Learning Units: 7.50-Intermediate level
Training Units: 1.875-Training Area 17 (Energy Conservation)
We are delighted to present this new program in cooperation with the Society of Building Science Educators (SBSE), the AIA Educator/Practitioner Network and the AIA Committee on the Environment. This program will offer participants a means of reducing the building sector's dependence on fossil fuels, thereby significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and working toward the goal of zero emissions by 2030.
The program will include a brief design charrette and peer review, an overview of recent case studies, and a discussion of the barriers to high performance practice. The charrette will provide experience in developing innovative design responses for a carbon-neutral project. Topics to be presented include: prioritizing mitigation, adaptation, and sequestration (Nicholas Rajkovich), designing passive and low energy buildings (Bruce Haglund), utilizing low carbon and renewable energy in designs (Walter Grondzik) and analyzing the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center (D. Michael Utzinger). The design problem will challenge participants to develop an appropriately responsive schematic design for a hypothetical project using resources and guidelines that address carbon neutrality. Following a peer review and critique of design responses, participants are invited to engage in a reflective exercise on "adapting the process to my own practice". Lunch is included.
Learning Objectives:
- Propose an appropriately responsive schematic design for a hypothetical project using resources and guidelines that address carbon neutrality
- Review and discuss passive design strategies and renewable energy sources in the context of particular climates
- Provide peer review and critique of proposed design responses
Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to work with this distinguished team of building science educators and practitioners.
