SUMMARY:Introduction to the Passive House Standard
DESCRIPTION:About the Class \nPassive House goals and methodology change the way architects and builders think and work\, making the architectural design itself a driver of climate\, health\, and social solutions. This is a 4-hour course that dives into the basic principles\, history\, certification\, and the new frontiers of Passive House design as it continues to challenge and change industry expectations. All theory is then illustrated through several case studies outlining specific Passive House principles. This course is provided by The Passive House Network. \nParticipants will need to provide their own laptop with internet capabilities. \n4 AIA/HSW Continuing Education Units are available for this training. \nGraphic background photo is a rendering of 201 Hampden via Placetailor \n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About PHN\n				The Passive House Network (PHN)\, formerly known as NAPHN\, is a high-performance building literacy program.

SUMMARY:Decarbonize Existing Buildings Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Join the BE+ Decarbonize Existing Buildings Alliance hosted monthly roundtable\, a venue for architects\, designers\, construction managers\, and sustainability professionals to discuss issues related to decarbonizing existing buildings.\nReach out to communications@builtenvironmentplus.org with any inquiries\, questions\, or concerns. \nExisting buildings are major contributors to climate change. In 2015\, existing residential and commercial buildings generated 1\,913.3 MMtCO2e\, or 29 percent of total U.S. emissions. To help address this sector\, Built Environment Plus (BE+) with Rethinking Power Management LLC (RPM) are spearheading a coalition of organizations with expertise in GHG reduction and who are committed to supporting decarbonization in existing buildings. \nThis reoccurring monthly gathering is a roundtable which serves as a platform where practitioners and reporting entities can come together to discuss best practices\, technologies\, challenges\, hear information related to the ordinance and its implementation\, etc. \nThe Alliance’s objectives include: \n– Increase awareness of energy disclosure ordinances including BERDO and BEUDO and enhance understanding of requirements.  \n– Provide information and resources to reporting organizations that answer “how do we comply” questions through general and building-sector specific webinars. \n– Engage disadvantaged/underserved communities. \n– Share best practices and lessons learned. \n– Provide resources to building owners to help understand decarbonization pathways and create carbon reduction roadmaps. \n– Work with non-profit partners to provide information about/introductions to established practitioners.  \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				\n				\n\n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				*Roundtables are FREE for Built Environment Plus Members. \n**New to the Roundtables?

SUMMARY:Building Highly Effective Teams
DESCRIPTION:Teams can thrive when trust is built and conditions are created that are conducive to success. Sometimes teams are brought together under challenging circumstances that may cause anxiety and stress due to unclear goals\, mixed messages\, and hidden conflicts. These dynamics lead to a lack of efficiency and poor decision making. This workshop focuses on ways to structure project interactions to maximize collaboration and help people understand how to contribute most effectively to set teams up for success. Participants will have the opportunity to apply concepts through exercises.  \nThis course is taught by Barbra Batshalom Sustainable Performance Institute (SPI). \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Funding Grants Available: Submit by February 21st\, 2023\n				The express grant is designed to help businesses of all sizes respond quickly to emerging needs and keep employees engaged. With bite-size grants for just-in-time training and no waiting periods between grants\, the Express program is the Workforce Training Fund’s fastest path to funding. \nYou could take this training for FREE.

SUMMARY:Bringing the UN Sustainable Development Goals Back Home: Where do you fit?
DESCRIPTION:Taking a step back to look at the role we play as one set of actors within the larger global ecosystem. What is our responsibility to all of the living systems when our needs require the extraction\, processing\, and disposal of natural resources? How can we create a living future: one that is socially just\, culturally rich\, and ecologically restorative? Enter the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals\, a set of internationally developed goals for how to promote prosperity for all while also protecting the health of the planet. \nWe have invited two global leaders to tell us how they integrate these global imperatives into their very down-to-earth decisions and actions.
