SUMMARY:Embodied Carbon 101: Certifications + Commitments—A Deeper Dive
DESCRIPTION:Learn to evaluate and leverage certifications and commitments for the greatest impact. \nTake a closer look at how embodied carbon is incorporated—or will be incorporated—into sustainability programs for the industry and how carbon-thoughtful design is streamlined or incentivized through these programs. 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.

SUMMARY:Technology + Cities: Reshaping the Urban Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Technological advances are rapidly changing the urban environment and how we interact with it. From smart infrastructure to energy and transportation\, architectural design must adapt to support and advance new and developing technologies. Concurrently\, urban architecture is tasked with the goals to be human centered\, inclusive\, and equitable. \nThe movement of major tech companies to cities can have a large impact on the community. While providing jobs\, revenue sources\, and improved infrastructure\, it creates a challenge in the development of public spaces featuring human centered design. This unique convergence of technology and design is exemplified in the design of Virginia Tech’s Innovation Campus Academic Building One. Universities\, as the cornerstone of communities\, provide unique opportunities to shift the workforce to enhance technology within a framework sustainability\, resiliency\, and equity. Academic Building One\, through its design process\, is a model for transforming and improving civic and community infrastructure. \n  \nJoin us for a presentation and discussion on how Virginia Tech’s Innovation Campus Academic Building 1 is integrating technology into the urban environment in support of and service to humanity.

SUMMARY:Embodied Carbon 101: Certifications + Commitments—Overview
DESCRIPTION:Examine various aspects of certification programs including their incorporation of embodied carbon considerations. \nOur built environment is not as sustainable\, healthy\, safe\, equitable or inclusive as it needs to be. 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.

SUMMARY:Combining Design and Function in Today’s ADA Compliant Bathroom
DESCRIPTION:Offered and presented by Schluter Systems L.P. \nMandated requirements for ADA compliancy and demand from an aging population are creating a growing need for barrier-free bathrooms. Today’s ADA compliant bathroom no longer has to be utilitarian or “institutional” in its design. Design options are enhanced through the use of tile and innovative construction methods. The result is beautiful bathrooms that also adhere to ADA standards for accessible design. \nLearning Objectives\n– How barrier-free environments can be customized to include various design elements while remaining ADA compliant.\n– Why bonded waterproofing technology lends itself to the construction requirements of barrier-free design.\n– The principle of uncoupling\, its functions\, and history.\n– The evolution of tile setting techniques along with the benefits and limitations of each stage of development. \nPresented by Gustavo Tovar\, Schluter Systems L.P.\nArchitectural Manager\, Mid Atlantic \nSCHLUTER SYSTEMS L.P.\nProvider # : J360\nCourse: SCHL5A \nOrganized by AIA Northern Virginia \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Women in Green: Rising Collective

Rising Collective reflects on the spirit of togetherness\, of unity and the value of partnership during arduous times. At Women in Green\, we’ll use our collective voice to help strengthen our work in an effort to rise farther\, faster. USGBC is committed to doubling down on these concepts to help create a better\, more equitable road ahead. \nIn its 11th year\, Women in Green provides a space for leaders who are shifting the narrative on empowerment\, access\, and impact. We will gather female leaders for powerful discussions and networking that remind us that each of us is a person of great influence. \nFeatured Speakers: \n\nPhoebe Crisman\, Professor of Architecture\, University of Virginia\nGeorgie Márquez\, Owner\, Andre Marquez Architects\, Inc.\nAdditional speaker to be announced.\n\nModerator: \n\nSharlyn Thacker\, Chapter Administrator\, Virginia Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID)\n\nA 20% Student/Emerging Professional discount is available upon request\, please reach out to events@usgbc.org to get your promo code. \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Architects Speak Up! 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? Sign up today to be part of Architects Speak Up! 2022.

SUMMARY:A Jewel in Appalachia
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Richmond and AIA Northern Virginia for a jointly held virtual event on the award-winning short film “A Jewel in Appalachia” about the transformation of the Lawrence County Public Library. The film was awarded people’s choice in the 2022 AIA Look Up Film Challenge. You will hear directly from the projects architect and filmmakers from OPN Architects and Library Director Carlie Pelfrey about the importance of this transformative project to eastern Kentucky. \nLouisa is the small-county seat of 2\,327\, in Kentucky’s largest county. It’s a place of scarcity\, where the per capita income $12\,008 and 30% of the population lives below the poverty line. The original 1960s Lawrence County Public Library\, with limited windows and collection space\, high shelves\, hidden and inadequate seating and storage\, could not deliver on the library board and director’s promise to be a beacon for learning in a place where light can struggle to break through poverty’s pervasive darkness. They were committed to a process and a promise for a renovation that would create an epicenter for the county; embrace justice\, equity\, and care; address challenges head on; highlight access and opportunity; and most importantly celebrate the belief that a modern library can thrive anywhere. The renovated library\, which opened in February 2020\, manifests this mission. It is transparent\, accessible\, flexible\, easy to navigate\, promotes digital literacy\, and is welcoming and inclusive to all ages. The library is prideful without being ostentatious. It is now a place where a love for learning is on display\, showing residents that they deserve to aspire for better. The Lawrence County Public Library is an act of love. \nEarn 1 AIA LU \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Lighting WELL
DESCRIPTION:Lighting and the WELL Building Standard \nWe know how to design environments that fuel our bodies\, keep us moving\, inspire our best work and facilitate a good night’s sleep. The Well Building Standard endeavors to provide an evidence-based process to validate an approach to design for environmental health and well-being. This seminar explores methods to achieve health and well-being in the Light Concept of the 2019 Well Buildings Standard version 2.0 as it pertains to both electric and daylighting sources. We spend more than 90% of our lives indoors. Studies show strong links between better views\, brighter light and better performance in office environments. The Light Well Concept promotes exposure to light and aims to create lighting environments that are optimal for visual\, mental\, and biological health. Discover how the standard supports circadian stimulus\, hormone levels and the sleep-wake cycles of occupants derived through scientific and medical knowledge to promote alertness\, better performance\, and better sleep quality while potentially reducing obesity\, diabetes\, depression\, breast cancer\, sleep disorders and more. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU \nRegister online.
