SUMMARY:Let's Talk Cross Laminated Timber
DESCRIPTION:Join our friends at Arup for a morning of discussions about using Mass Timber in building construction. Timber is the only renewable building material and is a part of a low carbon future. It is strong and light\, making it easy to transport and erect. It can also be machined to very high tolerances\, making it ideal for prefabrication. New mass timber products such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT)\, combined with engineered timber systems of Glulam and Nail Laminated Timber (NLT)\, and recent advances in computer-controlled manufacturing\, now make it an attractive choice for construction in a variety of building types from residential to offices. Proposed revisions to the IBC could allow mass timber construction up to 18 stories. \n\nPresenters\nDavid Barber\nDavid is a Principal and fire engineer at Arup. David has been involved with research and design of timber structures for fire for over 20 years\, assisting with fire testing and development into new timber technologies\, authoring fire safety design guides for construction and completing fire safety design for mid and high-rise timber buildings. David is currently working on Framework in Portland Oregon\, a new 12 level mixed-used and residential development that was a joint winner of the USDA Tall Wood Building Competition. \nPatrick McCafferty\nPatrick is an Associate Principal with Arup and a lecturer at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Patrick has led the structural engineering design of a number of mass timber projects including the first use of CLT in Massachusetts for MassDOT Aeronautical Division’s building initiative at Fitchburg\, Beverly\, Mansfield\, and Plymouth Regional Airports. \nRebecca Hatchadorian\nRebecca is an Associate with Arup and a Board Member of USGBA MA. Rebecca is a Sustainability Consultant who understands the sustainability benefits to Mass Timber from scope 3 emissions\, embodied carbon and biophilic design. She is currently leading the buildings sector analysis for Carbon Free Boston\, to identify pathways for Boston’s building sector to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

SUMMARY:Sustainability 101: From Foundations to the Future
DESCRIPTION:At USGBC MA\, we want to help the green building community redesign the built environment to be more sustainable. As climate change becomes a pressing issue for Boston\, professionals are going to need to work together to meet this goal. \nBut where do you start? \nSometimes\, it is good to start with the basics. At our course Sustainability 101: From Foundations to the Future\, attendees will learn about the basics of sustainability in the built environment. From the three E’s of sustainability from USGBC\, from what the laws of thermodynamics have to do with sustainability\, attendees will leave this course with a broader appreciation and understanding of sustainability. \nAbout the instructor\, Meredith Elbaum\nAs a sustainability advocate and educator\, I joined the USGBC MA\, as Executive Director\, in November 2017. Before becoming ED\, I was developing climate action plans\, master plans\, design guidelines and green buildings as President of the Elbaum Group\, LLC. Fueled by an interest in materials transparency I launched the Health Product Declaration as its Interim Executive Director.  For almost a decade I was Director of Sustainable Design at Sasaki. During that time I helped in the USGBC MA Chapter’s creation and served as a founding board member. I also co-created the Architecture and Design Sustainable Design Leaders Network. I earned a BArch from Rice University and a MSArch from MIT and I currently teach architecture students at Wentworth Institute of Technology.  I’m looking forward to advancing net positive communities in Massachusetts and beyond.

SUMMARY:Healthy Building Summit 2018
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, the World Green Building Council reported that buildings designed for occupant wellness reported healthier\, happier\, and more productive employees. One Harvard University study even found that green office environments were linked with higher cognitive function scores in occupants.\nThe data shows that healthy buildings are not an unnecessary expense. In fact\, they can directly improve the bottom line of many businesses. Yet from Health Product Declarations (HPD) to Red Lists\, WELL to FitWell\, and LEED to The Living Building Challenge\, the avenues for pursuing healthy buildings for your occupants can be challenging to navigate. \nWe want to empower building owners and stakeholders by increasing their knowledge of healthy building strategies so their employees and clients can have the best work experience possible.\nFor our Healthy Building Summit\, we have gathered an expert panel from top universities and companies. Join us for a catered breakfast and converse with your colleagues about healthy buildings. Afterward\, our panel will launch into discussion\, engaging the audience with cutting-edge questions and information on the science and engineering of healthy buildings. \nFor information about speakers and sponsorship please visit usgbcma.org/hbs18.

