SUMMARY:PH 120: The Architect's Role in Passive Building
DESCRIPTION:About the TrainingPH 120: The Architect’s Role in Passive Building is a course for practitioners who have completed PHMass’ PH101: An Introduction to Passive Building or have equivalent experience. Moving beyond foundational building science\, this session focuses on the architect’s practical responsibility as the central coordinator of a performance-based design. \nThe course centers on the systemic interdependence required of passive building\, illustrating how early decisions—such as building form—directly impact mechanical requirements and project viability. Participants will learn to navigate an integrated design process where architectural\, engineering\, and construction workflows co-evolve to meet Passive House standards. Key topics include airtightness requirements\, cost optimization\, energy budgets\, and managing complex building transitions. We also examine the architect’s role in construction-phase quality control and the documentation shifts necessary to translate certification targets from the drawing set to the field. This training provides a framework for navigating the specific architectural challenges of successful Passive House delivery. \nThis webinar is eligible for 2 AIA LU / HSW and 1 Phius continuing education credits. \n This is a live\, in-person training led by Beth Campbell with Passive House Massachusetts. Training will take place in Downtown Boston. Exact location provided upon registration. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Beth Campbell\, CPHB\, CPHT\, is the Education Program Director at Passive House Massachusetts with over 20 years of hands-on experience in residential passive building construction. Beth’s background as a high performance builder and project manager gives her a uniquely grounded understanding of real-world project challenges. She has a proven track record of delivering innovative net-zero and passive single-family and “missing middle” residential projects\, and previously focused on improving panelized construction methods at Unity Homes/Bensonwood in New England. As a Phius Certified Builder course Instructor\, a PHI Certified Tradesperson\, and Chair of Passive House Rhode Island\, Beth is deeply committed to empowering emerging high performance professionals by sharing practical\, field-tested strategies to navigate challenges and achieve successful passive buildings. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register here\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learning Objectives\n				1. Define the architect’s specific responsibilities as the central coordinator within the integrated design\, engineering\, and construction workflows required to meet Passive House performance standards.2. Evaluate the systemic impact of early-stage design decisions\, such as building massing\, on a project’s energy budget\, mechanical system requirements\, and overall cost optimization.3. Identify strategies for maintaining control-layer continuity across complex architectural transitions and high-risk building penetrations\, including podiums\, shafts\, and utility interfaces.4. Analyze the shifts in documentation and construction-phase oversight necessary to ensure that certification targets and prescriptive specifications are accurately translated from the drawing set to the field. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Funding Grants Available: Submit by July 6th\, 2026\n				The Express Grant is designed to help businesses respond quickly to emerging needs and keep employees engaged.

SUMMARY:The Benefits of a Portfolio-level Plan for Building Performance Upgrades
DESCRIPTION:About the TrainingMost building owners tackle energy improvements one building at a time\, which can be slow\, expensive\, and miss opportunities to prioritize the most beneficial upgrades at the right time across a building portfolio. Through a cost-effective desktop assessment\, consultants provide a portfolio-level plan that can enable owners of multiple buildings to maximize energy savings\, take advantage of incentives\, and tackle aging equipment across a portfolio. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Building owners and operators\, property and facility managers of multiple buildings\, and energy and sustainability managers can benefit from this 1-hour webinar. Hear from an owner’s perspective on the value of this plan\, known in the industry as a Portfolio Decarbonization Roadmap. Learn about what’s included\, what’s not included\, and whether it’s right for you. \nThis is a live\, online webinar led by Erin Camp at PowerOptions and Helio Rosa at YMCA of Greater Boston. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Erin Camp\, PhD\, is the Energy Sustainability and Analytics Program Manager at PowerOptions. She is leading the design and execution of PowerOptions’ new program that provides sustainability advisory and data analytics services to our members. \nErin has a decade of professional experience as an energy consultant\, researcher\, and analyst working in the sustainable energy transition space. Her areas of expertise include electrification of buildings and transportation\, renewable energy and energy storage technologies\, emissions inventories\, and energy economics and policy. Prior to joining PowerOptions\, she worked as a senior consultant at Synapse Energy Economics\, where she served as a project manager and energy analyst for non-profit and government clients. Before Synapse\, Erin worked at the Cadmus Group for public-sector clients on strategic electrification and energy policies and programs. \nErin earned a PhD in Geological Sciences from Cornell University and a Bachelor of Arts in Geology from Amherst College in Massachusetts. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Helio is the Vice President\, Facilities and Real Estate for the YMCA of Greater Boston. Since joining YGB in 2020\, he oversees the planning\, design and construction of capital projects and renovations for the organization\, the management of facilities operations and maintenance\, and the entire real estate portfolio for the Association. The YMCA of Greater Boston is comprised of 13 health and wellness centers\, 3 overnight and 2 outdoor day summer Camps and dozens of integrated Youth Development program sites throughout greater Boston and New Hampshire\, where for 175 years\, it has dedicated itself to improving the health of mind\, body and spirit of individuals and families in our communities. \nIn his time with the Y\, he has been responsible for advancing the member enhancement\, deferred maintenance and life safety initiatives and now includes one other component: Sustainability. The YMCA of Greater Boston recently embarked on a decarbonization pathway to get to NetZero which will position the organization for the next generations to come. With nearly 30 years of experience\, Helio has previously worked in a similar capacity at a large healthcare system as well as in a healthcare architecture firm prior to joining YGB. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Register here\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Learning Objectives\n				1.
