overall equation, they are still part of the puzzle.
This course covers the basic considerations to be aware of when specifying concrete countertops or other decorative precast elements, making it easier for architects to include concrete surfaces as a locally made, sustainable alternative to mass-produced mainstream materials.

Many North American jurisdictions are moving beyond ASHRAE performance requirements for exterior wall assemblies, shifting instead to a holistic, building energy performance standard (BEPS) approach. A line-item-by-line-item approach no longer yields the best results. Instead, component performance needs to be viewed across multiple facets to build high-performance exterior wall assemblies. This presentation discusses the impacts of thermal bridging on compliance with emerging building energy performance standards (BEPS), as well as ASHRAE.