Joy will talk about sea rise and the significant costs (very significant real estate costs) every community will incur from today through 2100. Matt will talk about his experience’s working with communities developing infrastructure and residential areas that will be impacted by flooding in the Cape Ann region. Matt will describe how his communities have reduced fossil fuel requirements by using renewable energy sources. Bill W.\, Joy and Matt will look forward to an engaging discussion with all of you about community design in era of Climate Change in the 21st Century. \nAbout the Presenters \nJoy Conway\nJoy is a Climate Reality Leader\, trained by Al Gore and The Climate Reality Project to speak about the impacts of climate change and the need to shift from fossil fuels to clean renewable energy. The Project began in 2006 in response to the landmark film\, An Inconvenient Truth. Today\, the Project provides research and scientific data to a corps of 14\,000 Leaders organized in a worldwide network. This year\, training programs for new Leaders were held in Mexico City\, Berlin\, and Los Angeles. \nJoy began work on renewable energy policy and programs in the 1990s in her position as Senior Vice President for Government and Industry Affairs for the Greater Boston Real Estate Board. She represented the real estate industry on many environmental projects\, including the Green Building Advisory Committee of the Renewable Energy Trust\, Massachusetts Technology Collaborative. Among its various policy initiatives\, the Committee recommended proposals to incorporate renewable energy into affordable housing. \nMatt Coogan\nMatt helped make the Gloucester one of the leading municipalities in clean energy and energy efficiency. Under his leadership\, the City completed over $3 million of energy projects that significantly reduce the municipality’s energy consumption and reduced CO2 emissions by 35 percent. This includes lighting upgrades in 17 municipal facilities\, HVAC upgrades in several facilities\, a city-wide LED streetlight conversion\, and the creation of the City’s Electric Vehicle (EV) fleet by and publicly accessible electric vehicle charging stations. Gloucester received a Fast Fleet Award in 2017 from the Center for Sustainable Energy for having one of the top performing EV fleets in the nation. Matt also led efforts to help the community reduce energy consumption and costs and invest in local renewable energy\, launching Gloucester Green to help residents and collaborating with the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce to create Cape Ann Saves Energy (CASE) to help local businesses. In addition to his focus on reducing carbon emissions\, Matt was part of the Gloucester Climate Vulnerability Study that helped the City identify areas vulnerable to storm surges and flooding\, factoring in climate change in future time horizons. Matt received the 2016 Massachusetts Leading by Example Award from the Baker-Polito administration in recognition of his efforts to implement policies and programs that have led to significant and measurable environmental and energy benefits.

SUMMARY:Home Tour: A 19th Century Style Victorian goes LEED Platinum
DESCRIPTION:Interested in the basics of high-performance homebuilding or residential green building? Join Green Pheonix\, LDA\, and Essex Restoration for a tour of 346 Highland\, a Victorian Style home aiming for LEED Platinum\, Energy Star 3.1\, EPA Indoor AirPlus\, and DOE Net Zero Ready.  Both vendors and subcontractors for the building will explain how mechanical ventilation systems impact indoor air quality\, green features\, and various equipment and services. \nPlease note that the home is currently still in construction phase\, and will be weathertight and include mechanicals\, but will not include interior insulation and drywall. \nAbout the Home\nThe Highland Street project is a total reimagination of a classic late 19th-century Victorian farmhouse. Retaining the well-proportioned and attractive main 1897 house\, the 1960s-era wing will be removed and replaced with larger and more appropriate living spaces in the New England farmhouse vernacular. The detached vintage garage/barn will be removed and a new three-car garage with living space above will be added. The shallow rubble-wall basement will be excavated and finished to provide additional living space and improve the home’s efficiency. \nThe house will be modernized using best-practice building science principals to include a super-insulated exterior envelope\, high-efficiency heating\, air-conditioning\, and hot water systems\, a mechanical ventilation system\, low-consumption water fixtures\, and high-performance windows and doors. Careful landscape design with natural and adapted plants will reduce irrigation demand and maintenance. \nThis project is registered for LEED® certification with the U.S. Green Building Council. The LEED rating system\, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC)\, is the foremost program for buildings\, homes and communities that are designed\, constructed\, maintained and operated for improved environmental and human health performance. A home can achieve LEED certification under the LEED for Homes program after undergoing a technically rigorous process\, including the incorporation of green strategies to achieve efficiency and healthy indoor environments. The sound design and operation of the home is tested and measured using tools like a home energy (HERS) rating and onsite inspections.

