Gain insight to the benefits for occupants when buildings and sites move away from fossil fuels and as we decarbonize our industry
Gain insight on integration with city, county and state goals for more sustainable and resilient communities, allowing for improved user experiences, and social well-being for the community
Discuss interactions with private and public clients and how electrification requirements differ based on their specific goals for sustainability, affordability, well-being and human experiences
Learn from example projects on how to achieve client’s electrification goals, which benefit the environmental aspects of reducing GHG emissions

The AIA 2030 Commitment is an actionable climate strategy that gives us a set of standards and goals for reaching net zero emissions in the built environment. The latest climate data tells us that reducing carbon emissions is not enough. To make the biggest impact, we must all commit to net zero emissions by 2030—a path that requires strong, immediate action. Since the built environment creates a staggering 40% of the world’s emissions, architects, engineers, and owners play a key role.
Hear from architects representing a variety of firms about their experiences with the AIA 2030 Commitment, the challenges they have faced, how they’ve overcome these hurdles, and what the future looks like to achieve this lofty goal.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1) Participants will learn about the need for firms to join the AIA 2030 Commitment and what impact they can personally make in their careers

2) Participants will understand the requirements of the AIA 2030 Commitment and how this framework can be utilized by firms at every size and for every project type

3) Participants will identify and assess the common barriers to the AIA 2030 Commitment and collaboratively contemplate strategies to overcome these hurdles

4) Participants will create an action plan for their firm to join the AIA 2030 Commitment

A list of the various aspects of window replacement homeowners and architects need to balance will be considered and reviewed. Case studies will be shared to demonstrate how factors of rehabilitation and window replacement apply to residential historic projects. This Lunch & Learn is being offered in-person and virtually. Registration details below.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Identify research, planning and preparation needed for historic rehabilitation.
Evaluate conditions of the windows and the overall project goals to inform decisions to repair or replace.
Formulate best solution if windows are to be replaced.
Apply lessons learned from case studies where standards and guidelines were followed.

Session #1: Exterior Glass Doors: Improve Function, Performance and Well-Being in Residential Design
Single family residential home design no longer relies solely windows to bring daylight, views, and fresh air into the home. The use of exterior glass doors change the experience of the homeowner by contributing to healthier, more appealing spaces and strengthening the connection between indoors and out. These types of doors give architects almost unlimited design and performance choices. This course looks at the variety of exterior glass doors available, their design characteristics, performance considerations, and how they can impact well-being for residential customers.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Identify some of the current trends inspiring single family residential designs to incorporate the use of swinging and sliding exterior glass doors.
Investigate options and opportunities to design residences that allow for flexibility, openness, and wellness.
Recognize the features of manufactured swinging and sliding exterior glass doors that impact their performance and how to select options to fit performance needs.
Consider the ways in which the functional elements of large swinging and sliding exterior glass doors can contribute to healthy living and wellness.

Thomas Barrie, FAIA, DPACSA is a professor of architecture and director of the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Initiative at the NC State College of Design. Two parallel interests comprise Professor Barrie’s teaching, scholarship and publication – both of which occupy the common ground of syncretic approaches to meaningful placemaking in the built environment. The first focuses on alternative histories of architecture and, in particular, the interrelationship of a culture’s architecture and its cultural/religious beliefs. Professor Barrie’s scholarship on the symbolism, ritual use, and cultural significance of architecture has brought him to sacred places around the world, and he has published and lectured extensively on this subject area.

Architects and engineers have different design foci and methods, but most building projects demand that architects and engineers communicate and work together. This is necessary to: meet the clients’ requirements, comply with relevant standards, achieve design coherence and then a high performance and safe building. Collaboration involves the design disciplines working together, sharing knowledge, learning from each other, and, by that, designing a building informed by professional inputs and consensus. Collaboration also involves acknowledging that elements may change and design development is not only inevitable, but desirable. This course will explore the Engineering side of project design and implementation to help build a better looking project. Engineers will share past experiences and common coordination issues to help head off these issues earlier in the design process rather than during construction when they would be more costly to fix. Typical coordination issues can range from above ceiling items, like Mechanical and Plumbing, to room facing Electrical, Technology, and Fire Protection systems. This Lunch & Learn is being offered in-person and virtually. Registration details below.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Attendees will explore the engineering side of projects for each discipline and better understand how the design focus for those disciplines impacts the overall project.
Attendees will explore the necessary clearances for equipment and why this should be addressed early in design.
Attendees will review various code requirements and understand why those requirements are necessary.
The presenters will share past experiences and list some of the most common coordination issues that appear in projects. Attendees will be able to use these to help head off these issues earlier in the design process rather than during construction when they would be more costly to fix.

PRESENTED BY

Morgan Gunter, PE | Electrical Engineer at Optima Engineering and
Evan Connell, PE | Mechanical Engineer at Optima Engineering

Morgan Gunter is an Electrical Engineer with experience in lighting, control systems, and power distribution using REVIT, AutoCAD, and BIM planning. He has an extensive understanding of various project types, such as new buildings, existing facilities, K-12, churches, high rise office buildings, and manufacturing facilities, while continuing to add to his wide range of design abilities. His troubleshooting expertise with knowledge of arc-flash analysis, field surveys, and communications make him a well-versed Electrical Engineer.

Evan Connell is a Mechanical & Plumbing Engineer in the Raleigh office with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from NC State with more than ten years of experience. His experience lies in the design and development of air and water side CV and VAV systems, geothermal, critical environmental, sound sensitive spaces, VRF, dust collection, domestic supply and gravity waste/vent distribution, as well as a number of other systems. Energy analysis modeling, Revit, and AutoCAD document drafting on projects such as K-12, multi-family, commercial retail, and higher education build on his extensive knowledge for both new construction as well as renovation. His expertise in the design of VRF, ground-source, and high-efficiency HVAC equipment is always set with sustainable design in mind.
