 PROGRAM: 

This forum will be the opportunity to develop a greater understanding of why and how architects need to incorporate both sustainable and resilient design into their firm culture and design process. The forum takes a deeper diver into the growing demand for high-performance design and how best to achieve it through a more metric-driven, integrated design process. It will give architects a number of processes, design tools, and change management strategies to help improve their firm culture and embrace the connection between design excellence, sustainable design, and resilient design.

Hear from local and national experts throughout the day!

Workshop 1:  Importance of Tracking:  2030 Challenge and Certification Programs
Topics:  With the 2030 Challenge and the large number of the current certification programs, it can be difficult to decide how to focus a firm’s direction.  What are the differences between all of the programs and how do we decide which is best for our project and client?  And Why Certify at all?    LEED,  Well, Green Globes, Living Building Challenge, Energy Star, NGBS –  Do we need a certification program or is it baked into our process?  Spoiler Alert:  some certification process is critical but how do you decide which is best and advocate for the appropriate certification process?

Speakers:
Traci Rose Rider – NCSU
Jamie Hager – Southern Energy

Workshop 2: High-Performance Design    
Topics:  What does it mean to be a high-performance practice, What are the metrics and how are you structuring your practice to mesh design with high-performance.  What does it look like in a small, medium and large firm?

Speakers:
Randall Lanou – BuildSense
Z Smith – Eskew Dumez Ripple
Jianxin Hu – NCSU

Workshop 3:  Design Culture:  Creating a culture of Integrative Design
Topics:  What and how we measure changes our behavior – AIA 2030 and COTE are redefining beauty in architecture.  Energy modeling and creating a culture of tracking sustainability goals is key, but how do we change our architecture design process to be more metric driven? How do we bake high-performance into our design process?  What management and organizational tools do you use to encourage an integrated practice?

Speakers:
Don Kranbuehl – Clark Nexsen
Maria Papiez – Ewing Cole
Emily McCoy – Design Workshop

Workshop 3: Resilient Design
Topics:  The effects of global warming are around us daily and will affect the design profession and not just the coastal cities: extreme weather is occurring all around the country – drought, extreme rain, flooding, high winds.   How does our architectural design process respond?  What’s required by code and if it’s not, how do we design for a changing landscape? What is extreme weather and how do we design for it?

Speakers:
David Hill – NCSU Head of School of Architecture; Co-Director of Coastal Dynamics Lab
David Perkes – Director of Gulf Coast Community Design Studio, Associate Professor for Mississippi State University

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1.  The participants will develop an understanding of the importance of tracking high performance design metrics, the difference between sustainability, certification programs, and how do we decide which certification or method is best for a project and client.

2.  The participants will develop an understanding of what it means to be a high-performance design practice and what metrics you need to track how and to track them to elevate high-performance whether you are a small, medium or large firm.

3.  The participants will learn what management and organizational tools and resources are critical to create a high-performance integrated design practice for early energy modeling and tracking sustainability goals.

4.  The participants will develop a better understanding of resilient design and what steps, tools, and certification programs are critical to improve the architectural design process so our buildings are better able to respond to the effects of global warming such as drought, extreme rain, flooding and high winds.

PRESENTED BY:

David Hill, FAIA | NC State College of Design

David Hill, FAIA, is a Professor of Architecture and Co-Director of the Coastal Dynamics Design Lab at the College of Design where he has taught full-time since 2007. While at NC State, David has led graduate and undergraduate design studios, digital representation courses, and seminars that focus on integrative digital simulation processes, architectural prototypes, and design strategies for coastal regions. David is pursuing his interests in coastal dynamics, prototypes, and simulation through a series of trans-disciplinary research and design projects with the College of Engineering, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Department of Landscape Architecture, and the UNC Coastal Studies Institute. He has presented papers and design projects related to his research at numerous ACSA, EDRA, and CELA conferences.

Don Kranbuehl, AIA, PE, LEED, BD+C | Clark Nexsen

Don is an award-winning architect with over 20 years of experience in the design of academic, science and technology, and civic project types. He has led the design ofa variety of projects that have won over 20 AIA awards including two national AIA CAE awards and three Chicago Athenaeum national design awards. Don is passionate about the relationship between architecture and its site and creating design solutions that respond to the climate, natural and built context, and public realm. Don leads the fmn’s commitment to the 2030 Challenge and the firm’s Integrated Design group which is a network of sustainable designers working to improve the process of creating high-performance buildings. He encourages a highly collaborative approach working with the owner and design team to find the best opportunities for synergies between the site, program, budget, and building performance.
