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 webinar stems from the BETA: Roadmaps program\, funded by MassCEC\, to provide roadmaps for non-profits and public entities to decarbonize their building portfolios by 2050. Read more about portfolio-level planning in this 1-pager\, and view case studies on the Building Performance Exchange’s Proven Practices page. \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.

It will cover the two prerequisites and five credits that span the rating system’s core impact areas of Decarbonization\, Quality of Life\, and Ecosystem Conservation and Restoration. Participants will learn how LEED v5 elevates embodied carbon assessment with a prerequisite requirement to quantify cradle-to-gate emissions across key material categories\, along with a new Embodied Carbon credit that provides multiple options for achievement. The session will examine the Building Product Selection and Procurement credit’s multi-attribute scoring framework\, which aligns with the Common Materials Framework. The presenters will also cover the updated Construction and Demolition Waste Diversion credit\, which places increased value on salvaged and source-separated materials over commingled recycling. \nThis webinar is eligible for 1 AIA LU / HSW and LEED-specific (pending approval) continuing education credits. \n This is a live\, online training led by Carrie Havey and Matthew Smith with The Green Engineer. \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 Carrie Havey\, LEED Fellow\, has been with The Green Engineer since 2010.

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\, 1 Phius and 2 PHI continuing education credits. \nThis is a live\, virtual training led by Beth Campbell with Passive House Massachusetts. A zoom link will be provided after 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.
