  • LEED v5: An Early Look

    Virtual Event

    In April 2025, the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) launched LEED v5, the latest version of the LEED green building program. Join this free, 1-hour interactive lunchtime webinar to help your team understand the key updates, strategies, and certification pathways, especially those that align with the MA energy codes, to navigate LEED v5 with clarity and confidence.

  • Intro to Healthy Materials

    Virtual Event

    In this workshop, participants will learn key product sustainability metrics and how to identify products and materials that are better for the environment and building occupants. The workshop will highlight the trends and the tools available to find and select healthier products, including: Health Product Declarations (HPDs), Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), transparency, Declare labels, Cradle to Cradle certification, low-emitting materials, and low-embodied-carbon materials.

  • Certified Passive House Designer (PHI) Training

    Virtual Event

    This course provides tools, techniques and tips for how to build via passive house principles for all building types, diving into Passive House building concepts and building a foundation of knowledge and skills to integrate PHI building design standards into building projects. This course is specifically designed to teach the international Passive House Standard (PHI) to design and construction professionals in the U.S. and is required prior to taking the CPHD/C professional certification exam.

  • Decarbonization in Practice: Lessons from the BETA Program

    Join our upcoming Building Tech Forum monthly webinar, exploring the lessons learned from the MassCEC Building Electrification & Transformation Accelerator (BETA): Commercial Buildings Pilot Program, presented by SMMA.

  • Smarter Moisture Management for Healthier, More Durable Buildings

    Join our upcoming Building Tech Forum monthly webinar for an inside look at Lilypad, a material technology designed to help buildings manage moisture more intelligently—reducing reliance on HVAC systems while improving durability and indoor air quality, presented by Adept Materials.

  • High-Performance Windows with Super-Insulating Aerogels with AeroShield

    See how breakthrough transparent aerogels are making it possible to dramatically improve window performance in both new construction and retrofits. Learn how this innovation supports energy efficiency goals, expands retrofit opportunities, and helps deliver superior thermal comfort without compromising design intent.

  • Building Better with Thermal Breaks: Reducing Heat Loss

    Explore how thermal breaks can be integrated into building assemblies to reduce heat loss and improve your envelope and HVAC performance. In well-insulated buildings, thermal bridges can account for up to 30% of total heat loss, making thermal breaks a crucial design feature. Walk away with clear insights on where and how to use thermal breaks effectively, and how they can improve energy performance in both standard and high-performance projects.

  • Reducing Retrofit Risk with Predictive, Physics-based Modeling

    Discover how AUROS Insights brings whole-building, physics-based energy modeling into data and digital twin platforms—enabling holistic decarbonization planning and operational optimization. Learn how integrate building science expertise into smart building infrastructure with AUROS Group.

  • Building Better Thermal Comfort for More Body Types and Lower Energy Bills

    Explore how rethinking thermal comfort beyond the “standard” human can transform building design. In this webinar, Arup introduces a new public tool—comfort.arup.com—that models thermal sensation for diverse populations under real, transient conditions, enabling more inclusive design, improved occupant satisfaction, and reduced heating and cooling loads.
