SUMMARY:Embodied Carbon Reduction in Buildings: Case Studies in LCA
DESCRIPTION:Iterative life cycle assessment (LCA) through the course of design offers a powerful method for vetting embodied carbon reduction strategies. This session will walk through key priorities and examples of how to put LCA into practice during design and procurement. First\, we will consider target setting\, building certifications\, scoping considerations\, and structural system selection during early design. Then we will walk through practical examples of assembly comparisons and whole building life cycle assessment (WBLCA) on vastly different building types and scopes including offices\, data centers\, multi-family\, and commercial fit-outs. These diverse case studies will offer insight into how LCA can be leveraged for decision making towards deep carbon reduction. \nThis course is taught by Aurora Jensen Brightworks Sustainability. \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Meet your instructor \nAurora is a Senior Technical Specialist and the Embodied Carbon Lead with Brightworks Sustainability in New York City with a focus on materials and carbon\, and a part-time faculty member at the Parsons School of Design. With her work she seeks to engage multiple scales of social and environmental concerns—from microscale heat flows to macroscale supply chains—by linking passive\, active\, and materials design decisions to climate. She uses her experience in high performance energy modeling and whole building life cycle assessment (WBLCA) to drive down the operational and embodied carbon of projects. She sits on the ILFI Energy and Carbon TAG\, and co-leads the NYC chapter of the Carbon Leadership Forum. Aurora received her Masters in Design Studies in Energy and Environment with distinction from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				Click Here to Take the Quiz\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Background photo by Luke Chesser on Unsplash. \n

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:Embodied Carbon in Buildings: Tools Overview
DESCRIPTION:In this Tools Overview session\, we will discuss the wide breadth of available tools and how to select an appropriate tool for your project. We’ll dig a bit into background data\, and show 3 or 4 tools in more depth with time for questions and discussion. \nThis course is taught by Steph Carlisle Carbon Leadership Forum (CLF). \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Meet your instructor \nStephanie Carlisle is a Senior Researcher at the Carbon Leadership Forum where she leads collaborative development of open-access LCA data\, tools\, and methods to support the building sector in radically decarbonizing construction. Her work brings together diverse stakeholders from design\, industry\, land management\, labor\, and policy to find new approaches to climate justice. Prior to joining the CLF\, she was a Principal at KieranTimberlake where she helped develop Tally\, a whole building LCA tool\, and worked to implement strategies that address the climate and health impacts of building materials. She is Co-Editor-in-Chief of Scenario Journal\, and a lecturer at the Weitzman School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania where she teaches courses in life cycle assessment\, building materials\, and urban ecology.  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				Click Here to Take the Quiz\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Background photo by Milad Fakurian on Unsplash. \n

SUMMARY:Design Charrettes: A Tool to Manage Cost\, Optimize Synthesis\, and Achieve Excellence
DESCRIPTION:The demands for high-performance\, net zero\, resilient design are growing. A key element to meeting these demands in the collaborative design process is the design “charrette” or workshop. Unfortunately\, they often are underutilized and don’t fulfill their full potential. This course is designed for owners\, designers\, and employees within the built environment industry who want to unlock the potential of their projects. Participants will leave with the strategies\, templates\, and guiding principles needed to use charrettes as a means of building effective teams\, controlling costs\, and coordinating strategies to keep projects on track. \nThis course is taught by Barbra Batshalom Sustainable Performance Institute (SPI). \n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Funding Grants Available: Submit by August 16th\, 2023\n				The express grant is designed to help businesses of all sizes respond quickly to emerging needs and keep employees engaged.

SUMMARY:Building Science Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:Four 4-Hour Sessions from September 12th to September 21st.\nAbout the Class \nBuilding Science Fundamentals is a seminar that teaches the basic knowledge needed to design and build durable\, energy-efficient\, affordable\, and healthy buildings. This is an interactive sessions with where questions are encouraged. The course will discuss building science principles (such as the control of heat\, air\, and moisture and IAQ) and show you how to apply them to low-energy enclosure design\, advanced HVAC systems\, forensic investigations\, and the repair and retrofit of existing buildings. \nBuilding Science Fundamentals has been attended by thousands of builders\, architects\, engineers\, building science consultants\, building code officials\, facility managers\, building product manufacturers\, and government officials. Upon completion of the seminar\, members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) will receive 16 LU|HSW posted directly to the AIA Provider website. \nRegistration closes on August 29th. \n\n\n\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				About Building Science Corporation\n				Building Science Corporation is a building science consulting firm with clients throughout North America.