SUMMARY:Zero Net Energy Building Municipal Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:According to MA Clean Energy and Climate Plan for 2020\, buildings consume more than 50% of energy used in Massachusetts and account for over 50% of greenhouse gas emissions. As climate change accelerates\, municipalities need strategies to combat the carbon emissions from their building stock. \nZero Net Energy Building (ZNE Building) is one solution. ZNE Buildings produce as much energy as they use throughout a year. Cities such as Cambridge and Amherst are leading the way by developing ZNE plans. \nUSGBC MA\, in collaboration with MCAN\, MAPC\, and NEEP\, is interested in hearing from you about the path to ZNE Buildings within your city/town. The ZNE Building Municipal Roundtable is a venue for municipal staff\, committee members and elected officials to come together to share obstacles\, solutions and strategies for creating more ZNE Buildings. \nIn 2017 USGBC MA began gathering various stakeholders including MCAN\, MAPC\, and NEEP to address barriers to Massachusetts communities becoming Zero Net Energy. The coalition has met several times and we often hear the cost and perception of increased cost is a major obstacle. With funding from the Barr Foundation\, USGBC MA is working on a report to analyze the cost of Zero Net Energy buildings in Massachusetts. We will be incorporating lessons learned at the Roundtable into the report. \nThrough collaboration and innovative ZNE Building policies and planning\, municipalities can address the threat of climate change facing our cities and towns. Join us to further the conversation. \nParking information:\nVisitors can park in spaces in Lot #1 or Lot #2 that are not designated as employee parking. Note that the new electric car charging stations in Lot #1 are for electric car-charging only\, and should not be used for general parking. Lot #3 is currently closed to house construction supplies.\n \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Energy Modeling in eQUEST
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This event is a part of a four-course series. Registering for this course will also sign you up for all four additional courses in this series. The course is arranged in this way to allow you to practice the energy modeling in between courses.\nClass 1: June 21st from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM\nClass 2: July 12th from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM\nClass 3: August 2nd from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM\nClass 4: August 23rd from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM \nThis a comprehensive commercial energy modeling course for you to master eQUEST\, the free “Quick Energy Simulation Tool” developed by the U.S. Department of Energy and other industry leaders. eQUEST is the most commonly used software for energy modeling for code compliance\, utility incentives\, and LEED Certification for commercial buildings. This course is hands-on. You will learn how to build and run energy models. By the end of the course\, you should be able to function as the go-to energy modeler on an integrated design team.\nThe course will consist of four separate modules. Each module will start with a two hour in class session\, followed by modeling exercises that are done outside of class\, to be completed by the next class session (aka homework). Each module will build upon previous work in class. By the end of the fourth module\, students will have created\, run and QCed an energy model on a building of their choosing. Along the way we’ll touch on the uses of energy modeling in an integrated design process\, and some of the standards that apply to energy modeling such as ASHRAE 90.1 Appendix G.\nThis is a hands-on\, project-based course that will give you the confidence to do energy modeling for paying clients. While there are no specific pre-requisites\, knowledge of the building industry and basic building science will be helpful.\nAttendees will use their own computers (bring them to class) Mac Users: Unfortunately\, eQUEST only runs natively on PCs. In order to run the software on a Mac\, you’ll need to use a virtualization program.\n  \nAbout the instructor \nChris Schaffner\, PE\, LEED Fellow\, BEMP is founder and President of The Green Engineer\, Inc. He has been involved in the design and modeling of building energy systems for more than 30 years\, and is certified as a “Building Energy Modeling Professional” by ASHRAE. He is also a part-time Lecturer at Northeastern University\, and member of the LEED Faculty\, having provided continuing education to more than 10\,000 building industry professionals over the last 20 years.
