SUMMARY:Talking Trash to Save Money: A Guide on Planning Efficient Waste Streams
DESCRIPTION:When architects fail to plan for several waste streams\, that building manager can expect to pay up to three times as much in sorting\, disposal\, and hauling fees\, as well as workers’ compensation. This course is designed to ensure designers understand the space and electrical requirements necessary for dock space\, and the internal storage of trash\, recycling\, organic food waste\, and special materials. Lack of planning for these elements has direct effects on the ability to sort and separate waste materials\, custodial safety\, and the cost of waste contracts. \nLearning Objectives\nPlanning strategies will focus on… \n\naccess by waste hauling vehicles\nexternal space necessary for waste containers\ninternal container storage\nmovement of containers throughout facility\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Meet Our Speakers\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Gretchen Carey\n					\n					Gretchen Carey is the Recycling and Organics Coordinator of New England for Republic Services. She is also a LEED Green Associate and Zero Waste TRUE advisor\, and has been in the solid waste field for 13 years. Gretchen is also the President of the statewide non-profit\, MassRecycle.

SUMMARY:Bird Safe Design: Strategies for Designing Bird-Friendly Buildings
DESCRIPTION:** “Bird Safe Design” will now be hosted virtually in response to the increasing spread of the novel coronavirus/COVID-19. Registered attendees will receive their Zoom meeting link a few days before March 17th. **\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\n\n\nThis class will review the science that explains bird collisions\, how to recognize hazards present in the built environment\, and a range of building designs that illustrate solutions. These case studies will explore many of the available strategies for reducing bird mortality; these bird-friendly strategies oftentimes bring additional value to design decisions for heat\, light\, and security. We will review regulations connected to bird-friendly design\, including the use of the LEED credit as well as current legislation that mandates safer design for birds. Techniques now in use for evaluating the relative threat level to birds of different materials are also described in this course\, along with typical results.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse objectives:\n● Identify and apply current best practices in reducing bird collisions in new design\n● Integrate bird-friendly architecture with other aspects of green design\n● Understand existing and potential legislation mandating bird-friendly design\n● Use LEED Pilot Credit #55: Reducing Bird Collisions

SUMMARY:CANCELLED | Presinar: Get Inside the Building Automation System: Your Building’s Brain
DESCRIPTION:** In response to the increasing spread of the novel coronavirus/COVID-19\, we are exercising caution by rethinking our events programming. For the time being\, all presinars up until June will be cancelled until further notice. We thank you for your cooperation and patience. **\n\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				GBCI: 0920020330 \nLearn how a Building Automation System (BAS) can provide benefits in three key areas: environmental\, comfort\, and financial.  This session will take a look at modern commercial BAS basics including architecture\, networks\, controllers\, programming tools\, and user interface. You will discover how to evaluate and select a BAS that meets your needs. We will also make sure you are up to speed on the latest BAS trends including ASHRAE guide 36\, automated fault detection and diagnostics\, mobile applications\, and even IoT-based BAS. You will leave with an understanding of how a BAS can help your building be greener\, more user-friendly\, and less expensive to operate. \nObjectives: \n\nDescribe BAS components\, system architecture\, and network.\nExplain the basic steps in specifying a BAS.\nDefine basic procedures in comparing and selecting BAS.\nDiscuss the recent trends and new development in BAS.\n\nCredits: 1 AIA 1 GBCI (LEED General) \nhttps://www.usgbc.org/education/sessions/get-inside-building-automation-system-your-building%E2%80%99s-brain-12622537
